November 13, 2015 (Friday the 13th)

Now what day of the week is it?  Out in the ocean you forget which day of  the week it is.  On one cruise line they even put carpet on the elevator’s floor with the day of the week but not on this line.

As best I can tell it is Friday but don’t test me.

All blue water all day is the motto for today.  Sunny, low 80’s with just a cotton ball or two in the sky.  Our balcony is perfect for just hanging out but for Terrie it is the walking deck and the sun deck.  For me it is catch up day on e mail and things needing attention.  Regrettably I can think of anything that takes my attention.  Vacation is working. 

As I said before you spend the days planning meals.  We have enjoyed the main dining area and the flood aboard has been excellent but there are two specialty restaurants on board.  An Italian one  called Sabatini and a steak house called The Crown Grill.  For just a small up charge you get an even better level of food than served in the dining room.  Reservations are required so if you ever fine yourself cruising be sure and try these specialty places. 

Sabatini’s was really wonderful Italian food.  Terrie and I both chose the lobster three ways along with a great starter and pasta.  All this with top notch service is a much more personal atmosphere.  We brought along a wonderful Amarone from the Masi vineyard to top off a real night out. 

We also got reservations at the Crown Grill one evening.  A lobster starter, a fresh salad and a 22 ounce Porterhouse was the order for me.  Terrie settled for the filet.  Way tender and cooked just right. 

So as I said before I think sea days are eating festivals which makes sea days just perfect.
