Friday morning found us sailing on the open seas. Our fabulous cruise through the south Caribbean was winding down. With no destinations to explore, we were free to explore our home on the water, the Summit.
Special tours of usually off-limit areas of the ship were offered to passengers on our sailing day. Passengers could visit the engine room, galley, or navigation deck. The tour of the navigation deck and engine room were fascinating, but perhaps the most remarkable fact we learned was that the galley uses, among other things, 1800 dozen eggs and 800 bottles of champagne EVERY DAY. Wow.
Visits to the on-board gym were also enjoyed. Well, maybe not enjoyed… DAR members were spotted on the rowing machine and treadmills, doing their best to combat the accumulation of calories that the magnificent cooking team in the galley was providing on a daily basis.
