Coming Home: Nov. 14-Nov. 19, Sea Days

Didn't quite make it.

After La Palma we began our trans-Atlantic crossing in earnest with 6 full days at sea to make the crossing. Our first day at sea was quite rough with large swells tossing the ship back and forth. Upper outside decks were closed and sick bags were provided all over the place. Luckily the weather improved every day and towards the Bahamas it was mirror-like calm seas. We engaged in many activities including mini-golf, eating, shuffle board, eating, hot tub, eating, massages, eating, ice skating, eating and eating. We played “Name That Tune Trivia” every day and Courtney rocked it earning us many key chains and other Royal Caribbean crap.  We ended up teaming up with an older New Yorker couple who wore matching shirts, and a down to earth couple from Texas, but Courtney pulled most of the weight for the team.

We saw many different shows including Beatles and Elton John impersonators, a pick-pocket who stole David’s underwear on stage, ice dancing, Broadway and pop tributes from the Royal Caribbean singers and dancers, a disco parade, a violinist, the Love and Marriage game show and many more.
