We had no real reason to get out of bed so we didn’t. Kyle got to watch come Top Gear on Cruise TV (it’s a British Car show where the just berate stupid American cars – even I think it’s kinda funny). At about 10 am we finally went to breakfast then headed up to our spot in the top floor Lounge to read. It took us about 15 minutes to realize that we didn’t want to be reading – we wanted to be sleeping! So, back to the room for a 3 hour nap (it was great).
The nice part about cruising in the winter is that there’s really not a whole, whole lot to do on the ship. It’s not warm enough to sit outside and get some sun (or really be outside for that matter) so we just didn’t. I didn’t feel bad about taking a three hour nap!
After our nap and lunch Kyle decided he wanted to climb the rock wall. We figured that would take at least an hour with all the signing away your life and getting hooked up and stuff that needed to be done. It took about 10 minutes.
So now what? Back to the top floor lounge for some game playing!We had Christmas dinner in the buffet again. We did everything possible to get in the actual restaurant but on our way to dinner we decided that we did not want to be the only people at this big 10 person table…we also didn’t want to be there, alone, with this one other couple like we were the night before…basically if the only fun people at the table (Heidi and Kevin) didn’t make it to dinner we didn’t want to go. Dinner seating was at 6 – at 6:30 we peeked in and there was no one at the table. We decided we weren’t going either and headed back to the room to change out of our ‘formal attire’.
The boat was celebrating Christmas by having $1 black jack for an hour so we rushed over to the casino to get a spot. It wasn’t quite 7 so I sat down at a table to save a seat and ended up losing $40 likethat. But I was up $8 when, an hour later, we were done playing $1 blackjack – Kyle was down about $10.
At 9 we headed over to the Theatre for a one man piano show. I was a little leery about it, even though I LOVE the piano bar, I was afraid he was going to sing his own stuff. The first song was a little raunchy and he kept screaming ‘CLAP YOUR EFFING HANDS’. Luckily, after that first song, he did all covers. Billy Joel, Elton John, Barry Manilow, Neil Sedaca…he was very entertaining. We’d also learned that if you put clear alcohol in a water bottle people just think you are watering down your soda and ask you no questions (like is that booze illegal? How did you get it on the ship?). It worked quite well so by the end of the show I had to go directly to sleep.
