Finally, a sea day - November 2
It was nice to have a relaxing sea day after four days in port. I did my usual routine - Sit and Stitch, lunch, trivia, crafts, trivia, 4 laps around the deck, dinner, and show with a few extras thrown in.
I stopped by Shore Excursions to change an excursion I booked. You can book excursions on HAL's Navigator app, but you can't cancel them. I also got on a waiting list for another excursion I want.
We received the letter about pirates although it was phrased differently. It talked about us entering the "High Risk" area and what preventions will be taken. On his noon update, the Captain let us know that this designation was ending on January 1 because the issue is not the problem it once was.
Before dinner I went to the "Ultimate Mind Game" but had to leave before the answers. The questions were like the classic, "Some months have 30 days and some have 31. How many have 28?" Of course, the answer is all of them.
Tonight was another "Dressy" night with a special menu. We talked about what we all did yesterday and found out we were all going our separate ways tomorrow night. I went to the show after dinner. It was called "Your Song" and was a tribute to Elton John by the Singers and Dancers.
Another week of sea days lie ahead so it is relaxation time.

This is Liz (aka Easy Spirits).We will be going on this trip next year and I was wondering if you heard any comments about both the ship and private tours of Luxor. If so, could you relay what they were?
ReplyDeleteI have heard mostly favorable on both. Main problem is it is a long day but those I have spoken with said it was worth it.
DeleteThank you.
