Hello from the second most boring sea day. Again, not because of the lack of activities or because I personally was bored
 |
You can see the day’s activities
on the app, too. |
but because of hospital patient Baloo the dog. The first text to me from back home arrived at a very early 3:46AM letting me know the hospital still couldn’t get him to eat. There were 25 more incoming messages and 4 phone calls made to me in the next five hours. With all my attention being focused on conversations from home - which should be done in private, not public - I again pushed the privacy button on the door panel, stayed in the cabin, and skipped breakfast. It was only when Baloo arrived home and got settled in did I feel comfortable leaving the cabin.
It was about 11:00 when I headed straight outside to a lounge chair on Deck 16. The weather was still on the warm side so I was surprised the pool deck wasn’t packed.

| Loungers empty on a sea day at 11? Shocking. |
I eventually made my way to the dining room for lunch. Unfortunately it was Pub Lunch day. I used to love pub lunch
(I wrote about how much I loved it on a cruise in 2017) but nowadays, they’re turning the fish out so fast it’s always just mediocre.
 |
Based on the size of the fish pieces
it should be called chips and fish instead |
Having to get the taste of greasy fish out of my mouth, I of course had to opt for half a piece of chocolate cake with just a tad bit of ice cream.
From there, a stop at the casino, and another hand pay.

| Love winning. Hate the implications at tax time. |
Back to the cabin because of more incoming texts and phone calls. And photos. Poor Baloo.
 |
| I think he’s saying, “Rescue me Grandma.” |
Pre-dinner drinks of…
Topped off with lemon meringue cheesecake.
We move clocks ahead again tonight so I’m creeping closer to home time zone. Hope that means receiving 3:46 AM texts won’t feel like 3:46 AM anymore.
Up tomorrow, another sea day.
