Port Canaveral - a place where "there's no 'there' there." It's a short distance to the Kennedy Space Center, and 90 minutes from Florida's theme parks. But it's not a place to visit in its own right.

We decided to get up late and go to the buffet for breakfast. this would have not been an issue for us, save that there was an emergency drill starting, and that the Watertight Doors had to close for part of the drill. So, when we started walking to the elevator bank (about 0.1 km away), we had to hurry up before the doors closed.
Arriving at the buffet, only a small section was open to us both due to the closed watertight doors and due to the transition from breakfast to lunch service. It was not the breakfast either of us would have wanted, but it was the one we got. The omelet station was running out of eggs. There was almost no bacon left for me to grab. But the soda stations were open! So, this wasn't a totally wasted meal.
Shortly after we got back to our cabin, the emergency drill ended. RQS went outside to work on her art, while I decided to rest again. (I had a bad sleep last night.)

Around 6:30 pm, we went to dinner. Sadly, it was one of the most disappointing dinners I've ever had on a cruise ship. NCL's food and service quality has gone down since the last time we cruised this line. We noted that even MSC's dinners were better than the dinner we had tonight. Not only was the soup below the standard set by Progresso's canned Pasta and Bean Soup, but my local "red sauce joint" serves a better Cannoli. To make things worse, the after dinner coffee was served lukewarm, so much so, that we had to go to the buffet to have a hot cup of decaf.
