Mediterranean Day Four (Here it is!)

DAY 4 – Lazy Day

Last night the seas were rather rough and we had a creaky, rocking night. To me it was like being rocked to sleep and I slept like a baby from 11 PM to 9:30 AM. Tom was not so fortunate and was up until 4:30 AM when he finally was able to sleep. We went to breakfast and you wouldn’t believe the options available for food. I had eggs Benedict and Tom had filet of sole – so you see the range of options. Then after that we went to see The Princess and the Frog and I slept through at least half of the movie. It was okay. Not Disney’s best by any means.

This cruise ship is beautiful in that they have tried to incorporate the old world style into the ship so it reminds us a lot of a new Queen Mary. Elegant and sophisticated. This afternoon the sea was not so choppy and the cruise became a lot calmer. Tom and I are glad we don’t get seasick. Then we came back upstairs and tried to sit on our balcony or veranda and we couldn’t because somebody on our side is a chain smoker and the smoke keeps wafting over our balcony. So glad we paid for the balcony to have someone ruin it for us by smoking non-stop. So after a while we went upstairs to go to a discussion with the ship’s historian about the locations to which we were going and I have to say the presentation was a little on the boring side.

After that we came upstairs and got ready for formal night – we got a picture with the captain – and then we went to the show Twice Charmed which was a different take on the Cinderella story. I fell asleep in that too. Who knew I was so tired. So then we went and took a picture with Donald Duck in white tie (it was formal night after all) and then we went to dinner. The food was amazing and because our severs move around with us from restaurant to restaurant they already knew our preferences and so it was really cool. So that was all for today. Tomorrow – Malta and we have to be ready to go at 8 AM – EEEK Today’s bed towel is a swan.
