The Christmas tree, the true sign that holiday season is coming. On the QM2, the ship's staff is quietly installing Xmas decorations, and this tree "magically" popped up just after Thanksgiving.
Now that we're halfway to our first port, the weather outside seems to be getting a little warmer. Or, this is how it felt next to a window in the dining room, where RQS had to take off her sweater to feel comfortable. Could it be that we finally have a sunny day? Maybe. But I think it's because we've gone South enough for the ship to start warming up from the outside in.
Our alarms got us moving around 7:45, and I was the first one in the shower. Surprisingly, we were both ready to go to breakfast a little early. When we arrived at Breakfast, there were several people waiting to escort people to their tables. We were seated near a window, and could feel the warmth from the outside, now that we are in warmer climes.
While I was typing in the basis for this blog entry, RQS went outside (while it was still dry) to do her walk around the promenade deck. I figured that I'd then continue work on my cruise blog, and started to slice and dice things to make the other blog more useful. Things such as Cunard's wonky app had to be described, and I had to dedicate an entire section to Cunard's wonky technology.
Around 6 pm, we went for dinner, and had our hits and misses as usual. Out of the 3 main dishes we ordered, only my lamb dish passed muster. The chicken dumplings had no taste, while the chicken with Moroccan spices was a little too far out there for RQS's taste.
It felt like we had a long day - only because we were up since 7:30 am. I can only imagine how we'll be feeling in St. Maarten, as we'll be out in the tropical sun for several hours.
