May 2, 2012 Sea Day

Woke to a sunny day on the Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures are in the low 20's and there is a nice breeze. Seas are very calm and the sea depth beneath the ship is 15,000 ft!!



Went down to the Promenade Cafe (much quieter than the buffet) and got a coffee and a muffin. After eating, I walked around the ship. I found a new place that has a bridge view area. When I tried to get back inside the doors wouldn't open and I had to flag down a couple passing on the inside who helped me pry open the doors. I guess I should have gone back in the way I went out - I will remember this next time :)

Back to the cabin and I grabbed a book and went up to the Solarium and read for a while.


 
At 10:45am there was trivia. Met a guy from my message board and we formed a team of 2. We ended with a score of 16/20 which we thought was pretty good since the winners got 19/20 but they were a team of 6+.

At 11:30am the time changed and it became 12:30pm so I went to get a bite to eat since tonight is formal night and I didn't want to miss dinner in the dining room again. Another trivia game later in the day and then it was time to get ready for dinner.

Dinner = now that was awkward! I was supposed to be at a table for 8 but they sat me at a table with 4 couples. And since I wasn't there last night they figured they didn't need the 9th chair so it and the place setting had been removed and had to be put back after I arrived. Also these 8 people were part of a large group travelling together. Everyone was very nice but I still felt out of place. I think Royal Caribbean must have thought they were doing me a favour since all of these people were from British Columbia.



Back to the cabin. I had a quiet evening. Now bed time :)
