Thanksgiving Cruise Day 2 Monday



Our port yesterday was Key West. I’d never been there. We just walked around looking at the shops and houses. Only place we went in was a small restaurant where we sat on the porch overlooking the street and watched people go by.

I haven’t done a darn thing on board except go to dinner and read. I’m already almost finished with the first of 3 books I checked out.

Dinner last night was chilled peach soup, eggplant and cherries jubilee.

We’re headed in to Cozumel today and again nothing planned. Might get a taxi and head to a beach or Chakanaab National Park.

Everybody’s having a great time, as always people do on a cruise ship. Nuke and Steve are both night owls so they’ve been closing down the bars and casino each night so far.

Last night I stayed up till 10:30.

Parrrrty!

Odds and Ends

Nuke and my cabin has 2 beds and a small sofa.

Each bed has 2 pillows. The sofa has 2 small bolster pillows arranged at each end (total =4). Plus, there are 2 huge oversize pillows that sort of drift around where needed. By oversize, each is the size of those huge pillows you can use to sit on the floor. Plus there are 2 of those 'back' pillows that you can slip behind your back while sitting on the sofa or in bed reading. Total? 12 pillows in this small little room.

Very cozy and comfy.

Wake Up Call



I use breakfast room service as my wake up call.

Each night I fill out the door tag for coffee, juice and a fruit plate with a 0700 delivery time.

They call about 10 minutes before they deliver so that serves as a great wake up call.

(Although I still wake up naturally before the call.)

RCCL does it right. Instead of a tiny caraf for 2 - they send up a full size caraf. I'm on my second cup as I write this entry. Decaf - even in the morning. Otherwise - with this much coffee, I'd be buzzing all day.

Nuke likes it because I turn down the phone ringer so it doesn't wake him. But when he does wake up - he's got coffee right there waiting for him.

Spoiled farker.

Key West is one of my favorite places :)
Have stayed there and stopped there. Once when we were passing a store owner surveying the throngs of tourists staggering from the ship, he wryly commented: "Over fed, and nearly dead."
