Slept in – and it felt GREAT! Missed breakfast, but we got up in time for the early lunch. After lunch it was up to the Eclipse room (at the bow of the ship) for the Ryder cup – Our golf competition that would last the whole cruise. I actually lucked out and won today’s putting challenge! I was the only person (in a group of about 20) to get a hole in one! Jackpot!!! Now, if I can just keep it up for the whole cruse to win. I rule! Steve also did a great job… tied with a few others for a birdie (2 putts). Following the golf event we met up at the martini lounge to play “battle of the sexes”… I know, I know – typical cruise ship organized events sound so cheesy… but it was very fun. Unfortunately for the ladies, we lost… However, I fell confident in my trivia knowledge, as I said several of the right answers, but the group decided to go with other choices. Why don’t people realize I’m always right? But I kept my mouth shut and smiled so I wasn’t THAT person. Steven then went to the casino & I followed and watched while he played some blackjack.The boat sways and rocks quite a bit, but I don’t feel too queasy or anything.. I believe I may try the gym out next. Hurray!
I don’t mean to brag – I don’t mean to boast, but I’m inter-continental when I eat French toast.
I did go to the gym. Awesome gym with tons of treadmills, elliptical, bikes and weight machines. Its at the very front of the boat with panoramic windows so you can see the whole North sea laid out right in front of you. I decided to do 3 miles at a steady increase from 6.0 – 7.0 miles/ hr. Good workout to squeeze in before our first formal night on board. Super excited to get dressed up!
Formal evening was nice. Steve and I looked spectacular. The food was great – we shared a bottle of wine and then went to the show… it was Broadway night. We then went to the casino and learned how to play craps. Off to bed for our first shore leave!
