Cruise Day #30 - Sea Day

Today is consecutive Sea Day #3 of 5.  It really, really started rocking last night around 9 pm.  I had to take two bottles of wine off of our counter and nestle them in our couch cushions for fear that they would fall over and break.  And, it has continued through this morning.  

We got up too late to make it to breakfast in the dining room, they close at 9 am.  Even though I usually only have a Cappuccino and maybe an English Muffin, it's a nice way to start the day in the dining room.  So, we again had our Cappuccinos at the International Cafe.  We have really noticed the serious coughing from passengers as we walk around.  It's hard holding your breath as we try to put some distance between us and the hackers!

I made my way to the Fitness Center for my daily ride on the Elliptical Machine.  They only have two machines, which is really annoying.  There were two ladies on them, casually striding while having a conversation.  I waited for 15 minutes before becoming frustrated and returned to our cabin.  I will go back up and hopefully they have taken their conversation elsewhere.

The Fitness Center was almost empty on my return and I was able to use the Elliptical Machine.

For lunch today, we went to the Salty Dog Gastropub pop-up at the Crown Grill.  They were slammed!  As the cruise is almost over, folks are venturing out to try new venues.  We both had the Plant-Based Beyond burgers, they were very good.  I was going to take a photo but I was overwhelmed by my hunger! 

Before dinner we visited with several of our friends at the Crown Grill Bar. We made it to dinner just as D & B were getting their entrees.  They left for a show just before we received our entrees.  Tonight they had Grilled Calamari Steaks, they were excellent.
