Today, RQS and I were to take our second Bermuda cruise. And the day started off with us not getting enough sleep before starting to get ready for the day.

Our alarms woke us up around 7:30 - 8:00, and we proceeded to get showered, dressed, and ready to go. Both of us did some last minute packing before calling the cab that brought us to the train station. When the cab arrived, there was an old lady in the car who was being taken to the local church. Because of this detour, we missed the train we wanted to take, but barely had enough time to take the local to Grand Central.
Once at Grand Central, it was time for a bio break before taking a cab to the pier. Traffic was fouled up more than usual for a Sunday, as the ex-president was going to have a Bund Rally at MSG later in the day. Yet, we made it to the pier by 1 pm, and were on the ship by 1:30. After we dropped off our bags and checked in at the muster station, it was time for lunch in one of the main dining rooms.
After we had food in our stomachs, it was time for a nap. Now that we were rested, we relaxed in our room for a bit before going to the noodle bar for dinner. Although the food was tasty, neither of us would make it a habit of going there when on the ship. (As of 1/1/25, the restaurant will no longer be complimentary, thus creating another disincentive to go there.) And then it was on to the main theater to see a comedy show.
In the past, I remember most NCL theater shows being 60+ minutes long. Tonight's comedy performance was only 45 minutes long, and I fell asleep during the show. All I could remember was one comedian talking about defecation (he used a more vulgar word) and being bored by his act. While in the theater, RQS struck up a conversation with a solo traveler, and we proceeded to continue our chat after the show ended.
Both of us were getting tired, and we made arrangements to see our new friend again before parting. Then, it was off to bed for the two of us.

PS: There was a medical emergency that caused the ship to go back to NYC to get a passenger appropriate medical help. This will affect the time that is needed for us to reach Bermuda. Let's hope that it is only a short delay.
