Spring 2016 – Day 4


This was our first full day of our cruise and also the first day at sea and the weather was perfect!!



We had slept in and Ed went up to the deck at 8:30am and there were hardly any deck chairs left but we found a great spot on the deck above the pool where we like to be.



Ed had breakfast and rode an exercise bike for 30 minutes and then went to the room to get Barb up.



We were both on the deck by a little after 10am and stayed there until 12:30pm when we met our friends in the Aqua Spa for lunch.  We ate healthy with a lunch of grilled salmon and some shrimp.



Then we went to the casino for the slot tournament.  Ed failed to qualify for the finals, Barb did and came in second, which earned her a casino t-shirt and $86, not bad for a $25 entry fee.  Barbara and Tim were there, so we decided to play a session at the casino.  Ed played for 22 minutes and had a big run and got up with his winnings and in the mean time, Barb hit for small jackpot so we left the casino winners – which is always nice.



After a snack on our deck, we took a nap and then got ready for the evening.



The entertainment tonight was the Celebrity singers and dancers and the show was really good, maybe the best production number that we have ever seen on a cruise.



Of course next was dinner and then we went to the casino.



We had a full table with 5 of us playing and two new people who thankfully knew how to play and Barb cheering us on, except when she went to play a slot machine.



Tonight, Barb did very well and so did Ed and we had a very successful day in the casino.



Tomorrow is our first port, Cozumel, Mexico – it should be fun.
