This day was spent cruising at sea. Not much scenery to watch around but they had a lot of activities on board to keep us engaged.
After breakfast at the Garden Cafe , DD and DH spent some time on the court practicing soccer in preparation for the soccer shoot out event to be held that evening ( which ended up getting cancelled due to weather).
Around noon we took part in the Family Circus Workshop. DD really enjoyed learning to spin a plate on a stick!!
Lunch again was at the Garden Cafe. Can you tell already our family loves buffet instead of a sit down?
After lunch all the ladies from our group headed over to the Bliss Lounge for a Free Ladies Pamper Party where they treated you with a few free (self-)treatments - facial,neck and eye.
The evening show Velvet was at 7:15 pm (and again at 9:15). We got to the theater a wee bit late since we spent some time taking pictures on the deck. You cannot blame me for choosing the beautiful (and free) outdoor lighting vs. the indoor photo booths with fake backdrops that cost $$$.
The show was a nightclub, boogie wonderland type show. The highlight was this chubby guy in leotards with a cut out for his belly, who had the wildest of the moves on stage. That image is inscribed in my head forever !
That evening was our first specialty dinner reservation at Moderno - the Brazilian Steakhouse. The menu includes a salad bar, main course of grilled meat - chicken, lamb, beef and pork , followed by your choice of desserts. They have 2-3 specialty drinks that you can get for an added cost. The main course is served with shared sides of - mashed potatoes, fried yuca and white rice. Service was great. The server constantly brings around a type of meat and then slices it off the rack right at your plate. The meat was delicious especially the lamb and chicken. Desserts were also delicious. My favorite was the mango and rice pudding.
Most members of our group are "a (half) glass of wine a day" drinkers, so we did not buy the unlimited drink packages (which by the way you have to buy for each person in your room). Instead we got a bottle of wine at dinner to share. At $30 it was an economical option.
