Day 8, January 3, 2024

We woke up in Tortola and the sun was really, really hot.  By 9am we were baking and it didn’t get any cooler.

We went to the back deck and in the shade had lunch with our friends.

Then we went back up on deck and by 2:30pm, we felt we couldn’t be out there anymore – it was just too hot!!  If you know us you know that our saying we couldn’t be in the sun means it was very, very hot.

One of the things we are doing differently this trip is walking and we are walking a lot, link all around the top deck every 30 minutes.  Easily we are over 10,000 steps a day, even when we are doing nothing!!

So, we came in early, cleaned up, relaxed a bit, and then went to the casino to meet the Manager, Sol.

Sol was also a Casino Manger in 2018 on another ship and we really liked her.  We met her at 4 and went and had “coffee” and just talked with each other – what delight.

Once again we listened and danced to music until the 7:00pm show. 

The show tonight in the theater was a production show titled “Broadway Cabaret” and it was very good as then featured Broadway hits from the past through today’s modern musicals.  It was just fun.

Tonight, for dinner we had ordered 6 Branzino whole fishes and Jeff prepared them for us at the table.  They were wonderful.

Then it was off to the casino where Ed did not do well.  The bad news is that this may be the first losing trip in the casino in 17 trips!!  Hopefully we will be able to do some good for the last two sessions of this trip – wish us luck.

Night for now and see you tomorrow when we stop at Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.  All three of the couple do not plan to get off the ship.
