Two days at sea to start out our sailing, this has to be nice for those just arriving and adjusting to the time zone. We did sleep a bit late today and took it quite leisurely. It seems like all we did that day was eat, eat, and eat some more. We did hit up an Italian lesson w/ Carlos from the entertainment staff, who ended up being one of our favorites - he also did the trivia the day before and quickly started making sure to interact with us every time we saw him. Great personality - looks and sounds a bit like Borat, which made it quite amusing.
We were going to take in Captain America in the theatre, but they ended up playing Harry Potter. Which would be great, as I hadn't seen the last movie the whole way through (never did by the end of the trip either, just bits and pieces on the TV) but it ended up being in Spanish w/o subtitles. FAIL.
Another nap today... are you sensing a theme? And then readying for the evening. It was the first formal night, so we attended the Captain's welcome aboard. It shouldn't matter, but I was quite proud to be sailing on the first cruise ship w/ a female captain and it was nice to get to see/hear her.
The new dinner table was excellent - before we even sat down we were greeted and I couldn't have been more relieved. There was two sisters w/ their husbands (a bit older), a mother/daughter, and a British couple - all who were very easy to converse with and made the rest of our dinners quite the pleasure. They were suppose to sing to Dani tonight "happy graduation" and embarrass the hell out of her, but I suspect that info didn't get transferred with out moved table, so I noted it another night w/ our wait staff and we instead embarrassed her another night.
The show this evening was an Abba cover band (AbbaMax), which was cool - but a sign of things to come. I don't feel the diversity in shows is where it normally is on this sailing, but they were mostly good performances.
