The Gratts Cruise the Caribbean Day 6: Sea Day

We slept in until around 8:30 and then just relaxed in bed watching TV.  For breakfast, we all decided to do the Sea Day Brunch which was in our Southern Lights dining room.  I got two eggs with hash browns and chicken sausage.  And oh yeah, REAL orange juice!

 Ben got the blueberry pancakes which looked delicious but he wasn’t a huge fan of them.

 

I really enjoyed the brunch and it was a much nicer environment than the crowded, noisy Lido.  I was looking forward to coming back to tea at 3:00.

Ben had gotten too much sun on the Serenity deck the day before so he wasn’t up to doing much.  We decided to find a shady spot to lounge in and I wanted to read my book.  We ended up on Deck 5 by the Lanai hot tubs.  Nick got me a Twilight Zone from the casino bar and it was the best one yet.

 

At one point, the boys went to Oceanside BBQ for a snack.

 

It was nice to relax in the shade but we chose a very noisy area apparently since we were so close to the hot tubs.  Almost every adult that tried to go in said it was too cold and left but all the kids loved it.

The boys went to Red Frog at then Ben joined me for Tea Time at 3:00.

 

I was really looking forward to this but it was disappointing.  The servers could not keep up with the amount of people.  I think we were the first ones to leave.

Ben needed a nap so he went back to the room while I found a shady lounger on the Panorama Deck where I read for an hour or so before going back up for a nap myself. 

We all met back at 6:30 on Deck 5 for sunset:

 

Even though I had no makeup on, I went ahead and asked Nick to take our picture.

 

I told Ben we should plan to dress up for the last sunset and take pictures, but I’m glad I took this one because Ben ended up missing the last sunset.

After sunset, we went back to get ready for the second Elegant Night.  Ben didn’t feel like wearing a suit so he wore dress slacks and a shirt and I wore a long maxi dress but wore dressy jewelry to jazz it up.

 

Dinner was chateaubriand—I loved it and ate almost every bite. I ate so much, I finally skipped dessert. 

 

I squealed with delight when I saw my towel animal!

Tomorrow would be our last sea day before sailing home.
