Oddly it was me that woke late – to the sound of Rebecca
knocking on my door at 8am – as agreed.
No time for dilly dallying as we were booked for a boxing
lesson!

| Melon carving at Windjammers |
Rebecca had a quick snack at Windjammers buffet before we
went. Both of us are still feeling
jetlagged in that we don’t know when to eat etc.
We arrived early so decided to go for a jog around the
boat. To Rebecca’s disgust I stopped
after one lap (1/3 km). Then inside to
play on the impressive gym equipment, before the lesson.
The lesson was good!
Our instructor is called Chris who has has an intriguing
accent – however I’m too shy to peer at his pecs where his name badge with
nationality resides. It is clear however
that every buffed inch of Chris shrieks personal trainer!
Rebecca was the star of the show with not only Chris
impressed, but passers by watching with awe as she launched into it. It was even suggested that she take up a
position as trainer!

I kept my end up, with the main failing forgetting left from
right J
After a super quick shower (even Rebecca) we went to a
trivia quiz on Broadway music – and failed badly L.

| Trivia bar (Schooners) |
Then we booked our Labadee (Haiti) excursions, forsaking the
80km an hour zip line (we were seriously tempted) and choosing instead a
walking tour and coaster ride.
We found out that there are a lot of cruisaholics with some
people staying for weeks/months on the ships and not even getting off at the
ports!
Lunch at Windjammers next and then Rebecca rested (poor thing)
while I did yesterday’s blog. I hope you
guys appreciate these as they do take time and wifi dollars!

| Genius at work |
After that was a cupcake making session (Rebecca’s choice)
which was surprisingly (for me) fun. It
turns out that cupcakes are a big thing in the States. In case you can’t work it out they are meant
to be puppies with their tongues hanging out.
I didn’t eat mine...
The next event was a photo- scavenger hunt. We were in a team of 6 and all of us had to
run around the boat and get photos of the whole team with various
scenes/objects – hopefully funny ones.
We did well, but we had to be patient given that we were the fastest
ones.

I should probably note that it appears contrary to the
travel agent advice, Rebecca cannot have alcohol, so I’m now being quasi-good
in support.

| My masterpiece |
We thought we’d book in a spa treatment for me and a hair
appointment for Rebecca on the last day (sailing only, no port). Somehow we ended up having them there and
then.
Rebecca’s hair looks beautiful as she did, dressed up for
the formal evening. The cruise took
formal photos of us, but I regret I don’t have one for the blog.
A lovely meal followed – just the two of us.

| Game show theatre |
Quick detour afterwards to call our partners and then off to
a game show. Left early as a little
tiresome, but still back after 11.
So a relatively busy day – again with lots of walking and
stairs. It’ll be interesting to see what
we weigh we get back.
