Boring!

 We have another sea day but this one was just about boring.  For some reason they did not have our two Beyond the Podium speakers today so that left us with the whole morning to enjoy the ship.  Too cold, way too cold for swimming or hot tubs as there is no retractable roof over the main pool area.  The spa pool was full of lap swimmers and really a hot tub is where I prefer to swim!  We did go to the two customer service desks to make sure Elva’s bill was correct.  It seems to be but we each have a bunch of onboard credit that will be lost if we do not spend it.  Not sure what I will get but someone at home will get a souvenir they really don’t want!  The Italian restaurant is $45 and that just seems a lot to spend for a dinner when there is all kinds of “free food” on board.

We filled the day with this and that.  Shopped and Elva bought a very pretty shirt that is just her style in the Chico’s store and used up most of her credit.  I am not sure what I will do.  It is partly because the new Celebrity system lets you use OBC to purchase tours prior to sailing but because the tours were a few dollars more than the credit available it put the whole charge to the credit card.  We could change the two we hadn’t yet taken but didn’t know we could do that before we were in Bermuda.   Ah well you live and learn!

We only got 13 out of 15 at the Progressive trivia today so won’t finish first but maybe top 3.  We did stay and visit with our team mates for awhile afterwards until they threw us out so they could have the nightly complimentary cocktail hour for the Elite Plus level guests.  If I had stayed with only one cruise line I would be that and the very top of the line!  But we like different lines for different things.  I book by itinerary and price!  It has worked so far!

We dressed for dinner and were seated with Polly from our team and her friend Dorothy who passed her book, Camilla, on to me.  Not an especially good book so may not take it along with me when we head to Wales.

We caught most of the show but Elva decided not to go back for the later show.  We laughed and cheered  mildly at the Minute to Win It game show.  They always have a quick game show like the one I won the other night.  It is in the space outside the main theater between shows. I am filling the evening reviewing pictures to post for you and writing to tell you I miss Wonton Noodle.  And ending with telling you that although it was a lazy day it must be time to rest a little.  Tonight I spent fifteen minutes trying to figure out where my jeans were.  Elva and I each looked through the closet and drawers but did not see them on the hanger in a dark corner.  The second pair was tucked in the bottom of my suitcase for next week.  Crazy!

But how boring can it be when you are sailing across a sunny sea to an exotic destination?  Tomorrow my first visit to Lisbon!
Good night!
