Day 2 was a sea day. We started the day with breakfast, then all four of us went down to Guest Services to switch keycards for me and Paul. We had booked the two cabins with me and Carol sharing one cabin and Marlene and Paul sharing the other. This was done so that we could get favorable rates for Paul and Carol but, in case you were wondering, we didn’t actually swap spouses, just keycards. This is done frequently on cruises and the guest services person didn’t bat an eye when we requested the keycard swap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a “formal attire” night and Marlene, as always, looked stunning. But we dined without Paul and Carol as Paul apparently enjoys too much tequila on board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were first in line for a photo with the captain. We haven’t seen it yet but if and when I get it I will post it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent time after dinner in the casino and I lost $100. I think Marlene lost most of her $300 Day 1 winnings too. We have noticed that a win in the casino is most likely on Day 1 and that was certainly the case on this cruise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
