Geezers @ Sea: Onboard Edition

We had a sea day today. No ports of call. That means we stayed on the ship and enjoyed the food, the people, and the activities. We love sea days. In fact is was a triple event day! We wished my dear mother  Happy 107th Birthday (sadly she did not live that long) but today is always her birthday. It is also Good Friday. All is good.

I started the day going to the knitters group meeting ladies from all over the world doing our favorite hobby. I started a teddy bear blanket which I probably won't finish on the cruise as there's only one more sea day, but the weather is iffy, so who knows how much progress I will make on it.

From there we heard there was handmade pasta on the terrace, so we raced there to have some. That was followed by a fun chat with a couple from Missouri, followed by a sojourn upstairs to change for dinner. Dinner was fantastic! We had LOBSTER and all the trimmings that was beyond delicious. After dinner a stroll to the atrium to listen to some music. To wrap up the night the Viking Vocalists sang Broadway hits.

We had a great sea day. Our ship might be small but it's filled with lots of very interesting people. We have however had a change of plans. We are no longer in the calm Mediterranean but the big-bad-North Atlantic. The water has changed...it is not placid. We are doing some rocking and rolling. A small ship feels rolls a bit more than a large ship. We are a small ship. We are going to stay overnight in Porto, Portugal, and we will not land a Falmouth, England. I talked to the cruise director and we are still going to be in Paris on my birthday...all is good.

It's been a good sea day. The adventure continues!
