Today's a Sea Day heading back East to the Grenadines and the Island of Grenada. It was also a big day for one of the couples on our dinner table, Becky and Terry, who were getting their wedding vows renewed in the afternoon.
We woke up feeling a little over baked after the beach days so decided to stay out of the sun today and instead purchased a 24 hour package of wifi at a cost of £12.50. This gave me a chance to update my blog and browse social media and look at emails. We bought a one day package and whilst I used my iPad to type David logged on the iPhone to check work emails and we just kept switching the log in so we both got full use.
The day was lovely and chilled. We are lucky that we enjoy each other's company so much, we've been married for over thirty years and still very happy doing the simple things in life.
We had a walk around the shops on the ship and once we had used some of the internet time went for lunch in the Horizon restaurant and had a drink in the Sunset Bar which is one of our preferred places. The bar is right at the back of the ship and fairly quiet, we like to get a table for two by the rails but there is also more comfy seats in the shade. David usually goes to the gym on a sea day but today we decided to go for afternoon tea in the main restaurant and then to the Crows Nest for a gin and tonic.
As we walked through the ship we bumped into four of our table mates. Becky and Terry were renewing their vows on board and were holidaying with some friends Tessa and Mike and Tessa was their bridesmaid. When we saw them they had just had the renewal and the Captain had taken the service, they were with one of the ships photographers so only said a quick hello and congratulations. They looked great, Becky was in a full white wedding dress as she said she hadn't worn a white dress when they first got married so wanted to have the opportunity. We were to see them again later at dinner.
Dinner was lovely tonight as it was a little wedding type reception. It was a formal night so everyone had made the effort and of course we had the bride and groom at our table. The waiters brought some balloons and sang congratulations on the renewal of your wedding vows song. Becky also got a large cake so we had a big piece each with our coffees, and as there was still over half left, she asked if the waiters would like to have it later.
We excused ourselves at 10pm as we wanted to nip to the Crystal Room to watch the dance teachers perform a ten minute show dance before returning to the dining room to continue the celebrations.
