Sunny sea day. I woke up earlytoday and pulled back the black out curtains in our cabin. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY SUNNY!! A few fluffy white clouds on a gorgeous bluesky and equally gorgeous calm blue seas. I wanted to go swimming right away but then I remembered about the smallmatter of the early risers trivia and then actually eating something. Billy (the annoyingAmerican non-know-it-all) joined her husband and the rest of our team for thequiz.

The people are multilingual, speaking a mix of Dutch, English, Spanish an...

Today is a day atsea in transit between Bahamas and our next stop of Curacao. Last night it was windy but this ship is sobig, it just barely moves with the waves. Wouldn't describe it as rough at all. So far today we havebeen in the pool at the end of the ship (really nice because it is adults only)and then we chilled out on the balcony. Our balcony table is covered with sea salt and you can still feel thesalt spray being whipped off the waves by the wind...
