Cruise--Day 2

On Monday we started with a HUGE breakfast then waited an hour before heading to the Spa for a workout. Yes, we even coaxed Joe into doing some cardio. After our workout, Neal, Janet and I got our swimsuits on and headed to the deck. Joe had to recuperate by taking a nap in his cabin. We ate hamburgers for lunch while watching the "hairy chest contest" by the pool.

This was our first of two very formal nights for dinner, beginning with the Captain's Welcome Cocktail Party at 5:00, then dinner at 5:45. I say "very" formal, 'cause the men had to wear suits and ties. We had to "dress" every evening for dinner. Each night we had several selections to choose from for appetizer, salad, entree and dessert. Of course, if we couldn't decide between two items, we'd just order both! Tonight lobster was on the menu and Neal had two helpings.

After dinner we did a little shopping and Janet and I both bought long-sleeved shirts, since we'd been cold since the trip began. Don't we look adorable?

Later in the evening, we went to the Main Show (a Vegas-type song & dance) then decided to check out the Karaoke Bar. It was packed, so we went to another Lounge to listen to a band and laugh at the "old" people dancing.
