Boarding the cruise went much smoother than did our hotel…

And for the most part, it’s been nice. Dinner was tasty, as you expect on a cruise. Staff is generally helpful.  It seems to me that they’re trying to sell you things a lot more on this cruise than they did on the cruise Kim and I went on to Mexico.  But they’re just trying to make money.

Last night, however, there was a lounge singer almost directly below our room singing until about midnight or so. His voice wasn’t bad or anything.  Very lounge-singer-like.  It’s just that it was loud.  It was actually vibrating the bed and floor of our room.  We were kind of amazed, because from what we could see, the singer was one deck down and a little aft of our room. We couldn’t imagine that he was much louder in the lounge area.  So I went down there.

He was.

We were considering who we might call, since there was no way we were going to be able to get some sleep when he actually stopped.

We’ll find somewhere to complain today.  Honestly, when there are rooms directly above that area, he doesn’t really NEED to be that loud.

Oh yeah, and when I went down there, there was no one watching/listening to him except a crew member.  Nice, eh?

Anyway, today is a sea day, which is my favorite kind of day.  We get to walk around the ship, etc.  There are classes or seminars you can attend, and we might stop by some of the free ones, but nothing really sounded interesting.  I thought it was kind of cool that they had some Photoshop classes for people who don’t know how to use it.  Pretty basic classes, but if someone bought a digital camera for this cruise and had no idea how to use it, it’d be perfect.

Anyway, Kim and I mostly relaxed in our room once we were on board and had eaten lunch.  We didn’t get tons of great sleep in the conference room, and needed some relaxation.  :)

So this morning, I’m drinking coffee and watching Tom and Jerry while I was for my turn in the shower.  We’re going to go do something for breakfast, and walk around the ship.  My favorite.
