Still No Pics

I would like to take an opportunity to say that I loved going a cruise. As mentioned before, I have not slept, ate and read so much in one week. We also played 5 Crowns. I am not sure if Jen won more games than I did. I just know that she was out to get me every game. I must say that some games she did just that. But that's a two way street.
Our stateroom over looked the Promenade deck. This deck is set up to look like a city street. The windows above this "city street" belong to the staterooms of the 3 next decks. We were able to watch several of the parades that took place on this street form our stateroom. We also heard all the music that was being played. That lasted until 11 P.M. If we happened to be in our stateroom and didn't want to hear the music we turned on our elevator music that is pumped into our room or we turned on the tv.
We spent this cruise with 51 of Santa's helpers. There wasn't any guessing as to who these men were. We were fortunate to hear Santas Rick and Bob in the karaoke lounge. They sung pretty well. Santa Bob was one of 6 finalists in the karaoke competition that was held on the last day of the cruise.
When anticipating for this cruise I was most excited to be at sea 3 of the days of this cruise. I knew that I would be able to do as I pleased and just relax.
For all of you expert mini-golfers I have a challenge for you. Try miniature golfing when the sea is a little rough and rocking the boat. It makes for quite the challenge. There was a place to do some inline skating, but I never saw when that was available. There was a track laid out on deck 12. Five times around the track is a mile. If any of you question if I exercised the answer is this; most of the time I took the stairs when going to dinner and sometimes after. After lunch we would meander to the Arctic Zone for self serve soft serve ice cream cones. I think I visited that place more than I should have, but I was on vacation.
When Captain Jack Sparrow asks, "Why's the rum gone?" I can tell you why. I am totally amazed at how much alcohol was consumed and I was not on deck all that much. During dinner we were tabled in a corner of the dining room. When they lifted the curtain it was fun to see nothing but the rail and then blackness. I felt quite small.
Today I have going through Jen withdrawals. It was fun just to be with her.
I hope it's not another 3 1/2 years before I go on another cruise.
Love Ya'
