We slept in this morning mostly because the rocking of the ship and the comfort of egg crate bed made everything peaceful. After getting ready we headed up for breakfast. It seems everyone had the same idea. The one thing we did not like is the setup of the Horizon Buffet for breakfast. They put the toaster in the middle of the action so it was very crowded. The sun is shining today but it is VERY windy and cool. Lots of people are in their swimsuits soaking up the sun but no one in the pools. It is amazing how many people are around the ship. I keep forgetting how big the ship is compared to Disney. After we ate some fruit, French toast, and bacon we headed down to the Piazza for some fancy coffee drinks at the International Café. We stopped for a bit to talk with some of our Cruise Critic friends and then headed to see what all the fuss was about at the Shopping Talk. The theater was packed and tons of information. I hope that maybe I can get this beautiful blue diamond ring they featured. I think that would make an awesome anniversary gift, don’t you??
One of the things we heard about when researching this cruise was the pub lunch. It is only featured on sea days and it was being held today at the Crown Grill. About 1:00pm we headed there. We sat next to a nice couple from NJ and enjoyed the best fish and chips Chris has ever eaten. One thing I can say so far is that the food on this ship is not only in more abundance than Disney but the quality is fantastic. Of course even though we were full we had to check out the buffets to see what else was offered. While walking through Caribe Café buffet, Chris spotted the fried shrimp so we had to eat again. Needless to say we will not go hungry here. The other side of the buffet, Horizon court even had different items.
Tonight is formal night. They are offering 10 different locations to get your pictures taken and the captain will make his speech and there is a champagne waterfall toast. We will be dressing up tonight but I am hoping I can convince Chris to skip the next formal night. I am really enjoying the anytime dining option. The buffets are really nice and we haven’t even seen the two dining rooms yet. That’s all for now… off to walk off some of this food in preparation of dinner.
