Day at Sea

Michael is still crazy upset about his computer. IT guys looked at it this morning and pronounced it dead. They have configured the loaner computer, so at least the support has been wonderful. I am writing on a computer in the computer lab and transferring the file to a thumb drive. I will be able to then transfer the files to the loaner computer, hook up my new $18 USB cable to my phone and hopefully get this posted to the blog. Right now, we are out of internet service. In a few days, the ship will set up our onboard internet account (at the crew rate), so things should be a lot easier. See what I go through to keep you guys updated!! LOL LOL

I just love technology.

Several people have asked about our accommodations. Here is the summary: nice, but cramped. We have a window, but our view is blocked by a lifeboat. If you crane your head just right, you can see toward the stern. At least we get daylight. The room is about 200 square feet and includes a king size bed, a large desk chair, which sits at a built-in desk/armoire cabinet, and a tiny settee and small table. We have a safe and refrigerator (with free soft drinks). The storage is cramped for a two month trip, but we managed to get everything in. There is not much passing room in the aisles.

The bathroom has two sinks, a commode, and a tub/shower combination. Adequate but cramped, especially if two people are trying to get ready at the same time. At least this is NOT Princess. Nice fluffy towels and good housekeeping. The room is close to one of the elevators, dining rooms and bridge room.
