Day 2 of Cruise - At Sea
|
Each day started with breakfast or brunch in the Windjammer.
On this, our first day at sea, Lesley had made an appointment with the salon
to get her hair cut and I signed up for an eye treatment, hand and foot massage.
As you'll see in upcoming photos, the eye treatment was obviously unsuccessful.
I was able to get a replacement for my $3.00 Aqua Net hair spray for a chic
fee of $22.00. That's U.S.! All money on the ship was in U.S. dollars.
We explored the ship's décor on our way to losing our bingo games and
donating some quarters in the casino. When we returned to our room, we
noticed that we had, indeed, been reassigned to a late dining time and new
table.
I loved the décor, especially the elephants.
At some point Lesley heard the call of the casino again and took advantage of
their "open" time while we were at sea. When she came back to the room with a
smile on her face, she announced she had won $300.00 on the quarter slots.
People I cruise with win money! Wish it would rub off on me.
Dinner was the first dress up night (or not being so casual, formal night), so
at least we were given the opportunity
to make a good first impression to our new dining companions. They had all met
the evening before while we were still on the early dining schedule. But they
welcomed us and we gradually got to know them.
Here are our dinner companions: Jan and Mike from England, Rose and Bob from
New Jersey, and sisters Julie and Laura from Masachusetts.
On our way to the dining room, we stopped at one of the many portrait "opportunities"
and had our photos taken on the stairway. The first photo op as we boarded
the ship had laughable results.
