We left our B&B at noon and by 1:30 we were in our stateroom and had explored the ship enough to find a hamburger for lunch. The ship pulled out of dock around 7 PM and we are on the way to Easter Island, a five day cruise.
Sunrise at sea.
There is lots to do while we are at sea. For art lovers there are knitting classes, water color paint classes or bridge lessons. If we wanted we could learn how to use our laptops or cameras. Numerous fitness classes are offered such as pilates, yoga, spin, golf lessons, paddle tennis and much more. They have a fairly complete fitness room with connections to the steam or sauna rooms. And of course, there is the Spa for anything from facials, to pedicures, massages to acupuncture, hair cuts to keratos treatments for rich, shiney hair. We also have access to the swimming pool and hot tub or we can lounge on the aft decks in the morning sun with drink service there as well. Deck 7 is for walking - one mile is 3.7 laps. There is also outdoor fitness equipment for a complete workout.
We are on a VIP level so we have out own private butler who shines shoes, brings ice three times a day and supplied us with a liter of Jamison and a bottle of champagne. Everyday at 4:30 we find hor’dourves in our stateroom like crab claws, tuna tartar, beef tartar, shrimp cocktail, and crudités or chips and peanuts. We always have fresh fruit. Since we hadn’t done laundry for several weeks, we took advantage of the guest laundry and got our clothes pressed.
We have seven restaurants to choose from for meals, high tea every afternoon, and at least 5 bars. John likes the casino. We are entertained daily with music from piano, violin, guitar or Jazz at various times and locations, a movie theatre and the nightly stage production. On top of all that there are 2-3 lectures everyday on topics like ET, astronomy, Easter Island, and the author of the books on which the TV show “Bones” is based.
If anyone gets bored on this ship, its their own fault.
