2015 Western Caribbean Cruise - Day 3 (Day at Sea)

Food, food, food...food everywhere.  It is pretty crazy.  In all cases, we have had our option to do buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner or you can sit down in their nice dining hall and be served.  During non-meal times, you can always find lots of food.  Ice cream is also available constantly...soft serve or hard ice cream.  On various decks, you can find pastry bars where you can grab a pastry.  So yummy!

We got up slowly today and met for  breakfast around 9:00 AM in the dining hall.  We were there for about 1.5 hours slowly eating and just visiting.  At 10:45 AM, they held a galley tour which was pretty amazing.  I think this boat has ovet 1200 people involved in food production alone.   I think they prepare 15,000 meals a day on the boat.  Neza would love to see such production.

After the tour, it was time to eat again!  :-)  We did lunch in the buffet.  When we were done, we went to the game room and played games for an hour or so.  We played 5 Crowns which was really fun.  At 3:00 PM, the Packers vs. Seahawks game was on.  We watched a bit of the first half. More Packer fans than Seahawk fans...which was great.  We left at about half time to go play some more games and then get ready for dinner.  But before we did that, I went back to check the score.  It was 19-7 with 3 minutes left to go and the Packers were winning.  Game in the bag, right?!  I left to go get ready for dinner.  After dinner I came back to see what the Patriots and Colts score was and to find out the score of the Packer game....they lost!!!  I about fell on the floor.  I could not believe it.

Dinner was yummy.  We get two of everything.  The portions are fairly small...so no big deal.  Denise has ordered well each night.  She had some beef tenderloins last night which was so good.  I had blackened salmon with a BBq sauce on it.  It was ok.  We have not been disappointed with the food at all on the Celebrity.

After dinner, we went to the 'show' of the evening.  They had people start it off that could fold themselves every which way...so flexible.  Kind of like me.  :-)  After these folks, the captain of the ship came out and introduced his crew.  It is a huge staff that he oversees.  He is from Greece.  After his presentation, the show began.  It was a cast of dancers and singers doing Broadway and Popular musicals songs.  They were really quite good.  I really liked it.  Following the show, we departed to our rooms ready to get some sleaap and hit Cozumel running.

It was a great day at sea...restful, filling and fun.
