Cruise Journal - Day 5 - at Sea - 6/17/10

Today's Compass:
Cruise Compass day 5

I actually slept in until 8 am today!!!!  (finally)   Larry wanted to do breakfast in the main dining room, so that's what we did.  They put us at a table w/ a bunch of other people.  Menu was limited and we weren't very impressed, so we'll go back to the WJ tomorrow.

After breakfast, L went back to his cabin and T & I went to the library on deck 9 to do crossword and Sudoku puzzles and to take a stab at the daily trivia.  While we were there, the Captain and other upper crew members were having a Q&A session in the Centrum on the main floor, so we listened a while.  It sounded interesting, but we didn't pay too much attention. 

Then we watched a cake decorating demonstration.

They were adding additional liquor to the cake and it looked really good.  I'm hoping  the recipe is in the cookbook I bought (Black Forest Cake).  We were supposed to meet L, so we couldn't hang around until it was over.  They had some for everyone to try, but we left before then.

Since it was a sea day, the casino was open early, so that's where T & L were.  I went up to deck 11 and found somewhere to sit, read and get some sun.  It was around the corner from the pool where they were having a "Sexy Legs" Contest.  I couldn't see it, but could hear it and it sounded like fun.  Later in the afternoon I found Todd (after another shower) and he said he wanted to try Bingo.  We had a coupon for a free T-Shirt, so I was game.  Good thing I went because I won $200!!!!  YAY!  Then it was time for supper.

Tonight we had Ceasar Salad, and I picked French Onion Soup and Spinach Dip - both were great.  I had Grilled NY Strip with green beans and mashed potatoes - excellent!  After the entrees were served, the waiters danced for us and this time I had my camera!!!! (Luke warned us last night to make sure we brought them.)

After all the fun and before dessert, I snapped a picture of Brad, Larry and Todd.

And since I had my camera, I decided to take pictures of the desserts.

We all admired the painting at the end of the dining room.

The sheets even had the RC logo on them.

After supper I thought about going to the show ( "It's All About the Music" by Domenick Allen), but decided not to.  Todd went to the casino (surprise!) and I headed back to the cabin.  Flipped through the channels and found RCTV (Royal Caribbean TV) was showing a tour of the bridge, Chef interview and Galley tour).

Hope you are enjoying my posts!  Tomorrow is Dominica and I have TONS of pictures.  That night is also the last formal night for dinner - we're supposed to have Lobster and Prime Rib!
