Looking around the ship today, there seems to be an inordinate number of people just laying around in the sun, For hours on end. I wish I could believe that they are all using sunblock..
Me? I just rove the lounges to find the most comfortable place to sit (chair/table/light). I am re-listening to some audiobooks (both regular & those from Graphic Audio) and stitching.
This is where I am on Fishing for Condiments – (28% of the 18k done)
Since it was a quiet day I also thought I would share a couple of pictures of my cabin. I just went for a simple, outside cabin on a lower deck. The porthole is a decent size. For 1-2 people it would be adequate, especially experienced cruisers. Look carefully; there are bumper points along the two walls and the outline of upper bunks which can be released from the ceiling. Room for 4? Not hardly.
Also under consideration is the fact that this cabin has a connecting door, something I try to avoid if at all possible, This shot is looking toward the corridor with a desk on one side and a (very) uncomfortable lounge chair on the other wall. You can see just a small part of it along with one of the cushions.
With plenty of light & power points (both plug in and USB) next to the beds, I am more than comfortable retreating here whenever the lounges feel too crowded.
Our ship’s pastor once told me about the “Melanoma Parties” on the sundeck. For hours on end, day after day, the participants, with shades varying from dark brown to fiery red, swapped stories about bits of and pieces of their bodies that they’d already lost, or would soon lose, to skin cancer.
