Fun Day at Sea

Today was spent completely at sea.  We woke up and went to a great breakfast buffet.  Again, I was surprised at how much food there was.  We even had ice cream after breakfast.  Might as well enjoy right?

We relaxed today, toured some more, relaxed, read books on our balcony while sunbathing, etc.  It was wonderful!

We went to lunch and once again had the most amazing food!  We then had these desserts – chocolate gateau (3 layers of amazing chocolate goodness) and a crème’ caramel. Yummy!

So, as you can imagine we decided we should walk for a while.  4 times around Deck 10 is a mile!  We stumbled upon the “Hairy Chest Competition” and I am sure some of those images will be burnt into my mind forever.  It was hilarious and I am convinced more than ever that white guys cant dance!! And yes, it really was an actual competition!

We went to the theater for the Murder Mystery that takes place throughout the week.  Then we got more ice cream and drinks.

We watched the excursions tour info on the TV which helped answer many questions like “what the heck is tendering” and “how the heck do we get off this ship tomorrow"”.

At night we had dinner at the Pizza Pirate (open 24/7) and then went to the family-friendly comedy show at Punchline Comedy.  The guy was pretty funny.  Then, we saw the big Vegas-style show here called “Jazz Hot” with singers, dancers, and a jazz band.  It was quite the production.  Then, we went to see another comedian at the comedy club and he was absolutely hilarious!  Topped off the evening at the dessert bar and ice cream.

When we got back to our room, the bed and been turned down and we had another adorable towel animal on our bed!

This trip has been so amazingly wonderful so far.  We have loved our time together.  It has been huge to get away from life and its daily stresses.  We stood in wonder today as we sailed for an entire day and only saw 1 boat.  Just miles and miles of beautiful ocean.  We wondered about the incredibly complex world below us and how blessed we feel to be here now and to get the chance to see what we have seen.  Tonight the sky was so clear that we could see all of the stars and the beautiful sliver of the moon that reflected on the water.  It is truly a beautiful world we live in.

Tomorrow we pull into Cozumel.  We have a very exciting day planned!
