Today is another day with a serious lack of pictures, I really didn't take many because I had left the camera in the cabin most of the day. We got up and decided that it wasn't going to be the pool day we had envisioned because of the serious sunburns we had managed to get on our snorkel trip (this, on top of the ones from San Juan!!!) I'm pretty sure this is the sunburn cruise, that's for sure.
After a little breakfast, we took ourselves up to the pool deck and parked it on some lounge chairs in the shade. There was a nice breeze, and we turned the chairs to look out the windows on the beautiful tropical view. I did some reading, but mostly got caught up on the blogs (notice a large # of postings appeared on Monday? That's why.)
About 130 we grabbed some lunch. Lucky for me, they had After Eight ice cream (obviously leftover from dinner the night before) in the buffet so I got a cup of eat. AWESOME!!! Then came the realization I needed faster wifi (and cheaper!) than what I was getting on the ship to get everything uploaded and caught up. So we headed off the ship to the nearest restaurant with free wifi- happens to be called Sweet Lime, and it's just to the right of the dock when you go through the port building. Head through the casino, and go upstairs. It has a fantastic view, and pretty good wifi, so we had a few drinks and got caught up on our emails etc. This took a couple of hours, so we headed back to the ship about 4pm. The most interesting part is that the tide must be really low, because we had to duck to get into the ship off the gangway - it couldn't have been more than 4 feet high. So they had a guy standing there saying "please watch your head" to every single passenger as they got on board.
Dinner was again in Blu (although it's not formal night) and we had another excellent dinner with our same waitstaff as the night before. French onion soup and a Chicken orzo dish, plus chocolate lava cake for dessert. Alas, no After Eight ice cream, but Collins (our waiter) promised to have some for tomorrow, so we will see how that goes. The food was all excellent and I really enjoyed the chicken orzo, it had sundried tomatoes, peas and some sort of vinigrette sauce that was very good. The camera had not left the room again, so alas, no photos. But we'll make up for it when we get to Dominica, I promise!!!! Headed back for the Martini bar, which was less crowded than formal night, and found ourselves some seats in Crush, which is an overflow area. Ari, who had been our preferred bartender was covering that area so we just sort of waved at him when we sat down and drinks appeared about 10 minutes later. Handy, it is.
My only complaint about the cruise so far is the LACK OF LIMES! There is apparently a shortage, and the prices have gone up astronomically so the cruise line has chosen not to buy them. I get it, but it's sure annoying when you want a drink with a lime, and they give you a lemon instead, it's just not as good. First world problems I suppose..........! The restaurants we've eaten in on shore (including the Sweet Lime in St Kitts) all had limes. Geez. Off to bed, and tomorrow is Dominica!
