You get to choose an aromatic scrub when you sign up for the spa package. Heres my tip. They say they will mix it for you and then bring it to you in the steam room. But if they get busy, guess what? You'll be a shriveled ol' prune by the time they find you. So I left the steam room, stood back in line and patiently waited for the 3 people in front of me get help before she said she could mix it for me. It makes no sense to have them maybe bring it to you if they're not busy. It's better to have them mix it for you before you go in. Just a thought.
Go to the aromatic or gentle steam room to open your pores and then scrub the mixture on you with the mini loofah sponge. After you can either rinse it off or just lay on the thermal bed, relax or meditate (some people fall asleep) and let it moisturize your skin. It all depends on how much you use if you have to rinse it off.
For lunch we try the "English pub lunch which is offered only a couple times through out the cruise. The fish is moist and a little greasy but I guess that's the way English way. The French fries are amazing and the peas are actually good spicy and mashed.
I always wanted to do "Afternoon tea" as me and my daughter are both tea lovers.
White glove service and bite size sandwiches along with scones and cookies is heavenly to me.
They have classes called "Creativity at Sea" so we decided to to try the "Paper Flowers" class. Su, a very cute Korean girl teaches us how to take 2 napkins, tear them apart and fold it into a fan, staple it over a straw and pull the pieces out to create a white looking carnation.
I guess it's a fun way to spend 15 minutes even though I had flashbacks of grade school activities.
It's formal night and being that clothes got wrinkled in packing we decided to have them pressed at the cleaners and didn't realize we wouldn't get them back in time so we decide to forego this one and go to Alfredo's pizzeria where they hand toss your pizzas in front of you and make an unbelievable thin crust Italian style pizza. The nice thing was everyone was at formal night, so we had the place to ourselves.
After that we go to the entertainment for the night which is "Do You Want To Dance". Now I envy and admire dancers so I actually love these shows. I also love that they run around 30-45 minutes. They did everything from a 50's segment to my all time fave band "The Gypsy Kings" song Bambalayo. That's all I needed to hear!
Then we headed to take the teens to the " teen club" but they were all headed out because the movie was starting. Oh well, we' ll try sending them over a little earlier the next night.
I'm ready for bed.
