Day
8 – Sunday
We roused
ourselves in time to enjoy breakfast in the Windjammer but we're so loopy from
sleep deprivation that we instead went back to the stateroom for a nap. We arrived back in the Promenade for a T-shirt
sale at 3pm. It was a madhouse when they
took the ropes down and announced that the $10 sale had begun. Seems every day
the people on this ship are becoming more like the cast of “Lord of the
Flies”. The $10 watch sale was horrible
to witness – such savagery in search of a bargain, only exacerbated by an
announcement “buy five, get one free!”
The Internet has
been down for most of the day and Pam talked with one of the officers who said
he’ll credit us back for the 3 days that we’ve not been able to log in.
Day
9 – Monday
The Lotus Land
lassitude continues - slept in again today. After talking with other passengers,
everyone speaks of how much they’ve been sleeping in due to the daily time
change. Probably doesn’t help that the average age of our fellow travelers is
somewhere north of Hillary Clinton. The
ship had another clothing sale today and Pam bought a deep pink wind
breaker for 50% off.
We watched the
flow riding surfers again today and played more mini-golf. Norm beat Pam by two
points. Pam demands a rematch tomorrow, if we can find caddies to lug our
putters around the nine hole course!
We’ve been losing
an hour nearly every day as we sail closer and closer to Europe. The Internet which was billed as “high speed”
has been either off-line or weak for most of the time. We’ve been told that it
will get better after 5pm today. We’ve
received a $45 credit, but want more! Free Johnny Rocket milkshakes daily for
the rest of the cruise. And possibly free foot rubs in the Vitality Spa. We are
waiting to hear.
