Since we got off with plenty of time, we went and checked out diamonds international store since I had gotten a coupon in our room for a free diamond pendant with any purchase. However, the least expensive thing int he store was $200. But we did end up with free charm bracelets and pendants for each of us, and this started us collecting them for the rest of the cruise.
We then stopped and bought Del Sol hats. We needed hats for the very bright sun, and the color changing Del Sol products are just fun. We went to check in for resort for a day and they took us straight to the bus to go to the resort. It was a much shorter drive than last year but less pretty too.
However it was a much nicer resort with way more possible activities than the one from last year too. There was only this one picture at the resort because I had forgotten the waterproof cases for our phones.
I was fortunate to find tubes for lazy river for myself right away and mom after just one lap around. It was a fast river with some fun water features. After some times around we went to a hot tub that was not so hot. I went and tried the other hot tub I had found earlier and it was much hotter and nicer even though it had a waterfall into it that splashed you some. We enjoyed reading our Kindles in them (I didn't forget those waterproof cases).
We then went to lunch at Seafood Grill. This was our view for lunch, and us at it while waiting for food.
Mom ordered a fish soup and the seafood bass special. It was so-so. I order jerk pork. It was good but a little too spicy for me. The sauce that came on the side of mine though made mom's rice good. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries then. Service was very slow. I took burger and fries with me to swim up bar that I had finally seen when on the way to lunch. It was somewhat hidden around the corner from the slide outlets. It turns out we could have ordered lunch from there. It was a live and learn moment for another year maybe.
On the drive back I took these two pictures of the island.
We then purchased pretty white dress to share for both of us for only $25. We have both worn it since then. After getting back on the ship, we went to hot tub for a little while and enjoyed it while most everyone else was still off the ship. We then went to the thermal spa and enjoyed the view from there, and watching some people run back to make it onto the ship.
We the went and watched out window on deck 4 for departure and sundown. I enjoyed both the waves, and the sundown and immense Oasis of the Seas while sitting in the window.
I then played in minute to win it style game. It was fun but we lost and got a highlighter.
We then rushed to get ready for dinner, so we could make it to be on the morning show for the next day for my birthday. After dinner, we watched the aerial show in centrum from 7th floor. In this case, the 1st floor would have been better since the better part of the dancing was on the floor level.
We then went to to bed early so we could get up early enough to still have breakfast in the dining room as opposed to the windjammer.
