We were never hungry. With most unable to resist all this good food, on-board exercise is mandatory. For our constitutional, we did laps daily on the Lower Promenade deck. Particularly on days at sea, from daylight on, there is a parade of people circling the deck. In addition, four other bars and smaller lounges feature music for listening and dancing.
Tourists like to shop, and shipboard shops offer just about everything.
Working our way toward Panama, on the second day out, the ship was scheduled to anchor at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas. Unfortunately, though, it started raining heavily in the morning causing our captain to cancel the stop. When cancellations occur, every effort is made to add another stop. In this case an alternative might have been Ocho Rios, Jamaica, but there was not time enough if we were to make it to our next port, Cartagena, Columbia, in two days. Cartagena, founded in 1533 by the Spanish conquistadores, is known for its massive stone wall built in the 17th Century to protect gold and mineral exports from British invaders and pirates.
