Day Three, At Sea – November 19
With the new time, my watch is correct again. Now I have to remember not to keep subtracting an hour.
Up about 8:30 and started drinking coffee on the balcony and writing in this blog.
At 10:30 we went for breakfast at the Garden Cafe. They were almost closed. Yesterday they closed for breakfast at 11. Today, 10:30. By the time the cruise is over, maybe there will be no breakfast.
Walked around, read, nap, lazy day…
My wrist broke out in a rash so I won’t be wearing the watch anymore anyway. Aloe vera seemed to help.
More pictures from Deck 13:
Off to the Mongolian HotPot.
Several staff asked if we were familiar with this process and we were able to say that we were since we’d eaten at this very place on a previous cruse.
We were talking to the chef while he cooked and he said that this ship was the only one with a Hot Pot restaurant. Most of the others had the Chinese and Teppanyaki like we do but with Sushi as the third choice. Glad we’re on the HotPot cruise 🙂
Our appetizers were steamed vegetable dumplings, seaweed salad and edaname,
The main course was Shabu-Shabu with Udon noodles, chicken, ginger, bok choy, nappa cabbage, carrots, onion, snow peas, broccoli
My dessert was green tea cake with green tea ice cream. Tom had a variety of fruits with coconut sauce and a mango sauce.
We stopped by the store again but didn’t buy anything then did our evening walk around the decks
The show tonight is the comedian David Naster from the first night. Didn’t go.
Our towel tonight was a swan (or a turkey?)
This is very similar to our cabin:
Did You Know?
Norwegian Cruise Line sails to five continents and more than 120 ports of call. With more than 65 itineraries calling on 52 countries, there’s aways a cruise that’s perfect for you and your family
Norwegian Cruise Line offers more onboard dining choices than any other cruise line.
The other ones aren’t worth my time typing out since they’re talking about the Art Gallery, Colombian Emeralds and other “selling things”.

Coming up…
Another cruise!
This year started off with another “Crusin’ with Susan” cruise which was fantastic. I had it all set up to post daily entries (which I still haven’t gotten to do – and still may post since I have the notes.
We got back from that cruise and the next Sunday my DH had a heart attack followed by triple bypass surgery and months of rehab. I cleared out a room so he could have an office to work at home and start a new business. I moved almost all that stuff into the “sewing room”.
Then, over the summer my mom decided she would move in with us which required a LOT of moving stuff, getting rid of stuff, painting, clearing out a place for her things. She took over the “sewing room” so all that stuff had to come out…
At the end of the summer, my long-time best friend in the world died suddenly and I acquired her website – Power Surge which required a LOT of work.
I am so ready for a break and to go on this cruise. It’s identical to the cruise I took with Susan in January except that we’re on another cruise line, Norwegian this time. We are on the same ship (the Jewel) that DH, DS and I took in 2009 so it’s déjà vu in a couple ways!
Calgon Norwegian – take me away!
