Started out with purchasing the Cheers package - the drink package they have on the ships. You had to buy it the day you get on or the next day and so we picked today as we had wine with us the first night and wanted to get our value for money! We headed to brunch in the main dining room. This was the only time we actually went to the brunch. The food was good, as were the mimosa's and bloody Mary's. We were on vacation after all! It was supposed to be a comedy brunch but there were no signs of any comedians.
After brunch we decided to try out the mini golf course up on the top deck. It was sunny, but the wind was pretty chilly so there weren't many people around. The wind made it somewhat challenging but I won in the end!

The rest of the day was spent participating in various activities, mainly trivia games - one of which we actually won! We lay outside for a while reading in the afternoon but the wind made it tough. That night was "elegant night" so while Matt took a nap, I hung out at the bar in the casino at the captains meet and greet watching all the people who were already dressed up for early dinner (we had anytime dining rather than assigned early/lat dinner). I tried a few different cocktails and all were good. I went back down to the cabin and we made an effort to get dressed up for dinner.

We got a few pictures taken at some of the many backdrops. They take pics for free and then display them the next day and you can buy any you want (or none at all). We did actually buy one - a nice cheesy one with a piano. Before dinner we watched the best sunset of the whole trip out on the deck and followed that with lots of lobster at dinner! I also tried the chilled strawberry soup, which basically tasted like melted McDonald's strawberry milkshake - weird. The good thing about cruising - you can order as many or as few dishes as you want so I got some salad too :-) Can't remember what we did after dinner - just hanging out around the ship probably!

Sea Day 2:
Finally the sun and warmth combined, at last! We started the day with a 2-3 mile run around the running track. This was our only workout of the whole trip, although we did take the stairs the majority of the time rather than take the lifts. After breakfast at the buffet we found a couple of loungers in the adult only serenity zone which were a lot nicer than the general loungers by the pool and with fewer people and a bar. We relaxed in the sun with my favourite pina coladas and watched the ocean.

We had a few breaks for food, more trivia, more food and ended the day with more comedy. Doesn't sound like the most exciting day but it was wonderfully relaxing and warm :-)
