Sea day today. The ocean has calmed and the sun is shining. Hung out on deck and chatted with folks. Had a cabin crawl with the Cruise Critic group this afternoon—go to visit everyone's cabins so people can see what other types of cabins are available and which cabins might have better balconies. It was the first time I'd seen an inside cabin. Glad I saw it—I'd get claustrophobia in one!
Another good dinner with our crazy tablemates—tonight we all got rubber duckies which can actually squirt water—well you can see that was bound to and did lead to mischief! I think our waiter thinks we're all crazy. He has no sense of humor.
Carolyn and I went to the show. It was a comedian who was supposed to be good. He was funny, but he went on too long. About half an hour would have been enough.
Tuesday, December 6
Aruba today. Not much in this port. Beth didn't even bother to get off. I went in search of some Aruba Aloe products. Was also looking for some cheap Christmas décor. Carolyn had hung some miniature strings of garland from her mirror and it looked very festive. Found a supermercado, but no Christmas stuff. Maybe I'll find some in another port.
Came back to the ship and walked around and took pictures of all the Christmas decorations and the parts of the ship that will disappear when they next send her to drydock—we have a lost views thread going on Cruise Critic.
For those of you who sailed with us last year, Lurch, our assistant waiter, has been working the lido. He remembered us and always makes it a point to come over and talk a bit—he is pretty shy and seems to be glad of some people he knows to talk to.
The ship is quite peaceful when most people are in port—sat out by the pool and read for a while.
Had another delightful dinner with our tablemates—no surprise creatures tonight.
