I woke up at 8 – early for me and Michael was already out having (first) breakfast at the Blue Lagoon, one of the 24-hour restaurants. I just sat on the balcony for a while, writing this, taking pictures.
The first are of the open sea and a freighter out in the distance.
Tom who finally got up and Michael who was napping again. It’s a tough life!
Eventually, everyone was up and we set out for breakfast.
Since this was an At Sea day, we had time to roam around the ship taking pictures, seeing what was where.
The first place we looked for was the Java Cafe on deck 7. I had thought it would be a good place to get, um, coffee but it was mostly coffee drinks, with alcohol. They had some interesting pastries and it was a good place to sit while waiting for other things to happen. It was part of the Chrystal Atrium, named for the ceiling, I guess.
These pictures don’t do the ceiling justice – looks like stalactites of many colors hanging down.
The glass near the top is the wall to Tango’s, the restaurant where we had dinner last night.
We discovered The Great Outdoors deck 12 aft (at the back) - a place we would end up having lots of meals and snacks.
The Garden Cafe had 2 ice cream dispensers and when we cut through there (or made an excuse to go there!) we always got a cone.
Off to the Galleria for a bit of shopping. As usual, Tom got T-shirts and stuff. 
I got a coffee mug to leave on a shelf with instructions for whoever got up first and went out – bring me back coffee! It held 2.5 times as much coffee as the ship’s standard cups.
A bit more exploring and trying out the golf area:
Some more “setting sun” pictures:
After a nap, since this was “Dress Up or Not” night, we got dressed up a little and went to Azura, the restaurant with the most stringent dress code.
The show for the night was “Band on the Run” starring the Jean Ann Ryan Company. They are going to do two more shows, as well. This one was a tribute/flashback to the 1970’s. The very talented company featured a dancer who was truly double jointed and very gymnastic as well as a pair of ballroom dancers, acrobats, singers and dancers. Music was provided by the Jewel Showband.
Back in our cabin, we find out first towel animal. Then, off to bed. We have an early start in Roatán, Honduras, Bay Islands, Central America.
