Beautiful morning

My fruit plate was made to look like the ship docked at the Island with palm trees and building

The Marines...Bill is the second from the left.  Our Cruise Director, Dustin, is on the far right.

All of the Veterans being honored.

Beautiful warm sunny day...We enjoyed lounging by the pool

Beautiful sunset.  I videoed it going down, but can't post it.

Sunset...It sure went down fast

Watching a movie outside by the pool on the big screen.  We sat in lounge chairs and they brought us warm beach towels because it was windy and a little cool out.

Animal of the night and a thank you card from our steward who took care of our room.

It was an “at sea” day today!  We ate breakfast at the Platinum with Wes, Gayla and Joel.  I had a stack of blueberry pancakes with blueberry topping, ham, and a fruit plate.  We changed into our swimsuits and went to the 11th deck and lounged in the chairs.  Bill decided to go to the deportation meeting to see what we need to do tomorrow when we get off the ship early to catch our flight.  They told everyone at the meeting that they can’t believe how many people set their luggage out for pickup at night, and then the next morning when it’s time to get off the ship, they have only robes, or pj’s or nothing in some cases to wear when they have to leave.

A young couple next to me from Oklahoma on the deck stood up and saw flying fish.  Wes had told us he had seen some on his last cruise.  There were about a hundred of them.  They sure can fly pretty far.  Sure was neat to see. 

We went and had lunch at one.  So much food to choose from, and you can always have as much as you want.  Ice cream available in machines 24 hours a day.  We laid by the pool after that.  Then we walked through some shops.  Went to dinner at six.  Bill had prime rib and I had Salmon, red potatoes and macaroni and cheese, plus baked onion soup.  Yum!  We all had baked Alaska.  The wait staff all came out carrying flaming ones and paraded around.  Then they all put another show for us.  We went to our rooms and got warm clothes on, then went up by the pool and sat in lounge chairs and watched Small Foot.  The worker brought us warm beach towels to cover up with.  The calm daytime pool turned into a wave pool because it was so windy.  We went in the  Lido  and played 3-13 after that.  Bill won and beat Wes by 4 points.  Wes had been winning till then! We said our goodbyes because we had to leave way earlier than them in the morning to catch our flight in time. What great friends and wonderful blessings they are to us.
