By then the two busy days and less than 3 hours sleep I got at the hotel had taken their toll, and we returned to our cabin and finished unpacking (this cabin is stuffed! G said we've NEVER brought this much on a cruise, which is saying something), and I walked 'out back', which is how we refer to the the open decks aft on the ship. It is relaxing to watch the ship's wake from 14 decks above the water, especially with the almost-full moonlight reflecting off the water. I then turned around and took this photo. This is, in one photo, where we spend most of our time while on the ship. In the foreground is the Terrace Pool, then Outriggers bar and the large seating area behind the buffet. Up two decks is our favorite hot tub, with great views of the open ocean, then the high, glassed-in area is Skywalkers nightclub where we have a special cocktail hour every evening before dinner (and with great views of our sailaways from the islands), then, at the top, where the railed area is, the jogging track around the putt putt gold course. It's 16 laps to a mile, which gives one the impression of going around in circles, but the 360 degree views make up for any monotony.
