This morning, we arrived at Coco Cay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas. We shared the dock with the newest and largest cruise ship, the Legend of the Seas.
It was time to begin, as Royal Caribbean calls it, the Perfect Day at Coco Cay.
On one of the beach areas, I caught the perfect picture of our ship, the Allure of the Seas.
They say on a cruise, it’s drink-o’clock. 🙂
When on Coco Cay, mahn, you have to get the Coco Loco, mahn.
Is that a rum floater? Ya, mahn.
Isn’t it too early to drink? Not in Europe, mahn. They’re seven hours ahead of us. 
The sky and water today were trademarked Bahamian colors today! 
When I got back on board, I found a towel animal. Bad doggie, BAD doggie. He told me that we’re losing an hour of sleep tonight as we cross a time zone.
After dinner, I came back to my room and found a crystal block. We get a block when we reach 140 loyalty points and then every 70 points after that. We always receive a block of the ship we are on when we get the next set of points. Hence, the Allure of the Seas block.
I took in a LOT of sun and fresh air today and, quite frankly, I’m wiped out. That, and losing an hour of sleep tonight, has made the decision easy to stay around my room and not do a whole lot more. I’m still fighting residuals of the bronchitis, getting better but needing rest. It took me seventy years to make sure that I get the rest I need when sick to build my strength back up. That’s a hard lesson for a workaholic. 😮
Tomorrow is a sea day. There also an ice show in the evening that I have reserved. I’m looking forward to seeing that.
That’s it for now.
g’night
