Two Days @ Sea

(I wrote and posted this on 4 January … but with no cell tower connection, I think FindPenguins might be getting its waypoint timing from whatever satellite provides wi-fi connectivity when we are at sea. So timing is off.)

I said I wouldn’t use “fast” to describe how quickly days at sea go by for us. So, I’ll just say that these two days cruising north along the coast of Central America went by in a speedy fashion. 🤪

Yesterday was a socially active day — lunch with fellow RTWers Marguerite & Conor; dinner with fellow RTWers Margaret & Kevin; an excellent encore show from Nestor Santurio to wrap up.

Today was a low key day — massages to start off; chilling wherever I could find shade around the ship (the deck 5 promenade was closed due to high winds; the veranda was in the sun all afternoon); an excellent Red Ginger night at the Terrace Café to wrap up. No show for us tonight … not only is it a repeat production show, but we have an early tour tomorrow morning so we need to get our beauty sleep.

For those not familiar with Red Ginger, this is a very popular specialty restaurant on some of the Oceania ships. It has an Asian-inspired menu. Insignia does not have this restaurant onboard, so every once in a while, the menu is served at the Terrace Café … usually on two consecutive nights since it is extremely popular with the passengers. In the past, I have not been a fan of the food served in this format [though I do love going to the restaurant itself when we are on Marina or Riviera]. But tonight it was excellent.Read more
