We left port at 4 PM on Sunday. We arrived at port in Bermuda yesterday (Wednesday) morning.
I've been asked how far it is between the two ports. I think this pic shows the perspective. This is where we were Monday night:
That little blue dot between NY and Bermuda is our ship.
It was funny - on Sunday I overheard a guy telling his travel companions that they would see 4th of July fireworks from the coastal cities while we were at sea on Monday. I do hope his travel companions weren't relying on him for any important trip planning because if this is indicative of his level of knowledge they are bound to get lost.
The cruise has been great. No one has been sea sick. We've seen some good shows and some OK shows. We have had some amazing food, some good food, and some OK food. We ave been stuck around people we'd have liked to toss overboard. I gather this is all pretty normal.
The biggest challenge with the food is there has been too much of it. I doubt any of my clothes will fit when we get to Montreal.
This will make my meetings there a challenge!
The drink package has been a great deal - we're certainly getting our money's worth. :-)
Monday was spa day. I had my first manicure and a anti-aging men's facial. Shockingly, I liked both. I didn't care for the lectures I received from each of the estheticians (is that the right term - what do I know?) but none of that was enough to keep me from going back.
The nice thing about a big ship like this is there is plenty of space to get away from people. For sure there are those among the 2000 guests we are quite annoying but with so many spots to spread out we can avoid them. Mind you, there was an unfortunate incident involving a cackling, swearing group, security, and some of our group which I napped through on Tuesday. Other than that it has been great.
We have three days in Bermuda.
A former student of mine who lives here put together an itinerary for us which allows us to avoid the ship excursions. So far his advice has been excellent - more on that later.
