Our second sea day, and our last full day aboard ship. The weather report was not promising -- cold and rainy all day.
We started our morning with room service. And then it was time for the All Access Tour.
We'd done the Carnival Behind the Fun tour when we were on the Valor, and we wanted to see how Royal Caribbean does things.
We were a small group, maybe 13 of us. The tour took us through the galley, storage areas, engineering, the laundry, the backstage areas of the ice rink and the theater, and finally up to the bridge. Department head explained how the various functions of the ship are run.
Yes, those are windshield wipers on the windows of the bridge. We met Captain Toni Calne. The captain told us this weeks' weather was the worst he had seen in the Caribbean in ages, so bad that he was contemplating port changes for the next cruise to avoid bad weather.
After the tour we headed to the dining room for lunch. I wish I could tell you what I had for lunch...but I took a few bites, then excused myself and headed back to my cabin with a pounding headache.
Two Advil and a long nap later, we headed to the lounge for some Harry Potter trivia. Kind of wished my daughter, the Harry Potter expert, had been with us for that one.
We picked up some snaks from the coffee shop and headed back to the cabin to ...sigh...pack.

Lunch main dining room. Great food. Headache. Nap. Harry potter trivia. Snacks from coffee shop.
Our last dinner aboard ship. Earlier in the day, the chef told us that tonight's special would be fried fish. Of course I had to try it, along with the French onion soup. The Pirate King opted for the scallops appetizer and lamb shank entree. I had key lime pie for dessert, he had the strawberry souffle. We were both feeling a bit drained, and stuck to Coke instead of cocktails
the evening's entertainment was provided by comedian Jimmy Carol. frist he did a family-friendly show, which included a performance by the ship's singers and dancers. Later he did an adult show, which was just slightly risque.
We ended the eveing on the balcony, enjoying the wet and windy weather.
