The first morning on the ship, we had ordered coffee from room service the night before to be delivered between 7:30 and 8 (foolishly believing that we would sleep past 8 the first morning on a cruise ship). Predictably, we awoke around 7, so I telephoned room service to deliver coffee early and asked them to cancel the other coffee. We got our pot of coffee delivered very quickly and had just settled down to drink our first cup when a knock on the door told us that a second pot was being delivered. The room service waiter was not happy when I asked her to take back the second pot. Since that day, we have instead taken turns going down to the Café Promenade on Deck 5 to bring coffee up. That way we can do it whenever we awaken.
Our days on the ship have become very calm and rhythmic. After a cup of coffee we shower, and then we have typically gone to Mass. After that, we will grab some breakfast (perhaps a large breakfast or perhaps just a sweet roll). The first couple of days when it was nice outside we sat by the pool and read. Once we got out into the Atlantic, it has been a bit cooler so we read inside our cabin or in the library. If we take a dance lesson, it is in the morning.
We eat a light lunch. Each day at sea we turn our clocks ahead at noon, so we might start eating lunch at 11:45 but it is close to 1:30 when we finish!
In the afternoon we have generally attended some sort of lecture or class. Bill has taken a Spanish class, and we have not missed ANY of the Hollywood gossip classes! Today we got a peek at which stars are still alive past the age of 80.
We dine at the early seating and then go to the 8:30 show at the La Scala Theater. We have seen a variety of things from Broadway reviews to ventriloquists and magicians. Quite good entertainment.
After the show we may come up to our room or wander around a bit before we turn in. While it sounds predictable, it is actually very relaxing and we are still having a great time.
The seas are much calmer today. I think we may have survived the worst of it all. Bill may go down to the cigar room later, as he has done a couple of times.
