After a good nights sleep on the gently bobbing sea we woke this morning feeling refreshed. Early morning trivia called and despite a brave showing we were defeated by a team who had travelled on the previous cruise. There was a little controversy over which countries make up Scandinavia but this was quickly resolved. Sometimes trivia can be a messy business!!
The weather was superb with beautiful sunshine and a clear sky. This inevitably lead to the sunbeds around the pool being crowded but there was plenty of spaces around the ship to lay and read while taking in the sunshine. In between times we walked around the ship slowly getting our bearings and taking in the sights such as the beautiful atrium area.
We took lunch in the main dining room and shared a table with two American couples from Miami and Michigan respectively. I was always taught that politics is a subject best avoided in these situations but obviously that is not the same in the USA, or at least not with these couples. The one thing you can say about Donald Trump is that he provokes a lot of discussion and even though both families were Republicans they had radically different impressions about their Presidential front-runner. At one stage I thought the discussion would end in blows not too dissimlar to a Donald Trump rally.A throughly entertaining meal.
After lunch we attended a steel band workshop and even though we didn’t get the chance to play ourselves it was very enjoyable. A distinctly Caribbean entertainment.
I spoke yesterday about the Skywalk and here is a view of it from our stateroom balcony.
Tomorrow is another sea day.
