This morning we once again started with room service for breakfast. We received all of the food we ordered today but only 1 cereal spoon for the 2 of us so Mary P used her coffee spoon to eat her cereal.
We went to the spa Hydrotherapy pool again this morning. We found if we get there when they open -- 8:00 am -- there isn't anyone else there (except for the Rosga's). We get to watch Pat do her water aerobics. Pat is always on the go and unable to sit still for more than a few minutes.
My kids (Krista, Chase & Lauren) gave me some shipboard credit for my birthday so I made an appointment to have a facial this morning. It was so relaxing. In fact I fell asleep and woke myself up snoring while she was giving me the facial. At the end of the facial she had a whole line of products that would make my skin so much better if I would just use them. I think they only cost about $1,000 or something. I thanked her for sharing what products I needed, but politely told her I wouldn't be purchasing any products. In the past they usually told you that your skin would turn green or something trying to talk you into buying the products but she didn't push them which I really appreciated.
We went to watch "Cooking with the Cruise Director" in the Culinary Arts Center. These cooking shows are always so funny. They had the chef from the ship making a Black Forest Cake with the Cruise Director by his side making one also. I know I wouldn't eat anything the Cruise Director made! They did bring out samples at the end of the show and it was pretty good. After eating our cake, it was time for lunch so we went down to the Vista Dining Room and got in line and waited until they opened the doors. Service was really slow today but the food was good.
After lunch we made our daily donation to the casino and were going to go to the Cupcake Tea but decided we weren't really in the mood or hungry so we went up to the Crow's Nest to try and find seats for bingo which was to be held in another hour. People go up there and camp out in the recliners to read but usually once bingo starts they leave so we wanted to be there ready to grab our chairs when they were available. While waiting, they had a jewelry fashion show that we watched. This jewelry was worth thousands of dollars and I really didn't like any of it. I think they said one necklace was valued at $68,000. I wouldn't have given them $68 for it. However, they did say that everything was 50% off today.
No luck at bingo today.
Formal night tonight -- ugh! I didn't wear my formal wear like I did the first formal night but I noticed a lot of people didn't dress up as much. In fact there were some men in the show in shorts.
The show tonight was a variety show with the stand-up comedian and the harpist. The comedian did about 25 minutes and then the harpist did about 25 minutes. I really thought the comedian was better tonight than he was the other night. We got to the showroom early and got a seat in the front row of the box seats on the side.
After the show we went to "Battle of the Sexes". It was pretty funny and the women won!
Well ya'll are having more fun than I am. Had gallbadder surgery Monday and trying to recuperate. Still have a hole in my stomach and pancreatis but hopefully that will get better. Repairing hole in abt a month. Kent and Vyxsin got eliminated on Amazing Race and Hope got fired on Apprentice. I don't watch either but I looked it up. Tell Dan and Mary hi for me. Hope all have a great time. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your surgery. We run into Dan all the time. I will tell him hi for you. Thanks for letting us know who got kicked off both of these. Keep us updated on all the reality shows. I don't know why they don't show them on the ship. Do you watch American Idol, Dancing with the Stars or Survivor?
