At Sea - Adventure of the Seas Eastern Caribbean Cruise - April 13, 2024

 I set my alarm to catch sunrise this morning.  While I headed off to the helipad, Paul headed off to the gym.  There were a few people out enjoying the sky's colors but it was otherwise pretty quiet.









After the sun rose, I walked around the aft to check out the view from that perspective.


I met Paul back in the stateroom and we decided to enjoy breakfast in the main dining room.  The food was very good and the service was also good.

We attended a top tier event for those with loyalty status.  They recognized a few people who had hit milestones.  The Captain gave a short talk and then we got to enjoy some music from our ship's orchestra and dancing from that night's production show.  Plus, the champagne drinks were pretty free flowing.



We also had lunch in the main dining room.  There was a wait for a table for two so we joined two really nice women from California (both originally from the UP).   It was a really enjoyable lunch service. 

I always love checking out the art work on cruise ships.  This sculpture made of metal spans six decks (3-7) and is the show piece of the Royal Promenade.  It is called "The Dive" and is by American artist, Lawrence P. Kirkland.  The tornado formation represents the formation that a school of fish can sometimes form and thus would be the view from the perspective of a diver.

We took a walk up on deck to find the secret spot where you can look into the bridge.  While we were up there a flock of Brown Boobies was soaring and fishing around the port side of the ship which were so fun to watch.

For this cruise we booked a Promenade View Interior Cabin.  It's considered an interior cabin because it has no views to the ocean.  It does have a view of this interior space called the Royal Promenade.  Below is a photo of our view (and there is a great window seat to enjoy that view).

Tonight's dinner menu was a Taste of France.  I really enjoyed a seafood pasta dish.  Paul really enjoyed the vegan spring pea and asparagus risotto which had a very unique mint sauce.  And the special dessert of a flourless cake my head waiter promised me did not disappoint.
