Our second day at sea began with smoother seas, and much less motion of the ocean. It was slightly warmer, except on our side of the ship, which is port. The sun seems to rise and set where we cannot easily see it, as we are heading on a more easterly course. According to the Captain, we are sailing near the deepest trench in the Atlantic Ocean. Very deep, it is way over our heads! We must be far enough from any land, because we only saw one booby today, and that was brief. We did pass a Princess ship heading in the opposite direction.
Sales for everything took place on the ship all day. Since we have so few sea days on these 10 to 11 day sailings, they take advantage of that fact. Both of us received coupons again. One for a spa treatment for $70 and another for $200 towards anything Effys. Our last coupons expired back in December, so we might check this out to see how far $70 will take each of us. Susie also got one of these coupons, and went to Effys. There was nothing even close to $200, although if you have considerable have-to-spend shipboard credit to use, it may work.
Going to Club Orange for breakfast, we noticed that the majority of people did not show up until later. Could be due to the changing of the clocks last night. Even the waiters in this venue have changed stations, as we have a new man taking our orders. Joko is still nearby to give the new fellow instructions. Our yogurt, fruit, and granola starters are always ready to go when we sit down. Two pots of coffee, a blueberry muffin, and fresh-squeezed orange juice are served. Joyce always inquires as to if we would like a mimosa, which we say yes on Sunday.
Between two long walks, lunch in the Lido, and working online, we kept busy. Relaxing also, but not so much on the veranda, as the breeze was downright cool. The further south we go, the warmer it will get.
Dinner time found all five of us present. It seems that we ordered the better entrees of lasagna and parmesan-coated veal. By the time we finished dessert, the room had all but emptied out. Not a lot of late diners here, we guess.
Tomorrow, we will be in St. Maarten, and should have no restrictions as far as walking to town.
