There was an Oscar Oscar Oscar code just after 7:00 pm. The visceral feeling of the ship abruptly changing directions and slowing down was a lot. Around 7:45 pm, the captain announced there was a situation and he would update us later. My thoughts are with those directly involved.

I went up to Windjammer to get a cup of tea, and saw they had crepes (one of my favorites):

Starlink is still working it's magic:

The Ben & Jerry's has been replaced with the Royal Caribbean branded ice cream. It was Ben and Jerry's when we boarded, but sometimes yesterday evening it swapped. It seems to be the similarly priced but honest looks better than the sad ice cream they used to have:

I met up with some folks to play board games, and then went to Windjammer for lunch:

I took a 45 minute walk and then did aqua aerobics. Aqua aerobics is no joke ....

No evidence of chair hogs....

Windjammer was busy but not insane when I got here around 8:00 am. Carbs from around the world:

Currentish position:

I woke around 5 am with the ship rocking and rolling. I did fall back to sleep, but there is still quite a bit of movement - which is to be expected on the Atlantic.

Good morning from ... Here:

We just passed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (I think ... ). I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel more movement.

Not a bad first day total:

Current position, cabin wise:

Current position, shipwise:

I've decorated for Christmas. My door: Cabin:

I'm sure it will - and I'm not complaining, it's just interesting (under some definition of the word ...)

Speed test all the way aft on deck 6:

It's crazy how different it is. This sailing appeared to be fully booked for awhile now, and given it is the holidays, I have to assume there are a lot of third and fourth berths in use, and the ship feels half empty.

Dinner was good and surprising fast for the first night - I was at a table for 10 (with one empty seat) and we were in and out in about an hour and fifteen minutes. Tomato soup (the vegan option) - it was very good: Chicken saag (also very good is quite spicy): Key lime pie (pretty good):

The Welcome Aboard Show was a song from the singers and dancers, some music from the band, and a comedian (who was not particular funny ... He was still telling "what I did in quarantine" jokes ... And not even good ones).
-
I think so.

Windjammer: Pre-show snack - the donut was amazing:
-
Quick hot take - Vision is WAY less crowded than Enchantment. Those extra cabins they added on Enchantment really do make a difference in how the ship feels. For example, this is the current status of the Some Enchanted Evening Lounge with trivia starting in 10 minutes ...
