Monday, January 29th – At Sea Day
We had another lazy start to another lazy at sea day. Ahhh.... I was up at about 8:30 am but Scott lounged in bed a bit longer. We had lost the hour the night before and I guess he was determined to make up for it.
Everybody decided to go to Cabanas for breakfast this morning so Scott and I decided to join them and it was about 10:00 am when we got there to meet everyone. The last few cruises I’ve stuck to their granola and this time was no exception except it was a bit soupy so I also got some type of mango parfait thingy that was a nice addition to it.
It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze that was going to keep things cool for the day. We decided to go and see what was going on at the front of the ship. These chairs were a nice place to hang out in the shade. As you can see, we aren’t having a very good time at all!
And then this is what happens when you tell everyone to behave for the photo.
Maureen got one facing the other way.
Time for a drink! We all got the morning specials, either mimosas or bloody mary’s. The boys had a couple of refills on theirs. Cheers!
We had the Chocolate and Liquor tasting booked for 12:15 pm in Ooh La La Bar, so it was time to move on from one watering hole to the next. We stopped at our cabins on the way down, but still got there a smidge early and had to wait for them to open the doors at 12:15 pm.
Finally!! Let us in – we’ve got drinking to do! Ha ha.
They had all of the drinks and chocolate laid out for us. I will admit that this is one of my favorite tastings that they offer on the ship, so I am completely biased, but my mouth is watering right now just looking at that liquid chocolate!
We were all there but we didn’t get many photos. Elaine from our FB group also was there and joined our table but obviously we didn’t do well in the picture taking department! This one of Scott and I looks like Belinda took it AFTER she’d had all the drinks, not before!
The photo of Paul and Belinda has some happy smiling faces.
Maureen got these two...I am putting them both in there because it cracked me up that Scott immediately leaned to hug Mum and not me! That's how he scores those brownie points.
Julia, who was the sommelier from Palo, did a great job on the tasting. The boys helped finish off the drinks that the others didn’t care for, especially the whiskey. I drank all of mine, in case anyone would doubt it! We got finished at just gone 1 pm. While we were down in that area I had everyone have a nosey around in the Tube to see what it looked like. The theming in there is cute for us Brits to browse around.
I also managed to talk everyone into trying out the Mid-Ship Detective Agency seeing as we were all up and about. On the way there we ran into Pluto having some fun with guests. I had to edit butts out of this photo...how I didn't see that they were there when I was taking the photo is beyond me...and kind of funny!!
The princesses were all meeting and greeting diligently.
We volunteered Belinda to be the one to get the clue card activated. She was thrilled I’m sure, as we are all REALLY good supervisors in my family. There is a handy padded round seat to sit on right next to it, so it was a good place for Mum to watch from.
We hit up a couple of the clues, it’s a cute and fun way to spend some time. Found this little guy down by the Walt Disney theater, although he wasn't a part of the clue searching, he was too cute to pass up a photo opportunity.
By now it was about 1:50 pm and we were all thinking that we should have snack so we took a look to see what Cabanas had to offer. This was Scott’s plate. I think we all got something, I don't remember what, but I'm pretty sure I WOULD remember if anyone in this crowd passed food up!
We hit up the ice cream machines once we were done though!
We spent the rest of the afternoon being lazy in our cabins. There were naps and movies involved on the TV and not a whole lot of anything else. A few of us decided to go up and watch the sunset from Deck 13 at about 5:15 pm. It wasn’t the best as the sun went behind the clouds too soon but it teased us for a while.
