Second Day at Sea! Eat, Sleep, play trivia.

This doesn't quite show the roughness, but it was a little rocky.

Ahh, a day full of nothing!!  We headed to breakfast at the restaurant just 30 minutes before they closed.  During breakfast Bill was mesmerized by the crashing waves and wake as we sped through the sea swells.  With the ship rocking softly back and forth and side to side, some of the white capped waves were over the window (but perhaps because we tipped toward the sea).  In any case, it was cool to watch.  But Theresa was enjoying it far less and preferred not to look as it made her woozy and nauseous.  We finished just in time for the morning trivia, then Bill wrote the blog for the previous day.  Poof!  It was lunch time.  

Weird Pizza!

We went to the Italian restaurant which serves fancy special (weird) pizzas.  It was…fancy…and special…and weird.  But, we have to try new things, so… (TG Edit: It was also REALLY good wood-fired pizza)

Then it was time to take a nap!!  We got up in time to head to the afternoon trivia, and stopped to listen to (and join) the Christmas Caroling, then it was time to get ready for dinner!

"Weather is subject to Change?"  Really??  Wow.

Sure, it's pretty, but weather is subject to change! :-)

Carolers with fake snow.

I can bearly tell you what's going on here!! ;-)

Christmas Eve dinner.

Our dinner reservation was in the Steakhouse, but as Theresa noted, we will be there three times, so we don’t have to have everything the first night!  So, we paced ourselves:  Scallops and Crab cakes, then French Onion soup (with blue cheese) and Lobster Bisque, and Filet Mignon and Lobster tail, finally Apple/Rhubarb cobbler (with ice cream) and a Cheese Cake with Crème Brulé.  Phew!!  We can’t keep up that pace! 

Creme Brule Cheese Cake?

After dinner, we made it to the evening trivia (with drinks, of course)!  There was a game show to follow, but we decided to call it an early night, and grabbed a night cap on the way back to the room.
