Cruise Day - Nov 3rd

I was up early and checking the baseball details. The Cubs Won! Congratulations to them and all the fans on the ship! There are lots of happy people on board! Also checked Google Maps for our location.
Morning location... we have slowed to 15 knots.
I decided to get up and do my laps around deck 5 but Kelly wanted to sleep a little more. The ship has a nice running track that mostly goes all around the ship (ex the bow) It is easy to navigate and features numerous signs that help promote health... like "To stop right now would be a waste, journey on, just set the pace" and my favorite "Go Man Go, but not too fast, spend it now, you may no last!
Running track layout and distances
Once finished I went and grabbed the coffee mugs from the room and headed to the cafe. Even used down the stairs :-) Grabbed coffee and danishes for us and delivered them to the room.  Quick shower and I was off to my lecture on the "Movies" by David Kirkpatrick.  It seems that I needed to stop at the cafe again as "my danish" disappeared into the other Abyss :-)

The lecture was well attended and entertaining. I headed back to the room to await Kelly and plan lunch. I also met up with Cathy & Bryan so we made some cursory lunch plans i.e. "Text when you know more".

The texting happened and we met up with Cathy and Bryan for lunch on Deck 3. We got caught up with their day and enjoyed a great lunch. My Lasagna was very good!

We headed back to the room and changed into some swim wear but the balcony was beckoning and the decision was made to get drinks and enjoy the views here.  A nice relaxing afternoon watching the waves roll by.

The aquatic show had been delayed but was now going ahead at 3:30.... but we missed it:-) No problem as the 5pm show was coming up so we headed for that one. I spotted a great vantage point and we soon had top notch viewing. The show was very good and we both enjoyed it.

Aqua show.
Next we walked Central Park and met up with Patty & Guy for a beverage. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the ambiance.and the birds that hitchhiked from Europe.

Dinner in the Silk Dinning Room with our table just next to the entry. A bit busy but the service was fast and the food very good. It was lobster tonight... and plenty of it!

A walk about the ship but once again the time changes are kicking our butts.  We retired at 10 PM

Bionic Bar
Nice evening walk.
Clocks go back tonight for the last time on the ship

Note: We meet the two other "smaller" sister ships Oasis and Allure tomorrow for a promotional picture... should be interesting! Our last full day!! :-(
