Today was a sea day and there were a lot of things going on. We decided to start the day out eating breakfast at Johnny Rockets. It was free for breakfast and pretty good. They only had hot dishes which was a change for me since I always like to start out the day with cereal and fruit. I had an omelet and it was really good but really too much food.
We went walking around the pools to see what was going on since we hadn't been on that level before. It was obvious that some people don't own mirrors. We saw something interesting -- a rather large woman wearing a thong (dental floss). She was laying on her stomach in the water (shallow) and it appeared that she didn't have a top on but surely she did. We didn't stick around to see. There are a LOT of foreign people on this cruise so they do things a lot differently than we do as far as dressing for the pool.
We went to an activity that was planned for the Crown and Anchor Society. It was held at the Aqua Theatre and they had some of the acts back that had been there during the nightly show. It was good to see them in the daylight. We also got to meet the Captain and Hotel Manager as well as others. I had never been to one of these events before but I really enjoyed it. After it was over, they invited everyone to come down to the stage and take a look around. Before going down there I saw George Rice walking down there. I said that Bennye had to be close behind and she was. I was able to meet up with them and talk for a while. I knew they were on this cruise but hadn't been able to find them. For those of you that don't know George and Bennye, they go to my church and were very good friends with my Mother.
After talking with the George and Bennye, I invited them up to my cabin to show them where we were staying and we visited some more. I really enjoyed catching up with them.
They were having a talk on port shopping so we went down to listen to that to see if they were going to tell us anything we needed to know. It was kind of boring so I found the Rosgas down towards the front and went and got them and told them we had another meeting to go to so we all got up and left.
We went to the talk by the Future Cruise Consultant. It was very interesting to see all the ships that Royal Caribbean have and to see where all they sail. I really didn't realize that they went as many places as they do. They are really changing things up. There will be a ship coming to Galveston and it will be there year round instead of just seasonal. We are on the Allure and they are going to be building another one just like it. I think they said it will be out in 2015 or 2016. They also are coming out with a smaller ship at the end of 2014 -- Quantum of the Seas. It will be ported out of Bayonne, New Jersey going to the Caribbean.
By the time this lecture was over, it was getting late. Poor Terry thought we had missed lunch. Not to worry, there was no way we would skip a meal. We went to the Hot Dog place to try it out. It was just ok. I am in no hurry to go back.
Mary P and I went and played Bingo but had no luck but had fun. As soon as we finished Bingo, it was just about time to eat dinner.
When we got to dinner we told our waiter we were in a hurry because we had a 7:30 show. They sped everything up. We were out of there in less than an hour. We saw an act at the Comedy Cub. We enjoyed it. They warned us it was for audiences over 18 years old. I was afraid it was going to be to risqué but it wasn't at all. We all agreed that we had seen one of the comedians before but not sure which ship we saw him on but his routine was the same as before with very little changes.
After the show we stopped in the casino for a short time before calling it a night. We have a full day tomorrow. We will be in St Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. That will be nice so we can get phone service and see what has been going on.
