Another Day at Sea! 12 March 2023

With the long day yesterday and the time change last night, needless to say we slept in again. Part of that is because there is very little going. The schedule had line dancing this morning at 9 so there was no chance of even trying to make that. Besides after the crowded floor and same steps on all the dances, it was not worth the effort.

Breakfast at the buffet was followed by some walks around the deck. Actually they have a nice walk on the highest deck. On this ship you can't walk the entire promenade deck. It just stops. All the tenders are on that deck. We did find where they “hide” the sudoku. Actually people asked us where we got it. They are not where they say they place them! We did miss the Cadez destination port lecture but saw it in our cabin later in the day.

 So we did attend the lecture on how Maderia wine came to be made. An add on was all the things that were discovered by mistakes like microwaves, post it notes, etc. After a small bit of lunch we saw the presentation on telescopes. It was not as interesting as the first Cosmos presentation but I never realized how many telescopes there are in the world and how many are in space. A towel folding demo in the Atrium was interesting. In all the cruises we have taken we never have seen one.

Needless to say the internet is still not working as apparently we are between satellites! It is the monkey in the room but has lead to an interesting point. You watch people trying to check their phones (me too I guess) and then putting them down. We have heard people are going to the passenger services desk complaining. Statements like I am paying for this but it is useless. And merrily we roll along and still I can't send these. Eventually there will be a whole bunch sent at once!

We have managed to fill the days. We having been using the stairs every time we go up and down and have taken to the the track a few times a day. We are still getting over 10,000 steps in a day which is the goal. We don't seem to know how to just sit in the sun.

We ended the day with a nice roast beef dinner. We skipped the entertainer (more puppets) and since we have another time change tonight, decided to turn in early. We want to try to get to a dinning venue tomorrow for breakfast and then try the line dancing again.
