The last two full days on this cruise were at sea, heading back to Florida from the Virgin Islands. Both days were pretty laid-back, as days at sea are wont to be. Both days started with breakfast followed by some time in the casino. Saying the casino wasn’t kind to me would be an understatement: I lost over $100 both days and got just one measly $40 bonus. Terrible. Should have read more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did read some on Day 6. Enough to finish my book (book review to follow). Also, as Day 6 was May 1, I performed my monthly laptop backup. We also played some cards and I unexpectedly won a couple of games. Marlene and I relaxed in the cabin in the afternoon and watched a movie – the only full movie we saw on the cruise. The Parent Trap<\/em> with Lindsey Lohan. I hadn’t seen that in many years. A fun movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinner on Day 6 was formal and on Day 7 was informal. We dined with Paul and Carol both nights. The food has been very good. The lobster tail and featured salad on Day 7 were both superb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took some photos after the Day 6 dinner and also got a photo of the captain photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw a second late night show with Manny Oliveira on Day 6 and he was just as funny the second time as the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
