Sea Day

Seas have been rough enough that you never forget you are on a ship at sea. I guess for some that is a good thing, but honestly I'd rather be able to forget. We slept well and I slept longer than Clay. We had no where to be and nothing to do so it didn't matter.

We had breakfast up in Terrace. There was definitely some kitchen turnover as well as quite a few new servers in addition to all the new passengers. I think the number of passengers on the extended trip Vancouver to Miami must be small.

We killed time in Horizons waiting to get back in the cabin. We walked across the pool deck! First time the weather has been suitable and there were already people on pool loungers. I got a new small needlepoint kit. Brianna says she has new cosmetic cases on order so I will hope for one before the cruise ends.

We went up to Terrace for the Mexican buffet lunch. It appeared to be a repeat of last cruise's but it was a failure. The panini presses they used last time to make burritos were not working. The tortillas were close but the meat and bean fillings were around the corner. The 2 girls that made burritos last cruise were just screwed. It must be new chefs.

We watched TV movies and Clay spent a lot of time in the sun on the balcony. They have free drinks this evening for an hour or so due to the Captain's welcome reception. We have 6:30pm reservations at Polo Grill. I'll assume it will be the same and nothing to report.

Tomorrow is Ensenada and we have an independent wine tour. We'll see. I still haven't had a satisfactory response to my complaint about Victoria from Shore Excursions Group. They delayed long enough that we were not able to cancel any upcoming excursions booked with them. We'll keep our fingers crossed that what happened in Victoria was an anomaly.
