2 Lazy Days at Sea 5/23 and 5/24



Carmen here…
We haven’t done too much the last couple of days.  Yesterday, the seas continued to be bad.  High winds and high swells resulted in the closure of some of the main decks and most stuff outside being tied down.  No one is outside unless it is to grab some food from the outdoor eateries. I feel so bad for all the crew that has to work outside in these conditions.  Anyway, we stayed inside all day yesterday and attended another Stacia Martin presentation.  The winning seat for one of her sketches was next to Jarrod but was empty.  There was a trivia question and Jarrod (nor anyone in our generation probably lol) knew it so the sketch went to the lady on the other side.  

The show for the evening was Susan Egan, the original Belle from the Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast.  Her show was fabulous!  She sang a few songs from Broadway along with some Disney classic songs. She also voiced Meg from Disney’s Hercules and she sang her song from it too.

Our room continued to creak like CRAZY!!!  We informed guest services yesterday and they said that the whole ship was creaking. Yes… we agreed but our room was terrible!!!! Try sleeping in a 210 square foot room with constant creaking right over your head.  So again, not much sleep last night.

Woke up this morning very agitated due to waking up over and over and over.  Visited guest services again and this time they sent 2 people to our room. They agreed that the creaking was extremely out of the norm and should not be this loud and constant even with the sea conditions we have been experiencing.  They have given us another room to sleep in but don’t want to move us permanently since there are currently no open rooms on our next cruise L  Hopefully they can isolate the issue and fix it within the next 5 days.

The seas have definitely calmed this afternoon and they said that we should have much smoother sailing from here on.

Thankfully had a chance to take a nap in the new room and I slept SO good!  Afterwards, we got ready for dinner and had another fun evening of family portraits and just hanging out together. It was “Frozen” night so we had a Norwegian themed dinner. We all tried wild boar and it was delicious!


Well, it’s 11 P.M. and the sun just went down in the last 30 minutes. Looking forward to the first peaceful night sleep in 5 nights!
