Day 20: At Sea

I’m starting to feel the way I imagine CD Aaron was feeling when the start of production show Born To Dance was delayed 30 minutes due to technical issues and he did everything but tap dance to try to keep a packed Princess Theater entertained and content. Another sea day, this one not originally planned, and I really couldn’t say just how we spent our day. Actually, I know how I spent my day, but am a little embarrassed to admit that it was all football, all day. It’s easier now that we’re on CDT and I don’t have to stay up half the night to watch games, but not nearly as much fun as it would have been if even one NFL game had been shown on MUTS.

Breakfast in Sabatini’s gets longer and more relaxed every morning, not that we’re eating any more food. It’s just that we have coffee, read the news online and check on things at home before we even place our orders (which are the same items every day). I love it!

I went directly from Sabatini’s to check out a couple of laundry rooms, but they were all busy this morning, so I instead joined G on the Horizon Terrace until the games began and I returned to the cabin.

I did go to the International Cafe for the very first time to get a sandwich for lunch which I brought back to the cabin to eat, and then didn’t leave again until we went to the PES Lounge and dinner in the Symphony Dining Room.

It was not a very exciting day. Cue the tap dancing. šŸ˜‚


Our weather continues to be mostly sunny with a stiff breeze and small white caps on the ocean surface. I don’t have a lot of experience with hurricanes (I moved out of South Florida a year before Andrew hit, thank God), but I’ll admit that, when I’ve followed those swirling storms on radar for years, I never imagined the weather just outside those rings to be so pleasant.

A delicious dinner didn’t help our lazy mood (though the outcome of a couple of games did make us very happy). We returned to the cabin for more football and I was able to do a load of laundry in an empty laundry room at 7pm and am all set until I return home in six days.

With nothing more exciting to discuss, I thought I’d comment here on the new Medallion holder I’m using for the first time this cruise. It’s one of those Air Tag holders sold on Amazon that slides onto an Apple Watch band.

It works great, but I did have to deactivate my Apple Wallet because that would open every time I scanned the medallion (just turn off the passcode to do that). I wear it to sleep in, too, and it’s stayed in place. I like it better than wearing a separate band with the medallion on it. BTW, I had to get my medallion replaced yesterday because the battery died, but G’s is still working.

I’ve already seen the Patter for tomorrow, and am relieved to report that there are a few activities I’m likely to attend, and no football until the evening, so I should have more to report. Yay for blog content!
