Mardi Gras


 We lost a day by crossing the international date line so Monday did not exist on the ship. We just skipped to Tuesday. We all masked up and drank hurricanes. 

I won a day spa certificate a couple weeks ago and used it today. The thermal pool was so relaxing with jet sprays all over and the water was so hot. After 1/2 hour of that I relaxed in a heated lounge chair for another half hour. It was a fun experience but I’m glad I didn’t pay for the package. 

We have a passenger on board who teaches daily water aerobics in the afternoons, so I tried that and really enjoyed it. The pool is pretty small so not many can participate at a time. 4-5

Being out in the ocean for a week at a time is very humbling.  The vastness of the water, the isolation of the ship and the tiny speck of me.  

The music venues on the ship are so varied and very professional.  I’m enjoying them most evenings.  The lectures are also very good in the mornings.

  1. Well, what is a Hurricane? That was quite a mask you wore - did anybody know you? We had a little bit of Mardi Gras, lots of beads and a non-alcoholic drink of mostly ice chips. On Valentines Day we enjoyed roo beer floats.
