Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate. That’s the mantra.
Today we went to a wine tasting event where they probably had 40 or more bottles of wine/champagne available to taste. I didn’t taste quite that many, but I did try all the champagne and dessert wine choices. After an hour or so, they took all the wine away and folks left.
Shortly after wine tasting, we went to Afternoon Tea and enjoyed the little sandwiches and desserts and drank lots of tea.
Not sure if champagne, dessert wine and tea count as hydrating.

Note- forward is the front of the ship and aft is the back of the ship.
In a sample day, here’s how I’m getting my steps in. Walk up from deck 7 forward to deck 9 forward for fitness class, forgot my watch and phone so back down to deck 7 and then back up to 9. After fitness class walk down to deck 7 forward to change clothes, walk up to deck 9 forward opps- dining is at the back of the ship so off I go to the back of the ship for breakfast. Then down to deck 4 aft to check at the destination counter for a cruise calendar but it’s not there so back up to deck 5 aft at the Future Cruises desk to get the calendar. Then up to deck 7 forward to pick up stuff to do. Then up to deck 9 forward- oh oh forgot, the library is the back of the ship on deck 10 so walk to the back of the ship and up to deck 10. It’s time for a presentation so off I go- down to deck 5 forward. Then it’s almost time for lunch so back to deck 9 forward- oh oh forgot the dining room is at the back of the ship so walk back…and so it goes for the day…up and down, back and forth. I suspect my step count will go down drastically once I remember where everything is.
