I rose early and went up to Deck 10 to do some blogging. I left text messages for Marlene telling her where I was and what I was doing. But she didn’t get them and was pretty miffed that I would walk off without communicating. A minor tempest that soon blew over.
We had breakfast then left the ship to roam the port area. We did some shopping at the Margaritaville complex near the pier. Marlene found a $50 dress that she liked, a liter of vanilla for $10 and a $3 magnet. I found a $15 pina colada that was arguably the worst I have ever tasted. What a waste of $15!
We reboarded the ship for lunch and I did some more blogging while Marlene napped. The nap seemed like a good idea so I napped for about an hour too. We went to the casino before dinner and my luck ran out – I lost $200 (down $100 for the cruise). Dinner was good, but not spectacular. We went to 2 shows after dinner – a musical show, “Classic Pop” that was simply wonderful. Great voices and dancing, along with beautiful costumes and lighting. This may have been the best show I have ever seen aboard a ship.
Then we caught the late night X-rated comedy show. Two very funny guys who ventured into topics that can’t be mentioned here.
