The long rollers are still with us. When we first woke up it was more cloudy than not, but the skies began to clear and became partly sunny. We’ve settled into our sea days routine of a leisurely breakfast followed by trivia with our team of Virginians and Scots. We haven’t won yet, but we have fun nonetheless. Today’s winning team received fridge magnets. We weren’t really heartbroken that we didn’t get them.
At noon we went to the traditional dining room for our group’s luncheon. 205 people had signed up but only 125 came. It was too bad because the staff had set tables for that many people. Nevertheless it was a pretty good turnout and we had a lovely time chatting with old and new friends.
Since there’s not a lot to talk about in terms of things going on, I shall tell you more about our ship. It’s more than 900 feet long and weighs (in gross tonnage) 113,561 tons. It carries approximately 3400 passengers and a crew of close to 1500. There are three main dining rooms, a buffet restaurant and two alternative dining venues. There are numerous lounges, a theater, a library and even a wedding chapel. There is no lack of activity most any time of the day or night. People who worry about being bored with multiple sea days needn’t do so. The problem isn’t finding something to do, it’s deciding which things to choose since you can’t possibly do them all.
