it's Saturday!

Just a reminder, no pictures until I get my connector working. Or I get online with a computer. :(

Saturday dawned bright and early (like always) and we made our way out to the pool for some sun time.....except we were on the wrong side of the pool this day, only shade for us. And wind, lots of wind.

The pool entertainment for the day was the Pool Olympics - the activity staff somehow got about 24 people to volunteer for different teams - they then all participated in multiple events (row the boat, fill the bucket with water using a towel, and syncronized swimming, my personal favorite) Overall, took about an hour and was fun to watch. Will post some pictures if I can!

Had some lunch at the Mast Grill (best hot dogs and hamburgers at sea!) and a few adult beverages because I can. Tonight was formal night, and even though we weren't participating it's always a fun time to watch. We would also be eating in Blu, the special restaurant for Aqua class cabins, which did not require formalwear.

The Martini Bar was PACKED yet again, and so far the demographics on this cruise have been very unusual. I already talked about the Boca people, there are also a LOT of large family groups on board (15-20 people) and a whole bunch of younger couples. it's interesting to watch, that is for sure.

Blu was excellent, we had our waiter Donovan, sommelier Miroslav and assistant waiter Ashlam. The food was very good, service was excellent and we were done in time to catch the 830 show.....which we left at 845 because WOW, it was not good. We then got waylaid by the Molecular Bar, where they make many, many fancy drinks (most of which have at least 8 ingredients) and had a lot of fun there. Ran into a few of the officers and had a nice time chatting with them until we shut the bar down at around midnight - walking back to the cabin, I'm pretty sure the entire place was asleep, including the casino. Crazy. We also have to turn the clocks foward one hour, to match with Atlantic Standard time for the islands (+4 hours to PST, for those watching from home!)

Tomorrow, another day at sea and some more good times at the pool!
