and at this point, I am not sure anyone has a clue about the time zone. All I am sure is that my 0600 matches the ship’s 0600 which means my favorite Barista in the whole world is up, stocked, organized and ready to produce excellent lattes.
After all – I am down to silly importances, right?
I promised ship pictures –
Ok – On Deck 8 we have the forward lounge which I shared last cruise. Then there is the Star Grill out on the deck where one can normally find lunch in good weather

and then a couple of nice chairs which provide ocean air while staying out of the sun (and plenty of room for books or cross stitch

looking down to Deck 7

is what it looks like early morning without all the people
and the deck chairs otherwise lined up.

They have some of the loveliest deck showers that I have seen.

Moving down to Deck 6 (inside now)
This is the lounge which is aft and called the Compass Rose – where all the casual evening entertainment etc is provided.

On Deck 5 is the Main Lounge (forgetting the name here) which is your standard small theater with comfortable seating, stage etc

there is the screening room used for small lectures and movies

Stitching update – another 1032 stitches and that freaking rabbit is finally done

and some late night snacks I found on return from dinner.

It’s coming along beautifully!
