Sea Day 6 - Friday May 11th


I'm not doing too well at getting a post out every day.  We get so busy at night.  So writing it in the middle of the day while I'm laying at the pool is what I am doing.

Last post I told you the comedian had an adult show that night at 10:30.  The Royal Caribbean production crew did a variety show at 7 & 9.  They were ok.  I think NCL has better productions.  

I seem to be completely over my sea sickness.  Of course I'm now wearing a patch and the seas are more calm than they were on Monday.  

We are having a great time.  We are being completely lazy.  Bill is still getting up early and going to work out every morning.  I gave up after my first day when I got sick.  We have been moving our clocks ahead one hour every day.  So after the late show, I figure out what city to use to set my iPhone and then it's so late, I just go to bed.

Landry's late show was really great.  Of course he called us out during the show, but at least we didn't have to go up on stage.  It was very 'blue'.   I think he only cussed a couple of times and his jokes about farts and sex were not too dirty.

Thursday Michelle Murlin had a matinee show and it was wonderful.  She is so full of energy and she is a Mezzo Soprano.  I think so any way.  She hit the soprano notes and alto notes too.

Thursday night we had a ventriloquist named Brad Cummings.  He got a married couple up on stage with him and he put the marionette masks on both of them and then pretended to be a marriage counselor and he moved their mouths.  It was very funny and I'm glad I didn't let Bill raise his hand.  After that he picked on a guys sitting a couple of seats from us and ended up bringing him up on stage and making a 'dummy' out of him.  He also did a bit with a hand puppet that was a tyrannosaurus just hatched.  That was pretty funny too.

As usual we ended the evening at the Schooner lounge listening to the piano guy.  We are eating dinner now at a shared table.  So we have Mike and Steve there with us and a couple from Puerto Rico, Rene and Anna.  Rene is just recently retired and they are a nice couple.  They ended up with us at the piano bar last night.  Of course we didn't stay late because I set my phone time ahead and by the time we had one drink, it was midnight.  I had to get up early today so I could get us chairs in the solarium.  Every other day it was completely full by 10am.  So I got up at 8 and come and saved our four chairs.

So far the food in the main dining room, Tides is okay.  We aren't scheduled to eat in a specialty restaurant until the 19th, our 45th anniversary.  I have been a little bad on my Keto diet this week.  I've eaten a couple of desserts.  We got a chocolate cake the second night for our anniversary package I bought and I've had a piece of that every day.  I weighed myself the first day and haven't gone back to weigh again.  I'll definitely go weigh tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow we arrive in La Palma, Canary Islands.  Then Sunday we will be in Gran Canary and Monday in Tenerife.  So I'll update you tomorrow.  If you have questions, leave a comment.
