Overslept, so I’m not going to make it to my shore excursion. That’s okay; I’ll spend time at the pool. I think that next time, I won’t sign up for shore excursions every day. Also, part of the problem is that the time zone is two hours earlier from Central Time. And it was raining, which wouldn't be great for a beach day.

There are some interesting events at the Fitness Center and Spa. But now, it’s nap time again. The guy who wanted to clean my stateroom knocked again and asked when he could clean my stateroom. I said "12:30," but couldn't really fall back asleep. I left at 12:15 for lunch. After lunch, I checked out the shops, and there is one shop that says that it has port-of-call t-shirts, which is what I'm looking for. But the shop was closed; apparently it is only open during the evening. I'll go back.

The room is immaculate now.

I did take a dip in the pool. It’s a salt-water pool, and something in it makes my eyes burn, so I departed. I now have swum in water over my head though. I didn’t take a picture of the pool because I wouldn’t be thrilled if someone took a picture of me in a wet swimsuit.

The pool was full of guys holding their (alcoholic) drinks in their hand. I feel a little like I’m on a cruise with a bunch of aging frat boys.

I'm eyeing cruises with Azamara, which spends more days at each port of call. They have an African cruise, which probably would be spectacular, but oh, the jet lag. I'm looking at their Panama Canal cruise. I do want to go to Bermuda, though, which probably would have to be with Celebrity. I'd like a cruise line with a less party atmosphere.

The cruise leaves an hour after when they say that it's going to leave. LOL. I guess that it makes for fewer people missing the departure.

I went to the shops and looked at t-shirts. I liked one that said, "You float my boat" with a picture of a cruise ship, but you would need to wear it untucked to see all of it. Plus who knows how much it costs. I looked at a Celebrity Cruises hoodie on clearance, but the clearance price was $47! No.

I'm having dizzy spells, so I need to drink some water and get to bed early. I want to get up early for my tour of St. Lucia!
