I
hadn't been running all week so I took the opportunity in the morning
to go to the gym and run on the treadmill for about 40 minutes. The
ship was moving along pretty well with just a gentle sway. Running
on a treadmill is kinda the pits anyways but with that gentle roll
back and forth, it just adds another twist to running – I usually
have to run with one hand on the treadmill just for a little balance.
After
I got done, I went back to the suite and just hung out on the veranda
– I pulled one of the loungers into the shade and watched a movie
on my ipad until Seth woke up. I showered and got ready – we had
reservations at Normandie for lunch at noon. We were recommended to
eat there rather than the buffet because it was a sea day and it
would likely be very crowded in the buffet.
Lunch
was relaxed and yummy. I tried their beet salad with goat cheese as well as the lobster tail.
Afterwards, we went to browse the sales on
the pool deck where I picked up a dark grey Celebrity polo shirt for
Rhys. We also walked through the emporium and I picked up a Summit
magnet to add to our collection.
At around
2:10, we met on deck 9 forward for a tour of the navigational bridge.
It was interesting to see the computer basically steering the ship.
One of the officers explained what our heading, speed, etc was and
also told us how long it takes to become a captain of a ship like the
Summit.
After
our tour, I went back to the suite and just hung out. We were
actually going to eat in the main dining room for dinner since it was
Thanksgiving. I can't remember who it was that mentioned it to us
but we were told about a cruise with 4 sea days and a couple of
overnights in Bermuda. This sounded really good to us and so I had
grabbed a flyer about the Bermuda cruise. We looked at it over lunch
and talked about going in June so Wade and I went to the future sales
desk and got information about it – we were looking at adjoining
Celebrity suites on deck 7 but the sales woman suggested to us to
wait until Friday because of the specials that would be coming out on
the last day of the cruise.
Our
dinner in the MDR was disappointing. The double baked blue cheese
souffle was pretty good. The frisee and endive salad was ok. The
pork loin was ok. Charlie had lobster which came out cold and the
service was REALLY slow. We did have a good bottle of red wine with
dinner.
We
put our order for breakfast out and had invited Wade and Charlie over
for a last cruise breakfast.
