We were up early again today and after coffee on Lido Deck, we met the rest of our group for breakfast in the dining room. We like being waited on as opposed to the long buffet lines and I’ve gotten addicted to the smoked salmon, bagel and cream cheese they offer.
Nancy and I have been doing a lot of knitting this week and she’s also gone to a couple of Arts and Crafts classes so today I decided to join her.
Arts and Crafts Class - a needle point case for my sewing scissors
Today’s offering was a plastic needle point canvas holder for little folding sewing scissors – and it was free! Now that’s something you don’t always see on a cruise ship. Nancy and I have decided we could handle this job – hold crafts classes a couple of times a day in exchange for a cabin. Such a deal!
Burl and Ron were once again watching the golf pro give lessons so I went to the gym and tried to walk on the top deck but it was way too windy. I did run into Barb laying in the sun so joined her for an hour or so before lunch.
About 1:00 we made an emergency stop in Cabo San Lucas to let a passenger off – apparently someone had a medical emergency that couldn’t wait for a couple of days but we were in and out of the port in less than 30 minutes. Too bad it wasn’t a scheduled stop as I’ve heard it’s a great place to visit.
The rest of the day was generally pretty lazy – after lunch Burl and I laid in the sun. Then we all met for Mexican Train and of course, I had to have my late afternoon sushi and lose my daily $5 in the casino!
Tonight was our second formal night but as we quickly learned, even though the cruise line requests that men wear a tux or at least a suit and tie, not all the passengers pay attention to that rule. So tonight Burl did put on a sport coat but paired it with a casual shirt and no tie. The dress code is relaxing more every day we’re gone!
The entertainment tonight was a variety show of “The Big Easy – a Trip to New Orleans” and it was first rate with incredible costumes and music. It seems like every show we see becomes our favorite but I really think this one was #1 with us all.
One more day before reality sets in on us!
