Navigator of the Seas


Tuesday was at sea, on our way to Ephesus, Turkey. It’s the one stop on the cruise we are most looking forward to. The captain made an announcement this morning that there is a general strike in Athens and we will not be going there. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The Acropolis is all we wanted to see and now they will send us to a new port and we are hoping very much it is Santorini. But we’ll find out.

We had to move our clocks up one hour last night so a lot of people slept in. Breakfast was not crowded. We tried the Windjammer this time (the buffet). Same as other ships, except in the Mediterranean they must not have heard of grits. Couldn’t get them like I do in the Caribbean, or at Dot’s.

Then I took pictures, but mostly inside. The moment I stepped from the air conditioning into the very misty and humid outdoors, the lenses fogged up. But I got the highlights of the public areas of the ship. The dining rooms were closed so I could not get in there.

Wednesday is Ephesus.

 
Solarium Pool

 
The gym. I made one visit. To take this picture. Cycling season is over.

 
The Royal Promenade

 
Looking up from the Royal Promenade to where I took the last photo. Elevators on either side.

Entrance to one of the dining rooms.

 
Promenade Café. Free snacks 24 hours a day and the Starbucks-like coffee shop has good variety. Not free.

 
Typical balcony stateroom. It just happens to be ours.
