Amazon & Carnival Explorer Cruise - Day 24: At Sea


Wednesday, February 27

Today is a welcome sea day as we have had four port days in a row and the heat and humidity has worn us down so we are looking forward to resting.  We slept in, but were up in time for breakfast in the Neptune Lounge.  We spent most of the morning out on our balcony, but eventually the humidity drove us in.

Val turned on the TV and the movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was starting so we decided to watch that.  We had seen it in the theater, but it was a good movie and we wanted to watch it again.  Unfortunately, before it was over, we had to go to lunch as Val had her trivia to go to, but we decided to go the Lido Buffet and bring our lunch back to our room.  We missed a little bit of the movie, but we were able to see the rest of it until the end.  After the movie, Val left for trivia and I updated the blog.

When Val returned from trivia, it was time for a port talk on our next two ports, but Val wanted to see the movie of the day which was “Bohemian Rhapsody” so she went to that and I went to the port talk.  I returned to our room after the talk and read for the rest of the afternoon.  Val didn’t get back until after 5:00 so it was soon time to get ready for our evening activities.

As always, we went to trivia before dinner where we met Roy, Gabriella, Wally and Nancy.  We know Roy and Gabriella from a previous cruise and we have now become friends with Wally and Nancy so our nightly gathering of trivia is very nice (I still don’t care much for trivia, though).  We did well and tied for first place, but lost the tie breaker.  After trivia, it was dinner and the casino.  My winning ways on my birthday continued. I didn’t win big, but I did come out ahead and managed to play for a while.  Tomorrow our port is Buzios, Brazil.
