Voyage of the Vikings Redux – Sea Day

Cruise Day 30

Sunday, August 20, 2023

Since today is a sea day, Val and I slept in as usual, but we were up by nine and after getting ready, had our breakfast in the Neptune Lounge.  I continue to feel a little better every morning as I slowly get over my cold, but I am getting frustrated that it just doesn’t go away.  It has been so long since I’ve had a cold, and I seem to have forgotten the process you have to go through.

I had a few things to check with the Neptune Lounge concierge about and got that taken care of and then returned to the room where Val and I spent the morning taking care of some business on our computers.  I also brought the blog up to date and cleaned up a few other odds and ends before lunch.

We went to lunch in the Lido and then went directly to the World Stage to hear a port talk on our upcoming ports.  After the talk we spent a little time in the casino and then returned to our room.  The weather had been overcast and foggy all day, and by afternoon the wind had come up and it had started to rain.  It wasn’t too cold, but if you stepped out on the balcony you got wet as the wind was blowing the rain under the cover.

We relaxed and read for the rest of the afternoon and then had our usual night of dinner in the main dining room and then the casino.  We are arriving at our next port at 7:00 AM tomorrow morning, but we have nothing planned so there was no reason to get to bed early, so we relaxed a while before turning in.
