Canada Day 5 (Day at Sea): A Very Lazy Day

Today was our first day at sea on this trip and we didn’t do much so there’s not much to write. This is going to be a short one.

I really wanted to sleep in but ended up waking up earlier than I wanted to. Because we had nothing but time we dined at the sit down restaurant for breakfast. There's no dress code for breakfast or lunch. Service here is a lot slower and the atmosphere is a lot more formal than the buffet. Some guests had to wait 45 mins to be seated. 

We had a lot of time before lunch so we lounged around the ship for a bit. I used this time to catch up on emails, social media and play video games. We opted to dine at the sit down restaurant for lunch too. The menu's at the restaurant are almost identical to the food that they serve at the buffet

While we were at sea there was a lot of things going on around the ship. There was a lecture on the stereotypes of Vikings another one on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and a Port Talk on the history of Gaspe, Quebec. I didn’t participate in any of that. Today was also that reception for returning travelers that happens every trip. Which, I also didn’t attend this time around. I’ve written about that experience in a few of my other blogs.

Before dinner we attended afternoon tea and went to the show put on by the ship’s resident entertainers. DUETS is a cabaret style show showcasing showcasing some very iconic duets.
After the show we had a late dinner and went right to bed. We’ll be in Gaspe tomorrow where we'll be out and about again and I’ll have a lot more to write about.
