I have to say... being isolated from news, spending time with family, and having an endless buffet of amazing food was worth it! There were also fewer people on the cruise than usual, so we never had to wait for machines at the gym...
and the ropes course allowed unlimited turns.
The pool tables were fun, if you could hit the cue ball before it rolled with the ship's sway.
The weather was just gorgeous! We stayed on the top deck for a while to burn off our calories from breakfast and 1st lunch. Then there's 2nd lunch, snack, and finally dinner.
In mid-afternoon, the guys decided to attend a craft event. These were mini-canvases that we painted with water colors and stamps. When the guys were not taking their art skills seriously, the girls had to get in on the action.
Our beautiful artwork on the outside of our cabin door. Guys pieces are above the room number, girls pieces are below. The top one is abstract, apparently.
In the early evening, Luke tried his luck at the blackjack table. I've never seen $20 go so fast. (Ha ha) But he had fun.
Our formal night had photographers everywhere. Since their photos are quite pricey, we took this selfie.
After our 4-course dinner, we relaxed in the ship's library. I found a good book while Eric and the little one entertained themselves with board games.
The long day at sea was pretty fun. It was time to rest up for a busy day in the Bahamas.
