Since this cruise crossed the North Atlantic,
there were several days that we were out of
sight of land. This pleased Dave
because he enjoys sailing in rather turbulent waters, fondly remembering his
time in the Navy. I’m fine with a rocking boat, but there were folks aboard who
were seasick before we pulled away from the dock. Generally on ‘sea days’ we
slept in then ate breakfast in one of the dining rooms sharing a table with whomever
appeared at the maître d’ station at the same time we did. This is much
preferable than eating on the Lido deck where your only choice is to hunt a
table then go through a buffet line. There are a variety of breakfast foods
available and they can be prepared to your specifications; in almost all of the
cases, there is a substantial amount of food – possibly preparing you to go out
and haul fishing nets by hand.
