At sea Day 3 Monday


    We were up early again today to see clearing skies. The wave height was up to 3
Morning Sea
meters today but the Regal seems to be able to handle it well. The wind on deck is around 45 knots and the Captain seemed to pick the best route for fair weather. Despite it being windy the temperature is around 65F. Maybe we will be able to get out on deck in the next few days. After a light breakfast, we did our 45 minute zumba routine. It was a good session as the leader is far better than the other 2 that we have had. It is good to get in some real exercise. I went to a presentation on using your camera. It was pretty basic but ended up as a “commercial” for their platinum studio where they do black and white photos. Judy attended her mindful eating lecture, then we attended the Rhumba dance class. It was pretty easy since we have that beat in line dancing.
     We ate at Alfredo's the pizza venue. They serve thin crust made to order pizzas, that is very good. We also attended another ship information lecture. This one was on the size, speed, engines, etc of the Regal as well as the navigation equipment and the layout of the bridge. Included was the watch system and the education that ship officers have before they proceed up the ladder of responsibility. It seems that these lectures are taking the place of having outside experts speak on a wide variety of topics. Perhaps it is another way that the company can save money?
   
Where's Judy
 A late (lame) line dancing session was held in the Atrium. It was crowded as usual! Because of the second captain's circle party, the lounge was not available for pre dinner drinks. We wandered around the atrium and did stop in at the Effy store for a few glasses of champagne. I won a draw prize. Just what I need. We decided to skip the late show and watch an on demand movie. We are considering booking another cruise while on the ship since offer extra incentives although we have not gotten a cost as of yet.
