Friday morning I had the eggs benedict for breakfast. We were seated at a table with 4 people from Sheffield. I impressed the hell out of them when I told them I’d actually been there, and that I knew they’d filmed The Full Monty there (probably the more impressive of the two.) There was an annoying (American) woman at breakfast with us who kept saying stupid things like “How much are you paying for petrol?” and “What do you think of Prince Harry? I think he’s sooooo cute,” and “You get like 4 months of vacation, don’t you? DON’T YOU????” Ack.
Timmy and I immediately went to the pool after breakfast. It’s okay to have drinks at 10:30 am when you’re on vacation, right? The drink of the day was the "Goombay Smash - the name says it all!!! White and dark rums, apricot brandy, pina colada mix and pineapple juice will surely cast some spells." I thoroughly enjoyed lolling around in my chair, sunning and playing my electronic Yahtzee game. Timmy called me a weirdo cuz I had to yell “Yahtzee!” every time I rolled one. He had a poker game that he was playing.
We had lunch at the buffet (Greek food!) and then went back to the room for a shower. We bought a few things in the souvenir shop (a Christmas ornament and a fridge magnet in the shape of the Carnival Victory) then we went back up to the top deck and sat in chairs in the shade. I fell asleep and was apparently snoring. I was certainly drooling a bit. I’m so disgusting. We got more drinks, then ice cream, then pizza, then French fries, then sandwiches. Then we had to take a nap.
Friday night was the second formal night so we got all dressed up again. Timmy had the prime rib for dinner and I had the shrimp. The waiters formed an enormous conga line through the restaurant during dessert. After dinner we put on our bathing suits and got in the hot tub for a while.
Then we went back to the room to change again for the GRAND BUFFET MIDNIGHT VIEWING. The chefs had made all these sculptures out of food. They had a one-hour viewing and picture taking period, then all the fatties on the cruise could eat the art. We were so full after eating all day long that we just went to bed.
We had a little trouble figuring out our towel animal. Is it a seal?
