Florida-Bahamas Cruise - Day 6 - Sea Day - 12/14/23
Today, choppy seas were the order of the day. Barf Bags were found by all the staircases, and people were complaining in the cruise forum about the rough seas. Although there is not much that the captain of the ship can do other than to try to find a calmer path to sail, newbies don’t have enough experience cruising to understand this. They don’t know what really rough seas are like, and will likely complain about the slightest problem
I decided to go to the buffet for both breakfast and lunch, and was glad I did so. There was no way I was going to get out of my cabin in time for a more formal meal, when I could get what I wanted when I wanted at the buffet. Between meals, I heard several announcements that informed passengers of activity location changes from the pool area to locations in the interior portions of the ship. With weather the way it has been for the past 24 hours, it was prudent to do this.
Since tonight is gala night, I made sure to have everything ready to go. My LBD with a zipper puller is hanging in the closet. My stockings (and a backup) are ready to be worn. And my flats (I chose not to wear heels) are out. All I needed to do was wait until 6:00 pm to dress to impress. And I couldn’t wait for this time to come, as I want some nice pictures taken of me tonight.
All too soon, I’ll have to start packing, and I’ll be sad. Even with all my negative comments about this cruise, I am enjoying it. At least, I’ll soon be at home and in my own bed with a new CPAP mask.
