As the image above indicates, the weather yesterday when we
sailed from Norfolk left a great deal to be desired and the seas got rather
rough - the water in one pool on the fantail was drained because it was
sloshing over the sides of the pool and wetting down the surrounding restaurant
area. Our group was unfazed and we had
cocktails, dinner and a merry time.
Thankfully, we had booked a cabin on one lower levels of the ship without
a balcony (it gives you a much larger stateroom) which is the place to be when
waves are making a 110,000 ton ship rock and roll.
This morning was a total transformation and we have enjoyed
a warm sunny day and have lazed on deck reading and enjoying the views of the
gorgeous royal blue colored sea. As it
turns out, we have our own "Friends of Dorothy" crowed from Hampton
Roads and tonight about 20+ of us are going to dine in as close proximity as
possible. Our table at dinner tonight is pictured below. Our favorite bartender from
last year is aboard and it will be fun chatting with her more over the course
of the cruise. Many of the public rooms
have been redecorated since we sailed on the Glory last year, including the
dance club. Hopefully, the new D.J. is
decent because the one last year sucked big time and would have had a hard time
making it in even a third or fourth rate club in Hampton Roads.
Tomorrow we arrive in Nassau and, as we did last year, we plain
on walking to a beach not too far from the cruise ship terminal where we can
rent lounge chairs and sample frozen drinks and conch fritters and other local
treats from a restaurant across the street from the beach. Unlike Virginia, drinking on a public beach
is not an issue.
