Sunrise over the Alantic

From

We are not early morning people. We put out our room service order to come at 0700 hours. It came at 0645. I frantically grabbed something to put on and let them into the room. There is an order sheet that you hang out on the door between 2300 hours and 0500 hours.

I had gone a bit wild with the ordering.

From Bahamas - 2011

This is what I ordered:

Two orders of melon, two orders of citrus, two orders of toast, two orders of cereal, two orange juices, two smoked salmons, some strawberry yogurt, hot chocolate and coffee. It is not as much food as it seems.

From

Very tasty stuff. Not very much of it.

From

The melon was not ripe. This was hit and miss through the entire trip.

From

The smoked salmon was divine. My husband did not care for it. I ate his as well.

From

The toast was very soft. Barely toasted.

From

The orange juice had ice in it. I did not care for that at all.

The biggest problem was that they forgot the coffee. Tim was not functional without coffee. He did not care for the smoked salmon either. He ate his cereal and his fruit and his yogurt. We then went up to the lido for some coffee for him.

Up there, he got some scrambled eggs. I tried a bagel but it was awful. I had another plate of fruit and some hot tea as we watched the ship come into port.

As the ship came into port we could see what looked to be a derelict ship named Sea Escape sitting in the water.

From

I looked it up later but I was not finding out much. It may be a casino ship. All I know is that it was rusted out, its name was half worn off and it just looked sad.
The ship pulled smoothly into port. They are graceful, these behemoth machines. and we headed back to our room to grab our snorkel gear and change into bathing suits.

We had purchased underwater camcorders (Kodak Play Sport)and waterproof watches for the trip. We also had water proof wallets that hung around our necks to hold our ship cards and our cash. Now we would see how all of it stood up to the ocean herself.
