Fabrics have been lightened, delightfully. They have gone to beige, tan, offwhite, and lighter browns for the most part. The drapes in the bedroom module can be wrapped for complete darkness or opened to see out the balcony, and the door can be closed or opened. We are using it both ways since Todd woke up after 2 hours and came out and watched TV and worked a puzzle and I slept but woke up at 4 and am now out where enjoying the suite while he rests in his cocoon while we try to make this our last jetlaggy day.

Our first interesting experience was that we had no life jackets in our cabin (still don't). When the stewardess came, she asked if we needed anything, and Todd said lifejackets. She and I both just thought he was stating it was so close to 5:30 that we needed to move on. Well, there weren't any. So she left while he was looking and then I "got it" that we really had none and tried to chase her, but she was off like a flash in seconds. Even another guest came in. No life jackets. Well, Todd followed me out to see what I found out, and then said, do you have your key? So we neither one had one and now no life jackets or way to get one. Hall monitor said go and listen and then call stewardess.

We did that. We were fine. Then we had to get a new key card.

We unpacked and tried to go to the Taste of Things to Come, but we were slow and sore from the plane and the waterpark and tiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeed. We got up there in time for clams and a drink and another chat with Shani Reay the cruise director.

We headed off to dinner right after 7.
