Mid-Atlantic Ridge
We sailed over the mid-Atlantic ridge
beginning 2 days ago and left the storms behind. I will include some photos of the ship, and
especially of the food!!
The ship is not a class-less society. There are inside cabins (no window, obviously
no balcony), cabins with an ocean view (a large porthole which cannot be
opened), balcony cabins and then there are the Grills!!!! Larger staterooms, some with a bar, kitchenette,
walk-in closet and, if you pay enough, a butler who answers the ring of your
doorbell.
Then we are divided into those doing the
full World Voyage (a minimum of 91 days at one go) and the rest of the passengers. We have our own separate area during the day,
with a concierge (this one not very interested in interacting with the
passengers but I do not need a new best friend) and with juices, tea, pastries,
sandwiches and whatever we wish, on constant offer. One of the ways to help offset the temptations
is to walk, and not take the elevators (“lifts for many of you).
We have Royal Spa passes with MM uses every
day and I will use as soon as I get goggles in Florida, so that I can wear my
contact lenses. Also, there are line
dancing and ballroom dancing classes, any number of slimming classes, machines
including the treadmill things at the forward end of the ship which face the
ocean.
Update:
I have begun using the Royal Bath House – gorgeous. There are 3 different heated rooms with
benches (wet with and without the aroma of citrus and dry heat), showers with
“tropical rain” shower heads and jets upon demand, a sauna and a “private” pool
with amazing jets spouting from about 2 feet above head level. This is the way to live!!
