Second Sea Day

One thing about these short voyages is you just get on and then the first evening you get your disembarkation information!  

It looks like most have been assigned Walk Off.  This makes sense since most have just carry on bags.  Although there was the option for you to put out bags too.  Also there were hours at the Purser's desk where you could get different luggage tags if necessary.

We have been assigned Walk off 19 for a time of 9:35 and that works for us so we leave it.

Again this morning we ordered room service and it arrived promptly and the guy who delivered it once again asked "no coffee or tea I brought extra just in case".  We declined, but now talk about service.

I get my blog posted up very difficultly.  WiFi has been very poor, but it seems to be the entire ship.  We hear from officers later that signal was non existent that they had a hard time updating the weather temp.  Not sure why or how as this is not my specialty but the entire three days it has been poor.

We leave the cabin and head to the International Cafe to grab a coffee and to read, do puzzles and to just relax.  

As I sit there I notice how great the staff in the Atrium are.  They are constantly scanning the entire area - including Vines - which often gets forgotten for plates, cups or orders.  Last time we were on the Ruby this was an area that we noticed service was lacking but it was top notch this time.

But after a half hour it gets way too busy and noisy here.  With weather being poor everyone is forced inside.  There are numerous events happening that increases the noise level.  Egg Drop Challenge sign up and then the Galley Tour line snakes thru the Atrium.  Then the Paper Plane Challenge starts and we give up and move on.

We find a nice spot in Wheelhouse and read until we are ready for lunch.  

Once again we try to go to the dining room but the queue is probably a 100 people deep at 1 pm.  So we once again head upstairs for lunch in the Horizon Court, which was very good, but a bit frustrating.  Again the Club Class takes up such a big part of the dining room and it is relatively empty.  While the rest line up and wait.  No Pub Lunch was offered and it is just too cold to be getting pizza or hamburgers unless you brave the temperatures.

Our afternoon we head to Club Fusion to catch the end of the Princess Pyramid Gameshow.   We then take part in the Before they were Famous quiz show and did not too bad, we got 14 and the winners got 15.  So we can hold our head up.  

Lots of other things happening including Bingo, Afternoon Tea, Wine Blending Experience, Wine Tasting, Eddie the Eagle on Muts, and of course trivias.

I forgot to share that when we walked past the pizzeria they had something new - sandwiches and also empanadas.
