Carolyn wakes up about 5:30AM, but decides she will just close the curtain so Dick can continue sleeping and watch the wedding in her nightgown! An hour and a half later, when Dick stirs, Carolyn is still glued to the TV! He gets dressed and leaves to find coffee and sanity, Carolyn changes channels to see what Fox’s coverage is showing and continues until almost 9AM when Dick comes back saying he is going to breakfast. Carolyn takes a break and joins him.
Dick goes to Terry’s lecture at 10AM, “Aztec and Spaniard - A conflict of the Chosen Peoples" and Carolyn goes back to the room to get caught up on the blogs. We have gotten way behind again.
At 11AM Jamie holds a tribute to the Royal Wedding, A Royal Wedding Street Party with games and prizes on the pool deck. At noon the Captain tells us we are at 15 degrees N and 97 degrees W. The seas are calm and ocean depth is 9.000 feet. Actually most of the morning has been almost oily calm. It is a balmy 86 degrees with 76% humidity outside.
We have Prime 7 again tonight, almost canceled it, but a steak does sound good! After a nice meal and some white chocolate fudge we head to bed. Though I doubt if we sleep well; it is a miserable 76 degrees in our room right now. I reported to Nicki, GM before dinner that it was 75 and she said she would get right on it. Apparently not, because the temperature is continuing to climb. It was a comfortable 71 degrees when we got up this morning, but when we got back from breakfast the AC was completely off and it was 74 degrees. I reported that the AC was off and it came back on in 30 minutes or so. But, the room never cooled down below 73 degrees all day.
I hate to say this, but we will be so glad to get off this ship. The constant begging to reduce the temperature in our suite is very very old. In fact, tonight the men were shedding their jackets and the ladies their wraps as it got so warm in Prime 7 before we finished our meal. They can’t seem to keep the public areas at a constant, comfortable temperature.
We are beginning to think that the hotter ship is a cost cutting measure since we know they can keep the ship cooler than they are now, For what it is worth, they did offer to move us, but after turning the AC in the proposed new room to its lowest level for a full day, it was not as cool as ours. It was 74.5 degrees after being on the lowest setting, closed drapes and no lights or TV all day! So, if you are thinking about a suite on Deck 6, be sure that you can live with 75 degrees if you like to have the TV and light.
