An ugly day in Isafjordur.

We are 2 for 2 at this port (not being able to get off the first time we stopped here a few days ago). You can see our position relative to the port and town in the Google Map graphic.
It's even colder today - the Captain said it might actually snow - and very few people are getting off the ship today (can tell by the crowds in the Oceanview Café). There is still no marmalade (sacrifices need to be made) on the buffet but everything else is there. The guy taking egg orders knows me at this point and plops that cheddar cheese on my scrambled eggs without being ask to.
We spent most of the day outside of the Sky Lounge in the two chairs in the alcove. It might have been close to freezing and a threat of snow but there were people out there kayaking and playing some kind of relay game (looked like a day camp of some kind).
I had tuna salad and assorted other stuff for lunch.
At 4:45 PM I went down to the Moonlight Sonata Dining Room
on Deck 4 (Select Dining) and got in a medium sized line (Maxwell, the suit
from the other side had told us last night that we would be waiting over an
hour in line). The line moved very fast
and we got Table 516 along the railing (where we sat on a previous cruise – the
best seats in the Dining Room – no neighbors and very little noise).
When we checked in, the hostess looked as if our special meals
weren’t there and our waiter also gave us the impression that something had
gone wrong. Actually, we misread both of them and the meals were indeed there. The Salisbury Steak was actually
a very spiced up hamburger (didn’t like the spices that much but the dish was OK). The mashed potatoes were cholent type of
potatoes (OK) and I didn’t touch the green beans.
The parve carrot cake didn’t cut it but the six rugelach were authentic
and perfect. We had two for dinner and
took four back to the room for another time.
The food came so fast – our main meal was finished at 6:01 PM and we
were able to leave for the theater before 6:30 PM.
We are not big fans of magicians but we decided to see James Cielen – a semi-finalist on England’s Got Talent and a Gold Medal Winner in Las Vegas.
The tricks were not new and I thought that
some were easily rigged (especially the envelope with a famous person as a
baby). He also did the never ending snow
from the hand trick (we’ve seen in done before).
The ship started to rock and roll just as the show ended
and didn’t stop until the middle of the night.
Some of the rolls were major.
Up in our cabin, the motion of the ocean was pretty strong and we tried not to get knocked down.
