Bermuda Triangle Cruise 2026 - Sea Day #3 (04/22/26)

 


There is something nice about waking up to a nice sunrise while at sea.  Although the sun is not visible in the picture above, it is bright, and the cabin was fully illuminated.  There was no way for us to stay asleep.  Both of us were up before 6:15 - something rare for two people who are rarely out of bed before 9, except for bio-breaks.

Neither of us got moving until 8 am, and we ended up waiting an hour before we could have Brunch at the Wake.  While there, we enjoyed another filling meal, and had another nice chat with people sitting at nearby tables.  (I'm going to hate looking at the scale when I get home.)

I can't say too much about what we did until dinner.  Both of us needed to rest, and RQS hung out in the hammock on our balcony, while I edited some things for my cruise blog.  After that, I decided to rest for a while, trying to catch up on some needed sleep.

For dinner, we went back to the Test Kitchen, where we had some artistic food dishes.  This time, I enjoyed the selections more than the lat time we ate there, as smoked salmon was one of the 3 appetizers, while a lamb chop was the main course. Once done with dinner, it was off to one of the lounges to listen to some music.  Sadly, seating in the area left much to be desired.  But the music made the effort to reach the lounge worthwhile.

Sometimes, one doesn't have a lot to say about a cruise day.  And this was one of those days.

Bermuda Triangle Cruise 2026 - Bermuda Day #2 (04/19/26)


Yesterday, I supplied the cipher.  Today, I supply the quote.  Can you tell me what this wall says?

Again, we didn't start moving until 11 am, and this didn't leave us much time to do anything in Bermuda before the ship was scheduled to leave at 3 pm (ship time).  If the crew hadn't planned to clean the balconies this morning, we would have left the drapes open and let the sun wake us up.  Instead, we had a good healthy sleep - something I usually need very much.  When we finally got up, we decided NOT to walk to a local store where I could buy some jewelry for my Marian presentation.  Given how slow things were going when we went upstairs, we decided to stay on the ship until we reach Nassau.   

For a bit of the day, RQS rested on the balcony hammock, and then we went for dinner at The Wake (the steakhouse on this ship.)  The food was excellent, but I was too full from earlier eating to appreciate everything put in front of me.


I'm glad that I didn't order this seafood dish - it was $85 extra, but well worth it.  The gentleman who ordered it had cruise credits to burn, and he shared the food with a nearby table.  RQS wouldn't have accepted his offer, but I might have done so at another time - I was way too full from lunch to finish what I had already ordered.  But this gave me the opportunity to share my cruise blog's business cards with several people.  Hopefully, they will enjoy what they see.

After dinner, we walked down to "Sailor Services" (the purser's office) to get a shore excursion ticket printed for Charleston.  And then, it was back to the cabin for the evening. 

 

 

Lunch with Short Vicki, and dinner with RQS

  No, I didn't order a "Hot Dog" for lunch.  But the menu I had for lunch wasn't what we planned.... - - - - - - Vicki and...
