Avast ye landlubbers - Sea day 1


Safe to say that I slept the best.  The ship rocks constantly which helped me sleep like a baby.  The boys not so much.  I think we woke at about 630, probably due to the little bits of light coming in around the curtains.  We never seem to be able to get complete darkness you think we would be able to cope with a lil bit of light.


Breakfast first and we decided to just try the lido buffet.  Went down after 8 and it was pretty busy.  Lots of people who just wander aimlessly and then change their mind and turn around on the spot.  I nearly lost a cup of coffee over my new tshirt.  We all had a few of our favourites to try and it was pretty tasty.


Its pretty breezy on the boat  which probably makes it seem cooler than it is.  We sat out on the balcony for a bit just enjoying the ocean and the seabreeze.


Mid-morning we went downstairs and tried our luck at a bit of trivia.  The theme was “slogans’ and I have to say we did pretty good.  We answered 14 out of 15 correctly but there were a few that got 15/15.  Was a bit of a laugh so a good way to spend an hour.  We also got to have a bit of a look at the front part of the ship and also registered Nate for the teens club – not that he will likely use it.


Lunchtime was an opportunity to try something new.  Nate tried another guys burger – the same type we had yesterday so I assume it is a quality control exercise to check consistency.  Tony and I tried tacos from the Blue Iguana and they were pretty nice too.  They make their tostadas on site which means they’re very fresh.


After lunch it was snooze time so we all had a bit of a nap.  Time seems to go so quickly – before we knew it we were dressing for dinner.  Yesterday while waiting to go in we listened to a bit of music from the Electric Waves Violin trio.  It was excellent so tonight we went to listen to them for the 30 mins pre dinner.  They’re very cool – they play modern songs on the violin.


Dinner theme tonight was Island Night – the boys wore Hawaiian shirts for a bit of fun.  The food was again delicious and this time very tropical food.  Tony used one of the vouchers for lobster tail which he enjoyed immensely.


Straight after dinner we went to the theatre to watch the Getaway Island show.  It was pretty poxy but a bit of a sing along too.  We were back in the cabin by 930 so at least we kept ourselves awake a little longer than day 1.The boat sways a little, but Im surprised how well I feel really.  Nate is much better today which is good.  Were quite well stocked on anti sea sickness medication should we need it though.
