A QUIET DAY AT SEA ON THE ATLANTIC

MSC Divina / At Sea--Atlantic Ocean

Friday

76F, sunny

The last two full days of the cruise are very lazy without a lot to report. TK and I had breakfast with a couple from Cincinnati, Ohio who stay the over the winter in Marathon Keys on their boat. I would be willing to do that if the boat looked like the one we saw yesterday with the helipad. The couple said that they were dissatisfied with the cruise, the food, and so on. This cruise does have a European flavor and I do prefer simpler food, but I think the crew is friendly and tries to please. Several nights the show has been an opera or operatic singing, but we enjoyed the Queen tribute immensely. There are many things to do on the ship other than the main show.

After breakfast I read for hours on the balcony. Because of the ship’s direction, it was shady all day and the sound of the waves was musical to my ears.   TK returned from his exploring and observations and reported that he thought all 4000+ passengers were on Deck 14 by the pool and buffet area. That convinced us to have lunch at the pizzeria outside the Eataly Restaurant on Deck 7. No one else seemed to be there and we happily paid $8 for a handmade, brick oven baked four cheese pizza.

Tonight is another elegant night and we are invited to a Divina party afterwards. Party people that we are!

TK’s Takes: He can tell it is toward the end of the cruise as he is seeing more injured people. I am going to include a photo he took while wandering around the ship this morning. I think it speaks for itself.
