Wednesday - Day at Sea

After a so-so breakfast at the Lido buffet, we went to a presentation in the main theater about the variety of shore excursions that would be available this week. (We've already signed up for some). Following was a fascinating presentation called "Islands of the Mind", which profiled Jimmy Buffet, Earnest Hemingway and Ian Fleming and their attachments to Key West and Jamaica.

We enjoyed a light lunch at the The Dive In - a Nathan's Hot Dog and cheezy fries. Our afternoon program was a talk about The Deep Blue Sea and treasure hunting in the Caribbean.

We are on the MS Eurodam. She's 936 feet long and has about 2100 passengers, 800 crew.  The "Promenade Deck" is on level 3. That's where you can do laps - 3 to a mile! She was launched in 2008, which make her an "old lady". She's beginning to show her age, but she's fine!! Holland is a subsidiary of Carnival - who knew? We did a Mexican Riviera cruise in 2017 on the Westerdam. It must be Eurodam's sister ship, they're the same, I recall.


Promenade on Deck 3 goes all the way around.
