Day 2: At Sea

I fell asleep about 2am last night, which was 3am when we moved clocks forward. I got up at 7am for a bathroom break and thought, “What the heck, I’ll just go to breakfast and then go back to sleep before lunch”, which, I’m sure you can predict, is not what happened. We ended up sitting on the comfortable outdoor seating on the Terrace Deck until lunch, and, after that, I was certain, I’d sleep all afternoon, but no. 

We used the adult pool and hot tubs this afternoon. It was sunny, hazy and humid and, frankly, too hot for me to be sitting in the sun on a lounger, but the pool felt heavenly. We then had to do a major clean up for formal night. In fact, it was the first time I’ve worn makeup since we got off the Regal on October 27. They don’t check for that at the Hilton. 😉

I went all vegan tonight with the fennel and mushroom salad and roasted carrots entree (the chermoula sauce was delish, but the soup was a disappointment. 

Definitely not as advertised. It was vegetable soup, not tomato soup with bread. 

The champagne waterfall was held starting at 6:30pm, but we went to the Princess Theater to get seats for production show Bravo. Always good, and there was still a diva (from Canada) in the performance. 

Does anyone knew her name? She was perhaps the best we’ve seen in Bravo. 

Afterward, G wanted ice cream, so we stopped by the gelato place and he had to convince me to go to Derrick Dishington’s first set in the Wheelhouse. I was definitely wearing down. A couple of Elderflower Palomas later, I caught a second wind and stayed after G left about 10pm. In fact, I stayed until Derrick finished up at nearly midnight. We were not as rowdy tonight (being heavily influenced by a nameless one who was more subdued tonight) but, boy did we have fun. Derek informed us he’s leaving at the end of this cruise and he will be missed.

I skulked in just before 1am and tried unsuccessfully not to wake G up when I did. Tomorrow, I promise myself, I will sleep.
