Cruising the Indian Ocean, Day 4

We have almost sailed to the midway point between Fremantle and Mauritius. We left behind the big swells of yesterday and are back in chop. The captain says seas between 4 to 6 feet. We are able to keep water in the swimming pool for the first time this segment. I've decided I'll do my own yoga in the room in that event and skip Palm Court's chair yoga class.  We had bed mail this morning. One letter warning about the not up to standards tourist or otherwise infrastructure in the coming ports with unpaved roads, no A/C and non-licensed guides with poor English skills. It really seems warnings of that type should have been delivered in that boldface type before accepting a booking for this cruise! If it comes as a surprise to you now well you can't change your mind!

We have both rejected everything on Waterside's evening menu. The bad news is we also cannot get a reservation at Silk at 6pm. We have the Captain's Quarters cocktails at 7 to 7:30 pm so we have to eat early because after 7:30 pm is too late for us. Clay proposes Bistro for afternoon snacks that are removed from the buffet at 7 pm. Cocktails. Back to Bistro for the desserts buffet they put out after 7:30 pm. I guess we should count ourselves lucky to have the option.

We plan to go to The Rider in Hollywood Theater at 2:30 pm. Otherwise another lazy sea day.

Slight change of plan. Clay decided we should eat at Trident Grill before they close at 6 pm followed by ice cream at Scoops. Then since our cabin gets serviced between 6 and 7 pm, we stay out and not return until after the cocktail party ends at 7:30. That's it.
