Ummmm. We need to
get our bodies acclimated. We got up at
7:30 body time, but the clock said 9:30.
Will miss our tours if we don’t make some adjustments.
Went up and ate breakfast in the Horizon Court…that place is
huge with all kinds of nooks and crannies full of food. We just opt for the ole bacon and eggs…very
good. Came back to room and got our
Kindles, phones loaded up with music and our ear buds and went in search of a
quiet place to read…well, there’s really no such thing when all 3259 people
(plus over 1000 crew) are inside. But
we found Club 6 –pretty full of people—but we found a corner on a bench where
we sat down w/o disturbing anybody. Had
a footstool (my legs NEVER are long enough to be comfortable on the floor) and
proceeded to read and listen to music in our own little world.
Several hours later, we are still astonished at what
happened ..a lady came up, put her
hands on our footstool and said there weren’t enough chairs for them and could
she have the footstool…just took it right out from under our feet. Could not and still not believe it. I would NEVER, EVER do something like that.
We left and found a place on an aft deck without too much
wind and read for a while. Captain says
we are having “rahtha heavy seas” with swells coming from two different
directions. And are about 900 miles
west of the Azores. Ship is still
pretty steady, but there are times, I hold on to a railing when I walk. And we feel a thud or two every so
often. Cloudy, hazy, not too cool—in
the 70’s. He says more of the same for
the next several days. 
We found a quiet ?? spot to sit and read…in the Piazza, so
there was always something going on on the deck below…music of all sorts…dance
lessons…but we put our buds in and were fine.
Ronnie went to the treadmills for a while, but I enjoyed my corner.
Had a Captain’s Circle Welcome just before dinner, so we
attended that ….just a short show…dinner was okay…steak was a bit tough. This particular dining room is for
traditional diners (those who come at a set time every night… same table..and
then, once they are seated, open for Anytime Dining. For the last three nights, there’s been someone sitting there,
arriving shortly after we order. Twice,
it was a German couple…speaking in German and once was, I think, an American
couple….
We are still enjoying our other next-door table mates. Very congenial. I really hope they can get to stay in the US….they really want
to, but he said they’ve just spent too
much money and if this last effort doesn’t work, they’ll go back to
Australia. So sad and unfair….
They were going to have a C & W band in the Piazza
tonight after dinner, so we had plans to do some dancing, but it was ALL line
dancing with the cruise staff….got in one dance afterwards and ….their C &
W was not what we were looking for!
That, so far, is the only dancing venue on the ship that we can
find….very disappointed.
Later, went to a show…comedian who was good..nothing else
appealed to us so we came to the room and read…Time had changed again so we’re
now running 3 hours later than home.
We’ve been out of satellite range, so we’ve had no internet
or news…so not aware of much that’s going on.
Can’t do anything about it anyway. Probably won't post again until we are on land on Wednesday....days are all about the same, anyway.
