March 24, 2025 – At Sea – North Atlantic Ocean – Cloudy and Rainy – 60s

Gray day at sea.  

I couldn’t eat at Table 62 in La Veranda because of the cold and sprinkles so I found a nice table inside (#10 for two with a window view).  This will be my table for the next few days as the weather does not look to be warm in the morning. Cereal starter, two plain pancakes, and scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese made up another good breakfast.


Another iced mocha in the Coffee Connection and a look at today’s talk.  It’s a relatively short one and should have no trouble with the 45 minute limit. The place is pretty full today because of the nasty weather so I like to get the last table aft.

We ate lunch in the protected area next to the Pool Grill. It was cold and windy so you had to grab your food quickly and get under the roof and out of the wind.  I had the salad bar and some pizza – a great combination on this ship. 

Today’s talk, “Forensics and History: The Lost Dauphin of France”, doesn’t get as much play as the rest of the series but, because there are lots of sea days, it is on today’s schedule.  The turnouts have been consistent and the talk ended a bit early.  I thought that the flashing light during the talk was some kind of time signal but it wasn’t.  I chatted with some people outside the theater.  The Augmentin has really improved the way I feel and how my voice feels.  I don’t know if it was a sinus infection but it was something that responded to antibiotics. 

We have come up with a new approach to dinner.  At 6:00 PM, we go to the Observation Lounge to here Fabiano (who is fantastic) and maybe have a drink but mostly for the nuts. At around 7 PM, we go to dinner, generally the Compass Rose where another Dover Sole gets the hands-on treatment.  I have gone back to the San Marsano Soup, a green salad, and today, the pasta pesto (spaghetti). 

We aren’t going to the show tonight so we spent time in the Atrium seating area.  Very comfortable and generally quiet.
