Day 19 - At Sea

Well, today started sooner than expected with the Hazmat Team showing up about 2:40AM. Barb didn't take her Dramamine in time and consequently was a little seasick. After two calls she convinced the medical staff it wasn't Norovirus and once everything was tidied up we slept till 8:30.

Today was to be a housekeeping day, which meant up at 5:30 and off to the laundromat. Didn't happen. By the time we got up to the Horizon Court it had started to empty out and we were able to get seated by a window. Getting a window table is a real competitive sport at the Court and being among the youngest on the ship gives us a real advantage. Of course we are no competition for the many scooters on board.

On the way back down to our cabin we stopped by the laundromat and spied an empty washing machine. That being a real prize this time of day we raced back to get our laundry bag and soap pod. Luckily the machine was still available. Unluckily the coin dispenser was empty. To run the washer and dryer you need special coins that you get from a coin dispenser using your cruise card the cost of said coins ending up on your account. So while Barb stood guard over the washer I went in search of coins. Five decks later I scored. By 11:00 laundry was done and put away, our cabin steward had worked his magic and we were ready to settle into another lazy day.

Barb didn't feel much like having lunch, so I ordered a sandwich in and then it was nap time. I'm not sure how we are going to handle this nap business once we get home.

For the time being the ocean has calmed down. No whitecaps and the swells we had yesterday and last night are almost nonexistent.

Got a little bad news on tomorrow's excursion. I thought Bloody Mary's meant we would have a Bloody Mary, but no. Seems like Bloody Mary's is a well known bar where we can purchase a Bloody Mary. Oh well.

Barb was feeling better so we had a little dinner at the Horizon Court and then back to the cabin for Dramamine. Looking forward to Bora Bora tomorrow.

Mr. C how about those Royals!
