2011 cruise day two

By the time we got up on the second day we were far away from land ,surrounded by water .My wife ,Mary said that it made her feel a little funny not seeing any land .I worked off-shore several years ago so being surrounded by water was not new to me .The water was a very dark almost royale blue . We ate breakfast in the Paris room it was very good and as always the service was top notch. We went to an excursion seminar in the Rome theater ,we found it very comforting and educational .With all the stories you hear of the mexican drug wars ,they assured us our ports of call and any excursion we did would be safe . They also told us that the ship would be stopping and checking its side thrusters and not to be alarmed ... so most people that did not go to the seminar were kinda alarmed when they stopped..We made our way around the ship and kinda got a little better bearing on were things were located. We did get in the hot tub and enjoyed that . The second day also happend to be the formal night and the captains dinner. We had gotten dressed early so we could go and have pictures taken,and listen to the bands play. We got to take a picture with our captain Angelo Los .It was amazing to see some of the outfits and tuxes some were wearing .We had the the late dinning and it was very fun and exciting with everyone dressed up it added even more to the experience .We went to comedy show after dinner and then to a small magic show .We walked on the deck taking in the Moon, it was gorgeous out on the water .And with much anticipation on the next days coming events we called it a night.
