rough seas for awhile : 7 – 12 ft swells. The gentle rolls make it difficult to balance at my 9 am yoga class, but otherwise we don’t notice much. Gerry works for the morning, I take in a 10 am seminar in the fitness room on detox and weight loss. It is very similar info to the book I am reading called Balance, written by a lady from Halifax. Not the right book to read on a cruise…! The instructor Allysa has just graduated from U of S, so will have to catch up to her later. I meet Gerry at an 11 am session on shopping tips for our first 2 ports, but it is all about buying jewellery at the shops that Holland America has deals with! I attend free Bingo to try to win prizes, one card each, and several other free draws, but we win….nothing!
Dinner on our 2nd night is formal night and we dine at the Vista lounge and are seated with 6 others, 2 ladies from NY, 2 ladies from Oakville and a couple from Sydney, BC. Lots of great banter and chatter, a lively group! When we leave at 9, I check out the entertainment but it is burlesquey, Gerry heads to the casino.
We have a Meet and Greet with a group that was arranged online at Cruise Critic.com, from all over NA, staff from the ship come to answer questions and we meet 15 or so others. One couple from Ottawa. Good to find out what other people are planning for activities at the port stops.
