Every day they change a little square of carpet in the elevator to let you know what day it is. Thank goodness for that because all of the days are just running together!
We have made a few small purchases along the promenade, well I say we but I really mean I. And have met a few people.
Angela from Colarado asked if we would mind if she joined us as we sat having a drink on the promenade yesterday, a gutsy thing to do. She would have been in her 70s and her husband Ray who is 78 was having a nap. She got her self a beer and it was a huge can of Fosters, they called it an oil can. And she drank the lot. We had a great chat and many laughs.
Then last night as we were having a drink at some other bar (they are all starting to blur in my head) a couple sat down next us and we started chatting. They were Shirley and Gene from San Francisco. And we had lots more laughs. Blow me if we didn't wind up sitting opposite each other in the show, Saturday Night Fever. This was a pretty good show with some great singing and dancing. I had forgotten though what a corny story it is.
We spent most of the day in loungers by the adult pool, well I did and Lance came and went. It was very relaxing and whilst it is warm it is not that burning sun that we get in NZ. They hauled out the paella pans again but this time cooked chilli, a mince chilli dish and it was great.
Our supper was had at Johnny Rockets. We had been to Johnny Rockets years before in Cairns and loved it. We weren't disappointed. Lance had a great burger and me a chicken salad. I managed the day with no wine. But please don't be disappointed in me as I had a pina colada, 2 gin fizz and a mojito.
Many of the passengers on board are Texan and have that Texan drawl. Some even wear big cowboy hats. People are all sorts, there are ladies with sequins and rhinestones, big hair and loads of make up, ladies who look like they just came down from the mountains and left their rocker on the porch and men who have taken a break from singing with ZZTop.
I have thought about not mentioning this as it may seem mean but I really believe that some of the people on board can't fit in the small showers. Honestly some are enormous!
We are loving this ship and wonder if we have been spoilt for using any other cruise line in the future.
First shore stop tomorrow. Honduras.
