A Lazy Day - 10/21/13

A lazy day - 10/21/13

Another day at sea. Did I mention that we love sea days? 

We woke up refreshed. Ken has fixed the problem with the pinging bed. There is a metal frame that holds the mattress and it was pushed up against the bulkhead, so every time the ship moved the bulkhead moved and that made the metal frame move which then created pinging sounds that echoed through the mattress and into the ear of anyone lying on the bed. By pulling the frame about an inch away from the wall, the chain reaction was stopped. My husband is so smart. The people who designed this ship, not so much.

The weather was wonderful. We saw no other ships or airplanes all day. We just sailed along to nowhere.

We started the morning with room service breakfast and some balcony time. I finished my book and started another one.  I called the purser's office and they answered the phone this time and I told them our TV was broken again.

After such a busy morning, it was suddenly time for the Cruise Critic lunch in the Allegro dining room. Some of the Cruise Critic people made up a song to the tune of Rockin' Robin and sang it for the group.

I played bridge after lunch with Peter from Vancouver. We did really well and finished first in our section.

We went to a show called "Sweet Soul Music." It was loud, but not unbearable. It was ok but nothing special.  It wasn't even all soul music. There was disco music, too.  Then we went to dinner and then we came back to the room and didn't watch TV but listened to our neighbors watching TV.  We kept saying to each other: "We can watch TV at home. We didn't come on a vacation to watch TV." And that is so true.
