We have been cruising six days and the four of us finally started relaxing. After the whirlwind trip in Washington State, we all needed some down time but there was always so much fun stuff to do. Day six we finally chilled out. We did our usual gym in the morning then headed up to the Windjammer for breakfast. I’ve decided I need to eat a little healthier because my clothes are getting tight.
I can tell we are traveling south. Everyday the temperature has risen by a few degrees even when the sun is hidden behind the clouds. We’ve been enjoying the hot tubs but I heard the pools were quite chilly.
Traveling on a cruise ship is very interesting. We’ve met people from all over the United States, Canadians, Australians, Japanese, Chinese and several Europeans. I’m not much into karaoke but there are lots of karaoke contests as well as trivia contests going on around the ship. Linda and I signed up for several seminars, all different names, but they were the same seminar. Sort of like an infomercial on steroids.
Today Linda and I went to a stretch and release class. That was actually very good with the exception that they tried to sell us something at the end. If I have any objection about cruising, it’s the constant selling of services, goods or whatever. I must turn down the punch card for alcoholic drinks at least three times a day.
Dinner tonight was excellent. I keep meaning to take a picture of the escargot but my desire to eat it overrides my desire to photograph it. Maybe tomorrow!
The ship is quite stunning with its glass, chrome and gold decor. The workers are continually cleaning, shining and taking excellent care of the ship, while other employees work hard to please the guests.
Tomorrow we land in Honolulu. We plan to go to the Pearl Harbor Museum and out to the Arizona. It should be an interesting and informative day.
