Activities and Exercise

During the day there were activities in which to participate.  Brian enjoyed listening to one of the Disney animators talk about his work on Disney movies and specials.  I enjoyed the time Brian and I played Jenga and listened to singers in the promenade lounge.

One of our very favorite things to do on board was to walk on deck and look at the ocean.  We enjoyed standing towards the bow to see the ocean.  When we were planning the cruise, I dreamed of standing on the deck with Brian and gazing out to sea like they do on the old movies, and it was every bit as enjoyable as I’d hoped.  Those old movies were made back before cruise ships had movies and pools I guess because very few people seemed to enjoy just looking out over the ocean.  Many stayed in the ship and when they did come out, it was to crowd around the pools in a mass of humanity.  Deck four was the walking deck and we would do laps around it trying to walk off a few of the calories that we put on during meals.  We also played shuffle board on deck four and that was fun too even though Brian won.  Also to burn off calories, we avoided using the elevators.  Climbing stairs up and down the ten decks to get everywhere we wanted to go gave us constant exercise.
