This morning we got up and had brunch on the ship before heading to our Snorkeling excursion - which was probably our favorite excursion so far. The catamaran was nice, and the beverage service was excellent. We stopped at a reef - about 8 - 15 feet in depth - and snorkeled for about a half an hour. Then we headed out to the Antilla, the best wreck in the Caribbean to snorkel. The boat sunk in only about 60 feet of water, and part of it rises above the water. This was SO COOL! Grant and I had never snorkeled a wreck before - the water was so clear and you could see everything . The ship sunk in the 40’s. It was really awesome. Also this was mom and Bobby’s first snorkeling experience. Bobby was a little unsure but Mom really loved it!
We got back and took showers and then got ready for dinner. Tonight’s menu was International. I had a crab and sushi rice roll, a Greek salad, a lobster bisque, and Hawaiian curry scallops. (Way too much curry - I didn’t eat much of it.) Other things that were enjoyed - chicken drumettes prepared Mongolian style, Prime rib, and desserts - butter pecan sundaes, chocolate torte, and bread pudding.
Still tired from earlier, we headed back to our staterooms. A movie, Music and Lyrics, was just starting and we decided to watch it. We had decided earlier that we were going to skip the show tonight anyway - it was Aj and Aly, this hugely popular group among the preteens, and the shows were so full that they were stamping people’s hands to make sure they didn’t try to see both shows. We figured that there were SO many people that wanted to see it, and we didn’t really care, so we’d just sort of watch from the back for a few minutes and then take off. As it turns out, we just watched the movie and didn’t go to the concert at all.
At ten, we headed up to the Goofy Pool, where we watched National Treasure from lounge chairs on the Ariel view screen. It was cool - like being at a drive through, only all of the food and drinks were free. It was a nice evening, warm but not too hot or humid. Now we are pulling out of Aruba! Good night!
