Day 319, 19 May 2013, Well.... Not actually in Havana, Cuba - but we waved on the way past. Today was a "Sea Day". Just when you thought you could relax and amuse yourself for 5 minutes... Welcome to cruising! The day has so many options to amuse people who flat out can't read / amuse themselves! Seemed rude not to partake. I went to a Shopping Show! Cozumel, Mexico is apparently renowned for it's shopping opportunities and everything your little heart could think to desire is right on the pier in a sanitised, homogenised, pasteurised shopping area with lots of restrooms and security. Bloody brilliant - can't wait! James is turning a delicious shade of nut brown interspersed with the odd patch of tomato red where the sunscreen rubbed off. We met up on the Lido deck for lunch - Mexican, Pizza, Burgers, Fish & Chips, Deli Sandwich bar... and a buffet for the indecisive and near starving... in honour of tomorrow's port of Mexico, it was tortillas for us. We stayed religiously away from eating venues for the rest of the day to save ourselves for Elegant Night. That's what "Formal Night" is now called because "Formal" was raising the bar a touch too far. Dressings up was accomplished and it was great to start using the cruisy summer clothes we acquired in New York. We looked swish and the fine dining restaurant did us proud (Golden Olympian Restaurant pictured). The first big production show was on tonight - production meaning lots of skimpy outfits and feathers with a live show band. Apparently the Carnival Liberty show band won a competition and was judged Best in Fleet - they won a trip to Europe... so we got what was left! Just kidding - Show was fun and very well done given the stage was moving along with the ship... Seriously big night out for us - after the show headed to another lounge for the Comedy Club Adult Only show at 9.45 pm... Hilarious opening line to make sure illiterate folks hadn't brought their munchkins along "This is an ADULTS ONLY SHOW. If you are under 21 you should not be here. Offensive material will be presented. Parents, you should not have children here. If you do you are seriously f**ked up parents - this sh*t will scar them for life". 'Nuff said eh... Luckily they evacuated the youngsters because he was hilarious. And vewy, vewy ruuuude! As if we hadn't packed in enough for the day, we were way laid on the way back to the stateroom by a Motown party in the Casino... dancings were accomplished. All in all we think we ticked off all the main "to do" items on the list: Sunbaking, Swimming, Eating x 3, Show, Comedy and a boogie. Lucky we're getting into port first thing tomorrow. Wouldn't want us to get bored now would we....
