Today was a sea day and time for some relaxation. We lost an hour of sleep over night so we decided to have room service for breakfast. When they delivered the breakfast, the woman delivering it told us her name and said she was our room service attendant. She then began to set everything up. She put a table cloth on the table and then took everything off the tray and set it all up on the table for us. This is the first time anything like that has ever been done for us. It was a very nice touch.
They had a port lecture this morning on Busan, South Korea and Nagasaki, Japan that I decided to go to. It was very informative. She even showed us pictures on how we are supposed to use these squat potties that they have in Asia. I sure hope I don't have to try it anytime soon! We have ship excursions in each one of these ports so we won't have to be finding our way around either one of these ports on our own, However she did explain things in detail which would make it easier to do on our own if we so chose to do so.
I then visited the casino for a bit and deposited some of my money. They did have Keno (my game of choice) but they were 25 cent machines and they didn't have 4 card keno. They also will let you play using your room key which means I don't have to carry money with me. Of course that could get very dangerous. We were in the casino while Pat was at an enrichment lecture that we didn't want to go to. Once that was out we were going to lunch.
Lunch today was in one of the dining rooms that advertised they had British Pub Style food. I opted for the fish and chips and they were good. However, I think there was something going on with the server. He seemed to have a real attitude problem. Things had gotten better by the time the meal was over but it wasn't too pleasant at the beginning of the meal.
It was time to go back to the room and work on pictures. I had been putting that off until I had access to Facebook. I did the ones on the one memory card that I had filled up but didn't do the ones on the memory card that is still in the camera. That will come later.
One of the suite amenities is we can order snacks each day. We ordered chocolate covered strawberries. They delivered them to us and they were good. There were only 4 but that was plenty. Then there was another knock at the door and they were delivering our corsages for formal night which is tonight. Soon after that there was another knock and they were delivering chocolate covered strawberries. Mary P told them they had already been delivered to us and he told us to enjoy them. The Rosga's had not filled out their order so we shard with them and they ate the 2nd order we got.
It was time for dinner. It seems all we do it eat. The first night on the ship Suite passengers can eat at Sabitini's Restaurant free. When we called to get reservations once we got on the ship all they had available was 9:00 pm. We told them that was too late. They then told us we could eat at the Steakhouse free the following night if we would like to. We opted for that so that was where we were going. I figured it was like the Pinnacle Grill on Holland America. Boy was I wrong. It was better. I got a filet and it had to have been one of the best steaks I had ever put in my mouth. It came with a baked potato, grilled tomato, grilled mushrooms, and creamed spinach. I also ordered some corn casserole which was enough for Mary P and I to share. The waiters were attentive, funny and talented. They even sang for us. For dessert everyone got creme brûlée except for me. I got chocolate pecan pie. It was good but probably not as good as the creme brûlée.
After dinner we walked around the ship to see things we hadn't seen before. We found the buffet, 2 pools, the pizza bar, hamburger bar, and the spa. Mary P and I didn't want to go to the show so we went to the casino for a bit. Mary P hit 6 out of 7 on keno and won about $90. I didn't do so good but she shard with me.
We went on back to the room and called it a night.
