Spring 2012 – Day 8

Well I awoke early because we had gone to bed early since I was under quarantine. I felt just fine so I stayed in bed until Barb woke up and then ordered room service for breakfast.

Barb ready to go into the port.

After breakfast, we watched people get off the ship and then Barb went off to do a little shopping in the small port area of tourist shops.

We had scheduled a great all-day trip to the resort of Paya Bay Resort on the other side of the island. They were to pick us up and for lunch cook us a fresh lobster for lunch. During the rest of the day we were gong to just be on their beach.

Of course all that had to be cancelled last night and I did find out today that they will refund our money.

We had a snack on our balcony

I watched a movie on television during the afternoon – talk about being bored!! But at least life goes on and hopefully we will be back on Roatan in the future.

After the call from the Doctor came at 4 pm checking on my status, we immediately left the ship so that I could see a little of the port. We were back on the ship at 4:45 pm as the ship sailed at 5. You can’t imagine the feeling of watching everyone leave the ship and not even be able to leave the room – but it was over.

As we are requested to play in the casino two hours a day at a minimum and we lost a day yesterday, we went to the casino after the ship sailed and Ed did well.



Ed's three petite filets

The show tonight was a singer by the name of Lindsay Hamilton and she was outstanding. As they said in the program, she has played many of the most coveted roles in musical theatre history and we were very entertained by her performance.
After the show we went to the casino again and Ed did really well.

Dinner tonight was in one of the specialty restaurants call the Murano. There are three specialty restaurants on board that you have to pay an additional fee to go to and this is their classic French restaurant. We went with our friends from New York, Jeff and Vera and had a good time. We had a good meal, but not as outstanding as on other Celebrity ships.

Barb's lobster

Then it was on to the casino where both Ed and Barb lost but we were up considerable for the day, so it was a good day in the casino as we closed it at 2 am.

Tomorrow is Costa Maya, Mexico, our last stop.
