Day 11 - Cruising

Another leisurely sleep in today as we plan our shipboard activities.  Coffee & croissants from Room Service was ordered and delivered to the door! Nice start I say!

Kelly was off to the shopping show at the Lyric Theater. This is were the ladies plot out their purchasing plans in Aruba.... the men? Well they all meet at the Sky Bar and discuss credit card limits:-)

We have another meet & greet today with our second week Cruise Critic folks. Andrew and Dawne, our dinner partners this week, were there so we sat with them for the meeting then stayed after and talking about their work and kids. Next on our agenda was the belly flop contest... we grabbed the perfect vantage point and enjoyed the hilarity of it all... there are some big people on this ship!

A quick bite to eat and we were off to Studio B for the Ice Show. We got there a bit late and all the best seats were taken of course. Low and behold Dan found us and said that he has saved two seats at the front for us! Martin, July, Vicki and Dan and us all front row center! As Dan would say “Brilliant”! I have got to admit it was amazing to be in this environment and see ice dancers! The show was well done and judging by the crowd response, a big hit. Most all the male dancers were from Canada :-) Probably former hockey players.

We went through the Casino and watched the Black Jack and Poker tournaments that are daily events leading up to the grande finale on Saturday. It was a lot of fun but I am out of my league here :-)

Kelly went off to her massage and I went back to the room to prep for dinner... the day is flying by! Off to the dinning room for another great dinner. We can’t say enough of the quality of the food and service on board. Next we headed to the Casino to watch our dinner friends Michael and Katherine do their slot pull... they lost just like us :-)

We cruised through the Casino and then the Promenade and finally got to see the Quest show. Perfectly normal adults turned into crazy people. It was a study in humanity :-)

No pictures today as we didn’t take any interesting ones...well one of me at the pub with a Guinness but there are hundreds of those floating around the internet already.

Tomorrow is Aruba! It is also the longest day... from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. in port!  We are planning a island tour in the a.m. and swimming at a beach for the rest of the day. It is also my dad’s birthday!
