Sea Day and some sunshine

Day 2 of the cruise and a sea day. Woke up to nice weather, warm but not hot. Some clouds but not too many. High of 24/25C expected. Can't complain one little bit.

OK, one complaint, there is a little breeze, which with motion made it quite windy while we ate breakfast outside. Not a problem until I opened a cereal minibus, and the wind carried Special K across the deck under another (thankfully unoccupied) table. 🌬🥣🙈

Sea days are always lazy days, a bit of napping, a bit of reading, a bit of eating, and a lot of visiting places on the ship to satisfy our personal obsessions.

We got into Haunted Mansion Parlor just after it opened at lunchtime, and had a drink each before lunch. Heath again kindly obliged by having a souvenir ceramic cup drink, and i had a cocktail and ordered the Hatbox Ghost sipper for taking home. Yes, I am that obsessed🤩. 💸

We only went for a light lunch, salad and ice cream for me, because we have the fancy restaurant tonight, so need ro be on top eating form at 6pm.

After eating, we happened to end up in a shop, and bought a few things, only 4 pins, the Aladdin atrium statue (to join our collection of atrium statues from all the other 5 ships), a shirt each and a Christmas ornament. Quite restrained for me.

We dropped the treasures off in the room, and as we walked down the corridor to our room a guy that looked familiar walked the other way. By the time I clocked who I thought it might be, he'd disappeared. I said to Heath, I think that was Walter, of Walter and Eugene from a previous cruise. He misheard me and thought I said Walter and Jean, and he was confused because we are seeing Walter and Jean next week at Disney World and he was like, they know we're on the Treasure, surely they would have said something? Anyway, confusion resolved and we concluded it might have been the Walter I thought it might have been, so we'd have to look out for them around the ship.

Heath wanted to go to the open house at the Star Wars bit of the kids club. We got there, found out there was a show in a bit, so I took him to a different shop so I could pick up the Haunted mansion clock that I wanted. More treasure put in the room, and we went to the show at the kids club open house. I should stress the open house is intended for adults to go to to experience the cool kids spaces on the ship, as well as for families to go and enjoy together.

Anyway, the show was Rey teaching us to use the force, and guess what some stormtroopers turned up so we could practice for reals. Some of the kids were hilarious and really got into it. No comment on the adults.

By this point it was definately time to have a rest in the room. There's important eatings in the evening.

Heath took over the bed while I sat on the verandah enjoying the sunshine and fresh air.

As the sun started to go down, we opened the blue apple drink that came out in the room amenity from yesterday. Yes, it's blue. But really tasty, like a old fashioned cloudy apple juice with bubbles and swirly sparkly cloud in it.

It was pretty quickly time for dinner, so we headed off to Enchanté and you can see all the yummy food pictures in the Enchanté footprints.

After dinner, we were pretty stuffed, so went back to the room to change into less constrictive clothes. Our room host had done evening turn down even though we'd had an early dinner, and we chilled for a bit. It appeared we didn't have a towel animak and we were very disappointed. After a while, it became clear that I was too tired to go back out, so Heath went off to watch a Indiana Jones comedy show, and I got ready for bed. Then i found the towel animal. It was a little mouse hiding on the shelf with Heath's hat and sunglasses case. Disappointment abated!

I'm just about to jump into bed and Heath came back to tell me he'd just been talking to Walter and Eugene and we're seeing them tomorrow for music trivia. So it was the Walter I'd thought I'd seen. Considering the coincidences of bumping into Nicole and Shelley in September, and being coincidentally booked on this cruise same as them, it was so strange that another couple we'd met before were also on board. It really is a small world after all.

After delvering the message about plans at 4.15pm the day after, Heath then went back to watch the Indy show, I went to sleep and next time I saw him was in the middle of the night when I woke up. I'd entirely slept through him coming in. 💤💤💤Læs mere
