Sea days are fun and relaxing.
Honestly, I love waking up to this view. It never gets old and definitely does not last long enough, especially on a 5-day cruise.
The first thing I did this morning was to book a pedicure in the Spa. I scheduled it for 2:45 as I wanted to make sure I would have plenty of time to get ready for cruise elegant night.
We started our day with Brunch in the Blush dining room. The chandeliers are amazing.
Once we were seated, we were quickly served our coffee and I ordered a Mimosa. We also placed our food orders. I had steak and effs and Jim and a Frittata.
Once we finished breakfast, we went to Pixels to get our cruise pin then made our way to the Lido Marketplace.
Jim decided that he might need a second breakfast so he grabbed an Eggs Benedict and I grabbed some pastries. We both had some more coffee.
After we finished our second breakfast, we went to the room to rest and try to figure out how we wanted to spend our day. Upon arrival we found our towel animal for today!!! So cute.
We decided to walk around and do some more shopping, especially since I had a coupon for a bracelet in the Fun Shop!!!!
We went to Guy’s burgers to grab some lunch and brought the tasty burgers to our stateroom. Just as we were sitting down to eat there was a knock on our door. I knew it wasn’t our liquor delivery as it had already been delivered but had no clue what this was. And then Jim read the note. My good friend Leigh Ann had ordered room decorations and a birthday cake for me!!! I was speechless for some time. She is such a dear sweet friend. We were locker mates from middle school until we graduated high school and we have been friends ever since! With all the excitement, I did not take any pictures of our lunch but I did remember to make a note of what we had. Jim at a Pig Patty and fries while I had the Plain Jane and fries. The burgers are just so good!!!! As a side note, the cake said it was vanilla but when we cut into it, it was obviously strawberry and VERY GOOD!!!
After the shock of the surprise somewhat wore off, it was time for me to go to the spa for my pedicure. I will say I’m glad they view while waiting was amazing as I think they forgot about me for almost 30 minutes.
Luckily, someone did finally come get me and the view from the pedicure chair was amazing.
Unfortunately, since my pedicure was late starting, I was later than I anticipated getting ready for dinner. Luckily, all I really needed to do was to freshen up and change clothes.
On our way to the Sapphire dining room, we stopped to take some cruise elegant night pictures. This was the only one we really liked.
Then it was on to dinner. This would be our first time this cruise to eat in the main dining room. Since we were able to check in on the HUB app, we knew we would not have a long wait. And the wait truly was under 10 minutes.
We were seated at a table for two and we found the wait staff to be very attentive. Jim ordered a Spicy Chipotle Martini and I ordered a Bellini to start with. For dinner, Jim had the port tart, prime rib, and creme brulee for dessert. I had a Ceasar salad, prime rib, and warm chocolate melting cake for dessert.
After we finished eating and watching the wait staff dance, we made our way to our stateroom to change clothes and ended up staying in our stateroom the remainder of the night.
Up next is our time in Cozumel!
