First Full Day at Sea

Today was first full day at sea. In the morning, the ship tilted about 40 degrees and knocked some stuff off the shelves in our room. The cruise director, Butch, called it a "Technical error" over the PA. After we ate breakfast on the lido deck, we went to atrium and to the shops. Mom bought a necklace and 2 bracelets at the Gold by the Inch sale. We went to the Fun Ashore, Fun Aboard talk by Butch. We also attended the Shopping Talk for St. Thomas and San Juan, hosted by Jimmy. For lunch, they were serving American food on the lido deck.


After our nap, we watched Mean Girls on TV. It was the first elegant night on the boat, so we wore dress pants to dinner. We went to our new table, table 551 for dinner in the dining room. Our new waiter, Ralph is from Jamaica. I had Spaghetti Carbonara, Strawberry Bisque, Prime Rib, and Warm Chocolate Melting Cake. Dad ate alligator fritters and liked them.

After dinner, we went to the Punchliner club to see the comedian, Percy Crews II. We strolled past the shopping desk to get Mom her VIP shopping card. The show in the Venetian was "Wonderful World," with the carnival singers and dancers. When we got back to the room, there were some free Carnival lunch bags and pins for mom and dad, since this was their 10th cruise on Carnival. I watched some of "X-Men: First Class."
