Cruise Day 19: Sea Day


Well, day 19 arrived and it was, again a beautiful one. 

You'll notice that today's magnet says "Pirates" on it----this is another scheduling snafu.  When we originally got the schedule of events for our cruise so we could start putting together magnets, we were told that day 17 would be Villains and day 19 would be pirates....well you already know (if you've been following along on the blog) that they switched Villains on us.  They also switched Pirates night....and it got moved to Day 21 (St. Maarten)....but, of course, it was too late by then to change our magnets....

...but that's OK....nothing says "Sea Day" like Mickey Mouse decked out in his buccaneer outfit....so the magnet still works for us!! *smile*

Cruise Day 18: Day at Sea

(Note:  Another word regarding yesterday's magnet...in addition to the date being wrong on it because Disney Cruise Line rearranged the date of the Villains show...I also, when I was going back and reviewing the posts I'd submitted so far, noticed that the word "villains" is spelled wrong! (the "i" is missing).   AAAAHHHHH!!  I don't know how Jason and I missed that up to this point....but we've decided this is our excuse:  Spelling doesn't count on vacation! LOL...so file that little nugget away for a rainy day! *smile*)
OK...now back to business.  Yup it was day 18 and, you guessed it, we were still cruisin' out in the middle of the Atlantic making our way from one continent to another!  Fortunately for us----this day, unlike our magnet for the day, did not include any piracy or run-ins with Captain Hook (we wouldn't be seeing him again until the official "Pirate Night" at our next port of call, St. Maarten in the West Indies).

I hesitate to even type this so as not to jinx what little time is left of our vacation----but our weather could NOT have been better.  On our last TransAtlantic voyage, it wasn't awful...but it was a little windy and chilly and the water was definitely choppy...and, of course, we are sailing across the Atlantic and into the Caribbean now during hurricane season and reportedly dodging tropical storm fronts along the way....but the truth of the matter is you would never know it.  The sun has been out daily, we haven't seen a drop of rain on the ship since we left Gibraltar and we haven't REALLY felt the boat moving under our feet since we left the Mediterranean!   This voyage has truly been amazing.....
