I am awaked by an announcement from the captain. Our arrival at Coco Cay has been delayed several hours due to the medical evacuation the previous evening. We are cruising at 20 knots in an attempt to reduce our late arrival as much as possible. He also shares the transfer was successful and the passenger is recovering.
By 10 AM many passengers have left for the beaches, but the Windjammer is still packed. We head to Giovanni's for breakfast. An area reserved for Pinnacle guests. Historically just a seating area during breakfast hours, but now a full service breakfast area just for me. Food and service is excellent, and the room is nearly empty. Probably undiscovered by other priority status members.
I elect to remain on the ship. Somehow in the past few days I have twisted my right knee. Extra walking is not the prescription for quick healing.
With nearly everyone on the prvate island, the Windjammer is nearly empty for lunch. I put together the ingredients to make a ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich.
Temperatures are in the mid 80's, cooler than back home in Florida. Some time on the balcony, more time in the Crown Lounge, and some time sitting by the solarium pool and the day quickly passes.
Tonight is formal night for dinner. I was even convinced to wear my suit, a rare event. I drew the line at flip flops though. My flip flop bow tie that is, compliments of Marilyn a number of cruises ago.
A short conversation with the head waiter as I get to our table. He is very aware of the problems the previous night before a word is spoken. He was observing as he should, that is part of his job.
Everyone is nicely dressed. Top award goes to Greg in his Army dress uniform. Very sharp.
Both the food and the service was much better tonight than the first. With about an hour before the production show, many group pictures are in order. Face it, it is rare that I wear a suit.
The singers and dancers were good, but I will concede I may have dozed once or twice during the performance.
It is a short hop to Nassau, our port of call tomorrow.
