Aaron made it to the casino several times and stayed at the roulette table each time. He always bet on red. He won some and lost a lot, but ended up staying ahead by the end of our trip. I just watched and shook my head hehe

We ate dinner here each night. We had a table by ourselves, which surprised us on the first night, but we decided that we liked it that way. It was very romantic :) We loved our waiters (one from Indonesia and one from Honduras) and had the best service that you could imagine. Anything we needed or wanted, they brought! The food was AMAZING!

We stayed by the pool for most of the day on Wednesday after we got back on board from Key West. I read, Aaron watched people, and even slept a little. Talk about vacation!!

Thursday morning we took a tour of the galley, where all the food is prepared. It was interesting to see how it goes behind the scenes for feeding 3,000 people.

Aaron went to the gym on board once each day, sometimes even twice. He indulged in one of the spa's packages: to be able to use the steam rooms and saunas, and he definitely took advantage of it. He has always loved steam rooms and saunas, and is now talking about building a sauna in our basement...which bewilders me because as soon as he comes home each night he turns the thermostat down to 68 degrees and freezes me into my sweatshirt and so that I dread getting out of the covers in the morning. :) Love you, Aaron.

Anyway, I went to the gym with him once to walk on the treadmill beside him, but otherwise I found something else to do like read by the pool.

We went to most of the shows that they performed each night. There was very high-quality entertainment...broadway-type dancing and singing, a comedian, an acappella group. This picture was taken right after the crew members put on a "Millennium's Got Talent" show, and at the end all of the crew came out in parade-style. This show was our favorite...9 of the crew members performed a talent, and some of them were unbelievable, such as the small Indonesian utilities cleaner (dishwasher) guy who sang better than the professional singers on board who were doing the actual broadway shows!

This is a view of the crowd watching the show.

We also saw a cooking show, emulating the popular TV programs...what meal can you cook with the top chefs of the ship in 12 minutes?

This was the head chef, Prashat. You could tell he really enjoyed being on stage :)
