How To Stay Healthy on a Cruise

When you think of cruises you think food.  From the buffet to the main dining room to all the specialty dining venues if you choose to pay more, eating can become a full time habit.  So after three days of indulging in three meals a day, we decided to forego our midday meal.

We began the day with morning coffee delivered to our cabin and a banana for some energy.  Then we headed to the gym for a morning workout.  I put a little more energy into today’s workout, finally getting into the groove.  The gym is a lovely place on the bow of the boat.  It’s wonderful to workout and look out across the vast sea.

We had breakfast at the Windjammer where I had a fresh made omelet, English muffin and some fruit.  Our table was set against the backdrop of the dark blue ocean waters, where the sun filtered in through the panoramic windows.

In the early afternoon I took a nap.  I never usually take naps but I am learning how to take life a little easier.  Therefore a nap!  We met up with Linda and Stan for a 4:00 ice skating show that was really quite good.  The performers were all top quality skaters and someone told me that Royal Caribbean hires Olympic skaters.

Our dinner was excellent.  I had escargot again and a Thai shrimp dish.  It was delicious.  We ended the evening with a late night show.  It was a really funny comedian named Chris Bliss, who had us all laughing.  It’s been a fun day and I didn’t overindulge in food, worked out at the gym and had over 10,000 steps for the day.

In 2015, I retired and set out to do as much traveling as I could. I started the blog on our first, month-long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and me on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity for it. So here we are. I invite you to join the fouramigos blog on our next destination.
