Thank goodness tomorrow is our first stop as I’m getting a little boat and cabin fever. Yes the boat is so big that it barely fits in the canal but still I need to get off and do something. The day is activity filled but nothing interests me. Thank goodness for the solid gym on board as I’ve already been there 2x a day each day thus far. Remember how I mentioned the average age of people? Here’s another reason why that’s a big deal for me, no one is up past 11pm. NO ONE. The last three nights, the dance club has had a max of 10 people (crew included). Piano bar is deserted. Casino; basically a ghost town. Even the ever popular Newlywed Game in the theater is barely at a third capacity. Not too surprisingly the first seating for dinner is 100% full and there are three dozen tables that are 100% empty for second dining. I’m starting to wonder if at my age I’m suppose to just enjoy the Canal by watching shows on tv until I’m older. Last night for the formal night there as a noticeable drop-off in the number of people at dinner. It appears that a whole lot of folks don’t want to dress up on this cruise. We’ll have to wait until Night 8 to see if this was a fluke or not.
Again today, more pool time, relaxing in the room, people watching, eating (and the food is really good thus far), and really getting ready for tomorrow. We’re doing 22 knots and the boat is barely rocking. Yes you can feel it but it’s the open ocean with 7’ swells. This is very impressive.
