Lynn is up at 6:30 having breakfast. She, Adrienne, and Steve have a guided walking tour of the city beginning at 8:30. It is probably a half hour walk to the starting point so they are off early.
I again will stay on board.
During the night there was some rain, but by morning the skies are clear. The Carnival Vista is front of us, and an AIDA ship tied up in the channel. Too far away to read her name.
Only 4 people in Chops for breakfast today. Either my timing was good or others wen't elsewhere. Most passengers are off the ship, and the public spaces are pretty empty.
Workers are chipping paint in the kids pool. Maintenance is never ending. For a ship that is 15 years old she has been maintained fairly well, but is showing her age. The balcony doors are very difficult to open, the seals are shot and the handles are loose. Not minor things to fix.
The adjustable shower head holder is no longer adjustable. Maintenance has had to over tighten it just to keep it in place. Some areas of the ship have a musty odor. Probably the result of prior plumbing leaks. The crew is trying to address it, but so far not successfully.
I spend some time in the Solarium until the sun gets too warm.
Eliza has come down with something, and spends most of the day in bed with a fever.
Tiger spends most of the afternoon in the kids splashing area.
The walking tour was a success. The guide was good. All are back on the ship by midafternoon.
Dinner is a spicy pork chop. Eliza remains in the cabin so her father takes dinner back to the room for her.
Entertainment tonight is sparse. We try to listen to Jazz in Central Park, but are quickly driven inside by the rain. Tomorrow is another day.
The next two days will be sea days as we head to Coco Cay, Royal's private island.
