Sunday - My initial reaction (besides laughing) was we must’ve made a wrong turn. Or this isn’t what we signed up for.
This is closer to what I was expecting. Being at the tail end of the season in the northern Atlantic, warm, sunny days were not expected. It looks colder that it actually is (75°F). The water really is a dark blue as in blue water sailing.
After breakfast, I relaxed a bit on deck 12 then did a four and a half laps which, according to Apple, was a mile. I guess I could’ve added deck 13 which would’ve added flight of stairs. But this is vacation.
It is possible to have a vacation even though one is retired. What changed is the definition of “work”.
I’m enjoying the quiet on this cruise. Especially the sea days. It doesn’t feel crowded unless you venture into the buffet during mealtime or the promenade when there is a give-away going on. On days like today, it’s nice enough outside to lie around and just relax. And have a Coke Zero. This is bottled in Italy. If I ordered a Diet Coke, it would be from the U.S. Interesting. The bartender said that Diet Coke is sold as Coke Light in Europe and the formula is different. Most passengers from the U.S. don’t like the change. And Coke Zero is much more popular.
On this cruise, no excursions are planned, which, for me, is nice. Granted, it’s nice to visit new places but after three weeks of that in Italy, Greece, and Spain, I need a vacation from our vacation…
