Day 2 : At Sea
This is a very busy itinerary which starts with a day of 'cruising' along the coastline, giving guests an opportunity to check out the beautiful Radiance of the Seas and to meet their fellow cruisers. Our Cruise Critic "Gold Rush " group had planned a slot pull for 10:30 a.m., so after a leisurely breakfast on a cool and misty balcony, we headed for the Casino Royale to meet our new friends.
A good number of cruisers showed up to feed the Wheel of Fortune machine $21, giving each person 7 spins at a maximum bet of $3. Amidst a great deal of whooping , cheering and the occasional groan, we had a great time playing the one-armed bandit. The final tally after 17 people had spun the wheels was a return of $17 each, not bad for an hour's fun.
Directly following the slot pull was the Cruise Critic "Meet and Mingle" party, where we met the rest of our happy little group. The Cruise Director, "Dan,Dan, the Party Man", was on hand to welcome us aboard and draw for several prizes. We were each given a small container of handy office supplies as a 'parting gift'.
After the Meet and Mingle we adjourned to our Cabin Crawl, where 5 parties had offered their cabin for viewing and 'refreshments' Our cabin was last on the Crawl, and we introduced our friends to our travelling companion , Captain Morgan :) All guests enjoyed the view from our spacious balcony and agreed that it had been a sucessful Crawl.
After a lunch with Pirate friends, we checked out the Thermal Suite, relaxing on the hot tiled loungers followed by a sauna and cool shower. This evening was the first formal night, so we dressed up in our finery and met friends in the Concierge Lounge for drinks. We then had a great meal in the Cascades dining room and finished off the night with a drink at the Schooner Bar and a visit to the "Finish That Lyric' game show in the Colony Club.
