After Palermo, we enjoyed two consecutive sea days. We establish a relaxing, healthy routine for sea days.
We typically sleep late, getting to the breakfast buffet around 09h30. We enjoy being able to sit outdoors on the ship's stern while we eat our breakfast. After breakfast we find somewhere to sit and relax while we take the opportunity to read a novel. We eventually wander back to the outdoor cafe for a salad for lunch. I relented and had an ice-cream each day. More relaxing is the order of the day after lunch. There is a wonderful spot above the outdoor buffet cafe where the ship has couches, it is wind protected and shady. This is a great place to read a book. If we need something to drink or snack, the buffet is only a short staircase away.
We managed to get to the fitness center both sea days. The brand new fitness centre is well equipped. The aerobic machines have built-in TV sets.
After working out, we return to our cabin, where canapes are delivered to our room. In anticipation, we took tea down from the cafe to drink with the canapes.
After a shower, we go up the the Sky Lounge on the 14th deck for a nightly Captain's Club Elite event. There are snacks and free drinks. Yippee! On the first night I had a whisky on the rocks and then a glass of wine to have with dinner. On the second night, I had a gin and tonic with the usual glass of wine. Nice.
After dinner we attended the entertainment events in the theatre. The first sea night was a formal night. The entertainment was a Broadway evening with the Celebrity singers and dancers. I am not normally a fan of these shows, but this one was superb. The second night had a comedian who did some balancing acts. he was very funny. We enjoyed both of these shows tremendously.
Sea days are fun!
