Only Sea Day...thank goodness!

This ship carries more than 5000 people. Today was the day that we found out why that doesn't work. On a day when most of the passengers are off of the ship for at least part of the day, there is plenty of opportunity to find a place wherever you wish to be.  However when everyone is on at the same time...it is a madhouse!  Noisy, many venues including the lunch buffet inaccessible, no pool chairs anywhere, etc.  

We actually slept til 10 AM...a major feat.  Max and Nick slept til about 1 PM!  Much of the day was spent trying to find a chair by a pool , in the solarium, on the deck overlooking the pool or just in a quiet corner.  No such luck.  The guys enjoyed ping pong, basketball, and putt putt.

  I read in our cabin for awhile.  Even finding lunch was difficult.  The line to the buffet was the width of the ship and moved slowly.  The boys grabbed 'stuff' at several venues - hot dogs, pizza, buffet in the sports area. I skipped lunch ( no loss....my calorie count is not going to be a topic of the blog :)).  

We did have an enjoyable dinner in our assigned My Time Dining restaurant ( American Icon).  Our server loves the boys - she is a kind, chatty Jamaican lady and the boys enjoy her. Max gets his shrimp cocktail every night and she likes to call the boys by name remembering thei likes.  

We all had Lasagna, yum!  Desserts follow...
