The skies are mostly sunny with an occasional passing cloud. There are some swells in the ocean which constantly roll the ship from side to side about 2 or 3 degrees despite the best efforts of the stabilizers. The adult pool is closed all day, either because of the sloshing water or some other cause.
Breakfast in the main dining room is good. Two pancakes are enough.
During the day the usual assortment of trivia, archery, golf, pickleball etc.
Just as the officers enter the pool for the officers vs, guest volleyball game, the skies open up with a brief but heavy downpour. Everyone scatters except the officers in the pool. The match is cancelled until a future date.
Celebrity often has a lecture series. On this trip the subject is Buddhism - the life of Buddha. A subject I know little about. The speaker is not only knowledgeable but very articulate. An excellent speaker with an interesting subject. The series continues with 4 different presentations throughout the cruise.
Unlike Royal, there are no appetizers during cocktail hour in the sky lounge. The only option is a combination of corn, pretzels and other salty snacks. A combination I haven't encountered before. The corn kernels taste very good, but we have concern that they may be rancid and will resist them for the remainder of the cruise.
Dinner is pasta with apple pie for desert. Yes real pie not the substitute Royal has.
The ship continues with a slight roll, the weather near perfect. A little cooler than Florida has been in recent weeks. Since leaving Port Everglades we have been cruising at just under 21 knots. About as fast as they can run this ship, barring an extreme emergency.
Tomorrow afternoon we are due to arrive in San Juan.
