Day 2 at Sea

Well here we are near the end of our second day at sea, and all is well with the world. sort of. The good news is that the Prinsendam is wonderful, the crew terrific, and the food excellent. And we have made a pack with each other that we will not use an elevator the entire cruise. Which means we are using the "STAIRS".

We are on deck 6, the main dining room is on deck 7, and the Lido (buffet line) is on deck 11. As we eat breakfast and lunch at the Lido, that means a climb of 100 steps to get there. Coming down is not so bad, but the climb up is interesting to say the least. But, we are determined and by the time these 50 days are past we should be able to run up them (well, maybe not run, but walk up without stopping anyway).

The toilet in or room is giving us and the poor plumbers a major problem. It seems it likes to fill up all on its own and then overflow onto the floor. But only at night. After midnight. We are on first name basis with the plumber. And the young lady at the front desk.

Sharon and I have pretty much decided that if it does it again, we are going to ask if there are any other rooms available.

Tonight was the first formal night. We didn't go as the tux I had pre-ordered and paid for never made it to the ship. And I didn't bring any thing that I could wear in it's place. But that's not really a big deal as the same meals are served in the Lido. just very disappointing.

I still haven't been able to get a picture to upload, and am going to try a couple of other things tomorrow while we are in Gustavia our first port of call.

The seas are still moderate, running 4-7 feet, the temperature is in the low 80's, the sun is shining, and all is good.

Cheers!
