Day 9 Mediterranean Adventures: At Sea

We are at sea today and finally getting a day of rest. It is a totally different atmosphere when everyone is on board. We have nearly 1900 on board with a crew of 600, but not too often are we ever crowded.  There are many, many places on the ship to be entertained, to relax and do nothing, to race around the deck three  times ( one mile), or to read and watch the scenery go by. For awhile, we are still weaving in and out among the remaining Greek islands and there are small boats off the bow--seemingly far from any land.  Joyce and Lydia visit the Spa and Salon again and are pampered with a view that won't quit as well as great cosmetologists who perform miracles.

This is a formal night, so out come the nice duds, and all of us are on our best behavior. The entertainment in the Lounge is a Las Vegas type show with dancers and singers. After our lazy day at sea, we find as we turn in for the night that we gain the hour that we lost on our way to Turkey, so we should be refreshed many times over in the morning.
