Cruise Day #25 - At Sea

After nine consecutive sea days, we will finally arrive in Honolulu tomorrow morning.  Weather forecast looks good, mid-80's and no rain.  It will be nice to walk on "tierra firma" again!

After changing the clocks one hour forward again last night, we had a late start to the day.  We missed the dining room breakfast, they close at 9 am.  So, we went to the International Cafe for our Cappuccinos.  Afterwards, I made my 60 minute appointment with Mr Elliptical.  Debbie hung out and visited with B (of D&B) for awhile.

The weather has warmed up, but it is quite windy and rocky.  It also looks like it might rain.  No bueno for the Sanctuary!

I noticed today that our water onboard has changed from being sourced in Malaysia to Japan.

We went to our Reserve Collection section of the dining room for lunch.  We both had the Seafood Louie Salad to start, it was very good!

 Debbie also had the Veggie Burger
I had the Veggie Panini

D & B joined us midway through our lunch.  Afterwards, I returned to our couch to continue reading Book 6 of the Jack Ryan series.

Before dinner, we met up with our friends, B & J, from Thousand Oaks (very close to our home).  We met on a prior cruise and we get together for dinner at home.

I intended to take a few dinner photos, but we got totally involved in conversation with our Restaurant Manager, Michael, and our Sommelier, Nicola.  I did take a photo of our dinner vino.

After dinner, we had a great time dancing at the Latin Night, at the Explorer's Lounge.


The Hop-on/Hop-off Bus Tour

Today, Debbie and I were on our own as Douw had business to attend to. Conveniently, there’s a hop-on/hop-off bus stop right across from our...
