After three days of doing the tourist thing, we were ready for some time at sea just being on the ship. Cruise ships have so many activities planned, it’s easy to find something you like every minute of the day if that is what you want.
Unfortunately, that’s when you realize you are just one of 3,000 people on the ship. The pool was like standing in a flooded elevator; shoulder to shoulder even if you didn’t want to be.
Adult Pool
There was a separate “Adult Pool” if you wanted to be away from the activity but it had its share of parents trying to separate themselves from kids for a few hours. There was also a “quiet place” called Serenity for those who didn’t care about the action and just wanted peace and quiet.
Since we have such ready access to beaches and a pool, we felt no compulsion to take on the mass of Texans looking for sun and water. We managed to amuse ourselves with lots of other onboard activities while still nursing our sensitive digestive system from the Honduran food.
Eventually, all good things must come to an end and so did our cruise. We left the ship with lots of fond memories, a few souvenirs and lots of laundry to be done. From Galveston we drove back to Houston to spend a few days with Debbie and her family.
