For most people, sea day’s are for sleeping in. But I’m not like most people. I’m always up early on vacation. I want to be able to take in every minute of my cruise. Unfortunately for my husband, he usually wakes up not long after I do. Maybe because I make noise when I go out onto the balcony. But where else can I get a gorgeous view to start my morning? Besides, is there really anything better than morning coffee on the balcony on a beautiful morning?
Sea day’s also mean Sea Day Brunch! This is definitely another thing we truly enjoy to do on a cruise. The menu may be somewhat limited, but we tend to always order the same thing. I always have the steak and eggs and Jim always orders the Eggs Benedict. What can I say… sometimes we are not very adventurous when it comes to food.
When we went on this cruise, Jim and I both smoked. At this time, Carnival no longer allowed their guests to smoke on their balcony’s. Since out stateroom was on the Lido deck, we did not have far to go to get to a smoking area. We met some very nice people there. And Fernando made a friend!!!
In the distance, you could see rain. Luckily, on a cruise, rain typically does not last very long. At least it hasn’t on any of the cruises I have been on.
We decided to go hang out in our stateroom and try to figure out what we wanted to do with our day. One of my favorite things to do is to people watch. But in our stateroom, the only one to watch was my son.
Before long, it was time to get ready for cruise elegant night. This is the only time we ever get dressed up so I like to take advantage of it. But first, I had to enjoy the sunset from out balcony. Sunsets are always so beautiful as are the sunrises.
On our way to dinner, we stopped to have some pictures taken. Pictures were also taken in the dining room. Wine and waiter entertainment always makes for a great dinner experience.
After dinner, we returned to our stateroom to change clothes. And to try to decide how we want to spend the rest of the night.
We decided to play some mini golf which was so much fun. We truly enjoy spending our evenings on the open decks.
Installment #5 is our adventure in Progreso.
