Absolutely nothing day. Nothing! No lectures (they are all repeats), no entertainment (no special afternoon cabaret shows), nothing! We spend a lot of time at the gym, at Mosaics, talking with ShoreEx about excursions for the Onward cruise in November, eating lunch on the Patio, blogging, napping (ok, me), walking Deck 10 (ok, Ed) and then we actually watched a couple of our downloaded programs on TV in the cabin. Nice sea day, for what it’s worth.
The evening isn’t much different. We are ditching the loyalty party, I mean why? Free booze? We get that anyway, and we always have to go get our own coz they don’t automatically serve what we want, it is at 5pm, meaning we’ll have 2 hours of downtime afterward before dinner. Nah. Cabin, then late gym, then living room for drinks – fortunately with Harmony Hive and not that stupid Silent Disco that they are having today at 8:30. Sigh.
Back on the balcony we are totally entertained by a huge pod of dolphins. There must have been 50 or 60 of them all around the ship, playing in the wake, swimming alongside. The water is so clear, you can actually see them swimming right beneath the surface.













We linger so long on the balcony we are almost late for our Aqualina dinner! But not to worry, Jeannie is there for us – no window table tonight as they are full, but we don’t care. We have a very pleasant meal – the lamb is wonderful tonight – and then for our petit fours, I am served a little white chocolate dinosaur. So cute!

Then it is back to the balcony and a beautiful cloud speckled sky for the rest of the evening.
