During the night the seas got a little rougher; not bad, just a bit of rolling. Breakfast up on deck 7 at the buffet was a little wobbly. We spent some time down in "the Living Room" on deck 1 chatting with an English couple about their cruise experiences before going for the last lecture by Bill Miller on the world of cruising, which is not to be confused with the ocean liners that did the crossings and were primarily transportation, luxurious as it was. Cruising is more of a vacation where you stop at various ports and often end back where you started. He said there are 117 ships in production or scheduled for building now, the biggest being built for the Chinese market that will take 9,000 passengers. Yikes.
We had lunch up on deck 7 at the Explorers Lounge and spent an hour or so talking with another English couple. The rolling started to give me a headache so we came back to the cabin and I watched a forgettable movie with Pierce Brosnan while Michael napped. Dinner in The Restaurant was good with Sam and Roslyn from Riverside and Joan and Ron from upper Wisconsin.
I love having unlimited WiFi which allows for texting. We learned that grandson Reagan fractured his arm today at school. Hopefully no surgery, but to be determined by the specialist. At least he's smiling in the picture with his sling.
