Cruise Day 2 – At Sea

This morning was our first at Sea day. I woke up at the early hour of 8:00 am and quickly made way to the laundry room. I was running out of clean clothes. Two and half hours and 4 loads later, I was done, and everything was clean!! The laundry facilities were good here, except that I could only do two loads at a time as someone else beat me to the other 3 washers.

After laundry I woke up Kirstyn, she finally got to sleep in, and we explored the ship some more. We headed up to deck 9 to get some food. On the way we stumbled on the Art Auction. The prices were a little out of my range, as they had original Picassos and Dali’s. We watched and had fun, then headed to Deck 9. By this time it was lunch, and we enjoyed some great pizza! Kirstyn then tried out the Quarter Master Arcade, we watched some of the deck show, had our picture taken with Donald Duck and then I was ready for my Hot Stone Massage. Jaklyn from Buffalo area was my masseuse. It was really quite nice, and something I will have to look into further when we get home.

It was now time for the Golden Mickey’s show. This show was like an Oscar party. We entered on the Red Carpet, with cameras flashing, and Rona Rivers interviewing important guests. The show itself was great. We had guest appearances by Snow White, Tarzan, Cruella Deville, Simba, Turk, and of course Mickey Mouse himself. After the show, we had to quickly dress for dinner as it was the formal night. Everyone was in there finest! The dress ranged from tuxes and evening gowns to jean skirts and Mickey Mouse t-shirts. The latter was from a poor couple who lost their luggage! For dinner, I had Chicken Samosa’s, Watermelon Mint soup, Chicken wrapped in Ham and Chocolate Cake. Kirstyn wasn’t as adventurous, but her Strawberry Sundae for dessert looked really good. After dinner we stopped at shutters to look at the photos, then made it back to the room. The day doesn’t sound like much, but it sure whipped by.

Today we are in Palermo. We have a tour at 12:45. I’m letting Kirstyn sleep in a little, then it is off to breakfast. More later!

PS ... Having problems posting photo! Will try later!
