Celebrity Solstice Postcard #14 – A Tasman Sea Day

So with the clocks going back another hour last night we had some more time adjusting to cope with. I’m still waking up very early and then feeling very tired come 10:00 in the evening and would love to try and rectify that and hopefully over the next week or so things will fall into sync.

Today was another sea day and weather conditions were a little better than yesterday. We arrived down in the Tuscan Grille at 8:30 expecting it to be quiet but we’re surprised to find lots already there so probably all suffering from similar sleep patterns as me.

Afterwards being as it was cloudy we decided to do some walking and probably completed around 15 or so full circuits of the open decks, using the full perimeter of the ship making use of the steps up and down between 14 and 15 to complete the laps.

The walk was made more eventful because of the 4 metre swell we were sailing through and it was a bit like walking around a giant see-saw. The next two photos will give you some idea.

We also spotted Azamara Journey heading in the opposite direction and she is to date the only ship we have seen apart from ones in port, the seas here are very quiet compared to other areas we have sailed.

At about 11:00am the skies cleared so we headed up to the Solstice Deck and found a couple of beds out of the wind to get the best out of the situation.  We persevered with it there until just after 1:15 before popping down to the Mast Grille for a lunch of burger and fries.

With all the best sheltered spots around the pool on deck 12 taken we headed back to the cabin and saw the rest of the afternoon out on our balcony which luckily for us had the sun on it. If it hadn’t of been for the wind today it would have been a perfect sea day.

Tonight is the third and final Chic night of this cruise and we are also aiming to go to the theatre tonight where the act is a acrobatic one called Euphoria.
