Day at Sea
So many of these world cruisers prefer days at sea rather than a port stop..."Boca, we've been here and there so many times. Go on honey, you and the Pleep be sure you see all the destinations as I know many are a first for you". As Bubba said, you were dismissed like the help. Hmmmf.
Boca and the Pleep do enjoy their days at sea when there's a lot of spa-ing going on. They're not too keen on the Mah-Jong (am I back in Boca?), Jig Saw Puzzle (surely you jest), Morning Stretch (Bubba does that for us), Walk A Mile with that wretched Trainer (yeah, sure), Needlepoint (I am afraid of needles), Beginners Bridge (yes Pleep enjoys hanging around the Bridge, doesn't that count?), Salsacise- huh?, Trivial Pursuit (a blood sport on board), Social Dance Class (everyone with 2 left feet please sign up), Duplicate Bridge (isn't once enough?), Anyone for Checkers ( eek!), Top Toss (Pleep was initially interested as he thought the entertainment girls were tossing their tops poolside), Arts and Crafts (now that got Boca rev'd up), Skittles (don't you eat them?), Wine Tasting- I'm in, Evening Stretch with that witch again followed by indoor cycling ( can't wait), and don't forget Tea Time and FRIENDLY TRIVIA ( I guess more blood in the Horizon Lounge will be cleaned up before cocktail hour).
SEA DAY SCHMEA DAY.....THIS IS A SPA DAY
None of that Sea Day stuff for Boca and Pleep. SPA DAY for the Pleepster and Boca. Pleep thought we already did the massage thing at the airport with the TSA man/??
No little Pleepie....first we start with the steam, then peat scrub and wrap and then a massage....
Oh yes... this is my cup of tea .....
But first we must have the Organic Mermaid Purse Wrap Peat Rub. The Peat what? Yes, it's organic from Europe and will remove all of our toxins and filthy habits. Pudge told me it's well worth the price. You know how they add another zero on all of the cruises. Boca, do you mean we pay money for someone to rub dirt on us? Yup but its special dirt Pleep. IT'S SPA DIRT.
Hey Boca, are you sure this is working? Maybe we should have had the Euphoric Detox Wrap? Too late now Pleep.
Yes, the Canyon Spa Manager guaranteed I would be a size 6 without those pesky toxins.....
Pleep, will my bum look big in those polyester pull on's I brought to accomodate the Desert Trough?
Now on to the massage.....I think I'll try the Combo....Thai-Shiatsu-Tension Zone-Canyon Ranch-Aromatherapy-Stone-NON SPORTS-Massage. Yeah, that's the ticket.
So after a day of transformation at the spa we were ready for the Crossing Ceremony. The what?
Crossing the Line
Yes we had a very corny ceremony for the first timers of Crossing the Line. The ceremony of Crossing the Line is an initiation rite in the Royal Navy, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and others like us Regent nutz-which commemorates a "sailor's first crossing of the equator". So are you a Shellback (been there done that) or a Pollywog (haven't got the t-shirt yet). I guess I didn't have enough of that Green Mystery Drink they were passing around to get the deal? This is no Absinthe like we had in Montreal!
