Love the breakfast! A mixture of western style (eggs and bacon), plus air-dried meats, cheeses, fruits and pastries. We left the hotel around 11:00 a.m., grabbed a taxi and were on the boat by 11:30 a.m. We ate lunch at the Windjammer Café (Deck 11) and explored the ship a bit before checking into our stateroom at 1:00 p.m. After a quick tour of the spa, Sonya made a 5:00 p.m. appointment for a manicure. I went for a 5K run (treadmill of course) and then barely made it to the muster drill. While Sonya was getting her nails done, I met a Puerto Rican couple, John and Annette, from Miami. John is a TSA customs agent and Annette is an Industrial Engineer who works for American Express. They have a three-year-old son, John-Paul, and are considering adoption. I love it when God causes our paths to cross with peeps like John and Annette.
Dinner was great! We had the early seating (6:30 p.m.) and enjoyed our table-for-two next to a young Chinese couple who are celebrating their first anniversary. Their names were Tiffany and Fango. I had an amazing appetizer of smoked fish spread and garlic bread. Wow! Sonya had a shrimp cocktail. Our main courses were grilled Salmon (Sonya) and Mojo style grilled pork chop with sweet potatoes (Jeff). And of course, Crème Brule for dessert (Jeff) and sugar-free strawberry shortcake (Sonya).
After dinner, we enjoyed a classic rock band at the Olive & Twist Lounge - if you want to call a bass player with a thick German accent trying to sing, “I Swear”, classic rock. It sounded like Scorpions gone country.
