By the time we woke up the ship was really tossing and turning.
Lying down was by far the most comfortable thing to do.
Sitting was next best.
Standing was not fun.
Walking was problematic.

Everyone else took dramamine, I avoided it and barely managed to avoid being sick.

I decided not to start drinking until late in the afternoon because I'd fall asleep before dinner if I drank all day.
We mostly lied in bed and read all day.
Seas were stormy and there was nothing to see.

The pool was apparently unheated.... for a ship that cruises Alaska, I'm not sure why.
I only saw children and a few parnets in the pool.
I did manage to find the hot tubs - there are three.
The largest one is barely warm.
One of the smaller ones is at warm but not what I would call bathwater temperature
The last small one was actually close to the proper temperature of hot tub.

Monday night was the first formal night in the dining room.
Collared shirts were optional.
I chose Hawaiian, the most formal collared shirt I brought.
I was underdressed and loved it.

The dining room was at the stern, and it tossed and turned much more than our rooms in the middle of the ship.
