Yesterday we watched a movie on the big screen. I have to warn you. If you take in a show at the main theaters, bring your winter jackets. We froze. After dinner we watched the Super Bowl on the numerous televisions in the ice rink. It was an exciting game with a sad ending. The funny thing is, it was warmer there than it was in the theater.
I have to admit, I like Royal Caribbean better than some of the other cruise lines but the staterooms are smaller. The staff on this ship is mixed nationality and while they have been very attentive I have had to straighten out a couple of issues they have overlooked in there care of our needs.
The ship is spotless and like all cruise lines there is continuous maintenance going on. There are announcements every few ours announcing a painting auction here or a wine tastings or cooking class there.
We have a couple of friends along on this trip and they are a couple of practical jokers.
Today we spent the day in Labadee which is Royal Caribbeans private island, in Haiti. It has beautiful beaches but is rocky - water shoes are very useful here. Wheelchairs are available to take people onto the beach and a trams runs from the ship to the end although it is only a 20 minute walk. Royal Caribbean offers lots of water sports here, a long zip line and even a roller coaster but for me it was the perfect day to just sit in a beach chair and watch the waves and enjoy the sun
