At sea

After leaving Vancouver we had 6 sea days cruising halfway across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii.

The ship has 13 decks and 10 lifts to move passengers up and down all day. As you walk in the lift the name of the day is on the floor and changed every day. That has been remarkable useful as when you look at someone and say "what day is it today?" you just check the lift!

There are tons of activities to keep you busy onboard. Trivia quizzes, musical performances, karaoke, a casino, shops, demonstrations of everything from napkin folding to ballroom dancing, movies, bingo, a library and a games room. Also 2 swimming pools and 4 spas and a beauty clinic.

So much to do!!!

We spent most days doing the following; up early and breakfast in the buffet before the crowds. Reading by the pool and jumping in for a swim from time to time. Chatting with fellow passengers. Then lunch by the pool maybe catch a movie after lunch or go for a nana nap (so exhausting ). Time to dress for dinner, grab a cocktail and listen to live music in one of the many bars. After dinner. Check out the daily specials in the shops. (need an extra bag to bring it all home) Trevor is a t shirt junkie and I have bought more jewelry than I need. Then the nightly show starting at 9 pm. A full blown song and dance show or an award winning pianist , musician or comedian. Then off to bed to recharge the batteries for the next day.

I went to a trivia comp one night with a couple of other women. We won!!!

Took Trevor for his first game of bingo. And his last. We both has a beauty treatment one day; body scrub, massage and facial. Very nice.

So now we are in Hawaii visiting 4 ports before we leave the ship for 2 last nights in Honolulu before flying home.

Lots yet to see and do.

Love. Nadine
