Day 3--Grand Cayman

Move the clocks back an hour and we wake up in Grand Cayman. I have to say so far if you didn’t look out occasionally you would never know you were on a ship. It has been smooth as glass..not even an occasional speed bump! It was a beautiful day so we went to Lido to breakfast since most everyone was off the ship you have room to move around. We took our books and found a shady place on the deck above the pool to read. Soon we needed a festive drink and we had not seen any waiters. Lo and behold we see this guy walking toward us and we flag him down. He takes our order or rather agrees to make us something special himself. We go back to reading. We look at each other and say, he has been gone a long time and about that time he comes back with the drinks. We find out that he isn’t a waiter but was on his way to open the Sky bar which is top deck at the back of the ship. No wonder it took him so long. We felt bad then for making him do that so our quest now is to find him and give him a tip….don’t stop when old women wave at you!!! We had lunch on Lido then walked up to the Sky bar to try to redeem ourselves with Alexander but couldn’t find him. We read by the lawn and then got ready to head to the martini bar for our pre dinner cocktails. We again saw Janet and John. We had “French martini’s” tonight and I wasn’t into the Chambord…too sweet. Dinner was again exhausting with Mary asking us trivia questions and Joe (who is a portly Italian guy from NJ) giving us advice on everything and telling us dumb stories from his “trucking days”…OMG! They left the table before we did and Kay said she couldn’t take it another night and we had to speak to someone and get out of this. So we did and they have now put us at a table for 8 on the other side of the dining room. Good yes? No because now Kay feels bad and wants me to make up a lie about meeting someone I know that has invited us to dine with them. We head to the show which is this lady named Analisa Ching who won the UK Idol show playing the violin. We decided her father was a child abuser since she said he bought her a violin for her 4th birthday and she had to practice 7 to 8 hours everyday. OMG she was amazing but watching her fling her head around was giving me a headache. During the show the ship hit a few speed bumps and we slept good last night. It is quite bumpy today but sunny. I decided to catch up the blog today and Kay is reading on the verandah where I will join her shortly. We must think up the lie now for Joe and Mary….hmmmm.

Debbie, Kay never got her Dining credit...just FYI.




Nice padded deck chairs...very comfortable!

Kay found this cookie to be nondiscriminatory!

We watched as they stocked the lifeboats...should this be comforting or scary?

  1. Pretty funny about your table mates. That's why I am always happy to just do the buffet on Cayamo. Sue is in Marrakesh and heads to Casablanca tomorrow.
