Mediterranean Cruise - Day 4 - Sea Day


This was a really nice and relaxing day. We had to turn our clocks forward an hour the night before because of the time change leaving Italy and heading for Greece. We slept in a little later that day and were worried that when we got to the buffet for breakfast that it would be crowded and difficult to find a seat. To our surprise, there was no problem at all!

The thing I love about the setup of the Equinox buffet as opposed to other cruises I have been on is the way the food is laid out. There are a series of small “islands” of food so that you could easily maneuver from island to island without having to wait on line for the person in front of you to get their food.

In the early afternoon, Ben headed off to the gym and I went in search of a chair to get some sun. The sun sure is strong in the Mediterranean this time of year! I couldn’t stay out longer than an hour because I started fearing experiencing the sun poisoning I had acquired while in Thailand a couple of years ago.

Afterwards, I spent the afternoon reading and organizing my photos and Ben stayed out on the balcony playing a baseball management computer game that I do not understand.

The only negative of our cabin was the fact that we could hear every time our next door neighbor flushed the toilet… this normally would not be an issue except for the fact that we realized our neighbor either has an overactive bladder or some case of bad food poisoning. Any time we were in our room, we would hear flush after flush after flush…

We really enjoyed the laid back sea day to “recharge” in preparation of five back to back port days coming up. 










first formal night that evening


This day gets a 9/10 because it was exactly what a relaxing sea day should be… Ben gives it an 8/10
