Caribbean Cruise Trip Report: Day 4

Day 4:

The third day of the cruise was a sea day. I had a busy day scheduled for myself and got through almost everything!  Here is my to-do list from that day:
  • Sunrise (6am)
  • Breakfast in Main Dining Room (8am)
  • Meet & Mingle (10am)
  • Bingo (11am)
  • Lunch at Izumi (12pm)
  • Relax in the Solarium (1-2pm)
  • Martini Class (3pm)
  • Wine Tasting (4pm)
  • Dinner (5:30pm)
  • Comedy Show (9pm)
  • Love & Marriage Game Show (10:30pm)

See how I had to schedule in time to relax in the afternoon?  No wonder I was exhausted when I got back from my vacation!

First I woke up around 6am to watch the sunrise from my balcony. I had figured out ahead of time that there would only be two days when I could see the sunrise from the comfort of my cabin, so I made it a point to wake up early on this day so I could watch the sunrise without having to leave my room.  After the sun was up I showered and got dressed so that I could go eat breakfast in the main dining room.

After breakfast I went to the Cruise Critic Meet & Mingle. I talked to a few people who seemed friendly, but didn't make a strong connection to anyone. After that I went to bingo and didn't win anything.  I knew I wanted to play at least once, so I was able to cross that off my list!

By that time I was ready for lunch, so I went to Izumi for sushi.  They didn't have many fish-free options on the menu, but thankfully they were willing to make me a vegetable roll, which was really good. Once I was done eating I was ready to chill out & relax, so I headed to the Solarium. Unfortunately there weren't many spots open, so I moved to a few different chairs before finding a good spot. I guess I wasn't in the mood to relax because after a short time of sitting still I was up and moving around again. I went to get some soft serve ice cream and then headed back to my room.

When I got to my room I changed and went to the Rising Tide Bar for a lesson on making martinis. It was a really cool experience because I learned some really good martini recipes and I was able to be in a cool bar at the same time.  The Rising Tide Bar is a moving bar that rises three stories to end up in Central Park, almost like a big elevator that serves drinks.  Altogether it was a really unique experience and I'm happy I did it!

Next I had planned to go to the wine tasting at Vintages, but it turned out I needed a reservation.  I ended up signing up for another one later that week. Instead of doing the wine tasting I spent some time at the casino before dinner. I ate with some more nice couples and then relaxed in the room for a little bit before my evening activities. At 9pm I saw the comedy show and at 10:30 I watched the Love & Marriage game show. Then I went back to the casino and turned $35 into $95. I called it at night after midnight.

At the comedy show I tried a Love Connection drink for the first time. It's strawberry daiquiri, pina colada, and mango daiquiri all layered into one drink! Very good but also very sweet!

Coming up on tomorrow's report is my champagne catamaran sail in St. Thomas.  Would I be brave enough to try snorkeling for the first time ever?  Keep reading to find out!
