Almost the last sea day

One thing I will say about this cruise - I've NEVER been on a ship with this much movement as last night and today- I'm sure some of it was related to the fact we were in the open Atlantic and going 20 knots, and our room was so far back (and up!) on the ship, but it was really interesting when we go to the pool deck after breakfast in Luminae, jammy packed with people AND you'd think there was a wave machine in the pool.....!   This reminds me of 2 other previous trips - one on Mariner of the Seas with my sister and family (they closed the pool it was so bad, but not after we had some good fun in the pool!). And my favorite memory, when on our transatlantic cruise on Adventure of the Seas, and some pompous old lady in the pool is informing everyone in the pool "that the ship has a wave generator" and that's why the pool is so splashy.   ?????????  When I asked her why she thought they had a wave generator, she pointed to the drain (!) at the bottom of the pool and informed me that was it.  I asked where she had heard it, and she claimed "she just knew one when she saw it".   Umm, okay crazy lady.......

We left the pool area again when the bad music started (3pm!) and had some snacks in the room - tonight was the 2nd "evening chic" night and we were hitting the show afterwards (ROCK CITY) as it was new.   Dinner was quite good in Luminae (duh) and about 830pm we headed to the show, where our butler Cesar, seated us in the reserved suite section.  The show was....interesting.  Not bad, but I'm not raving about it either.  Not as weird as Topper was earlier in the week, but listening to U2 and Nirvana being sung poorly (the girls were good, the guys weren't) was pretty odd.  And, the music selection was squarely targeting the 40-50 demographic....with most of the ship being 70+ - so I'm not sure how that's going to work out for them.  I liked their previous show "Eclipse" better, but since I'm not running Celebrity Productions, I don't think they care either.  It was definitely not as expensive to produce either, the sets never changed.   I did also find out that the blonde girl singer is the staff captain's girlfriend.....

After the show was over, stopped by the Martini Bar and then headed upstairs to bed.
