This first Sunday of the cruise was a 'Sea Day'. I woke very early and watched the sunrise from the buffet area up on Deck 14. There are tables up at the very front of the ship and it is a very nice place to sit and have coffee and watch the water. There was a very well attended Interdenominational Church Service held at mid-morning. One of the Philipino crew members officiated the very nice service. We were given handouts with the songs and communal prayers that were part of it. It was genuinely nice. I was really suprised at the number of people that were there. Most every seat in the Wheelhouse Lounge was filled.
It doesn't matter where a person is... it seems that Sunday is football day.
Our games started with the Packers/Bears game at noon ~ out by the pool/jacuzzi and on the 'big screen'. There were many that just napped and soaked up the sun while others of us actually hid in the shade and rooted for the best plays. Then we grabbed up the Charger/Cowboy game and there was some very, very spirited rooting going on there!! Keith came up on deck during the Charger game and watched much of it in his favorite place ~ the jacuzzi~ The Grill, the Pizza stand, and of course the Ice Cream Spot were open for munchies all during the games. During the Charger game there was also a very, very lively game of water volleyball played that was a lot of fun to watch! I very much was enjoying my afternoon!
Then we went on to the Eagle/Giant game that lasted way into our night! I made a trip into the Horizon Court Buffet and came out with plates filled with the Mexican Food Specialities of the day. What a day!
We watched football until late into the night and then went to bed in preparation for my much looked-forward to day in Costa Rico!
