At Sea Day 6 of 7

    And on we sail. We can actually see the coastline of Europe on the navigation map that is on one of the ship's channels. We still continue to move along at about 17 knots. We have done many crossings but usually we have a stop in the Azores to break up the sea time. Crossing from Florida to England; across the Atlantic at a 45 degree angle is different. We are starting to be anxious for Liverpool which we will be in early Sunday.

Even with the time change last night we were up early enough to have a coffee and tea in the Atrium along with a muffin and yogurt. Zumba for 40 minutes followed. We both went to the enrichment lecture on cars. This one was on the British car industry through the ages. Today Britain is the number 12 in car producer. The leading producer is Mazda. He did talk about Austin Healys and did mention that they have the Lucas electrical system; so poorly designed even mechanics can't figure out why some of the pieces are inn there. The destination lecture on Liverpool followed. Since we have been before and have a good idea of what we want to do, it only gave a few ideas on what we might do. As usual, the theatre was packed. We also had a chance to put in our future cruise deposit.

    Since we had a light breakfast we decided to eat in the dinning room. It is a nice break from the Atrium or the Horizon Court but it takes a long time to be served and finish. We had nothing going until mid afternoon. I went off to see the Star Wars movie in the theatre and Judy did “Low Impact” Zumba although it was not much different from the regular class. The Elite lounge is closed tonight because there are 4 more parties for Captain Circle passengers. We decided to watch an movie. We do get Fox a and MNBC news channels. They seem to cover the campaign and everything that is said 24 hours a day! It is either that of the BBC!

Our Table

     We decided not to go to the early show tonight. The production is Born To Be Wild a show we have seen many times. Judy was still watching a movie when we were suppose to leave. Dinner with Mike and Marge followed. We wanted to go to the Crab Shack on Saturday but they were full up. We booked for May 2 instead. The roast beef at dinner was excellent as it has been all this cruise. We did pop in on one of the game shows that they hold every night that we can't get to because of the time we have dinner.

   We were informed that we will need to clear British immigration before we go ashore. This will take place after we dock. With 3100 people to go through the process, it should be quite a mess although we have been given a specific time to report.
