At Sea

            Friday, 2 March 2018 – Neither of us slept well last night, with the result that we slept through breakfast this morning – but since we knew we’d be eating a big meal tonight, that was OK!  At 12:00 noon since we happened to walk into the Terrace Café at the same time as Helma and Rich, we sat with them, continuing to talk until after 2:15 PM.

Later, we swam for a half hour and then, as pre-arranged, met up with Christina and Spiro in the Polo Grill at 6:30 PM.  Although we’ve eaten in the Grand Dining Room six times and the Tuscana twice, this was our first time in the Polo Grill.  (These specialty restaurants cost extra on other cruise ships – so that we have never eaten in them on previous cruises.)  At least, we didn’t overeat in the Polo Grill, and we liked the food.  Nevertheless, dinner takes much longer at a sit-down dinner with many courses.  Tonight we finished at about 8:15 so were able to dance at 8:45, as we usually do.
