Day 2 At Sea
We were at sea all this day and at 9am we joined a group to take a tour of the ship so that we might better know our way around. It is so big with so much to do!! We walked by all the areas available to the cruisers and we have a map of the ship but it is still confusing remembering where things are on this 15 deck ship. We plan to walk every day. Deck 6 is open all the way around except for a short distance at the front, aft, where the engine room is. It is covered by the deck above so we are outside but protected from the hot sun and somewhat from the wind created by the ships forward movement. We plan to walk there every morning. There is also a walking area all around deck 14 but too hot. At 1:00 today we are going to take our first ballroom dance lesson. Today one of the Activity Staff showed us the Maringa. There is a lesson each day we are at sea. I can’t say we learned it. The lesson was only45 minutes and we will go on to a different dance the next dance lesson. I guess we don’t expect to learn much but it is fun anyway. There are 5 areas aboard ship where we can dance. We hope to have the opportunity to dance every day. They have much activities to do: crafts, ceramics, card and board games, a library, internet connection at 50 cent per minute.
