Year 5, Day 188 “Living the Dream”. Tuesday, 11/04/2025 – Day 29 of 30 day trip to Rome, Italy with a Mediterranean cruise and a transatlantic cruise back to Bayonne, NJ. Day 14 of 14 night transatlantic cruise on Odyssey of the Seas – At sea day 6 of 6 traveling from Tenerife, Canary Islands to Bayonne, NJ. The day arrived with sunny skies with rough seas.
The waves are 13 to 16 feet and the winds are 50 to 55 miles per hour. With the winds across the decks being 80 mph. At 8am the captain announced to please do not walk around with your hands full. Hold on to railings and wear flat shoes. No heels today. Most decks are closed and the pools are all drained. A lot of entertainment and activities may not take place. He also strongly advised not to go out on your balconies today. These rough seas will be with us all day. The ship is creaking like an old pirate ship. “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me – Drink up me hearties!!!! The captain keeps announcing to please be careful around the ship. They have slowed down the speed of our ship.
At noon time we are 220 nautical miles from Bayonne, NJ. This journey is coming to an end.
Lunch in the Windjammer buffet was spent talking to a wonderful couple from Georgia. The afternoon was spent NOT IN THE CASINO. lol. We are taking some money home with us. Instead of watching the casino machine lights. In the afternoon, I wandered around. I watched the ocean waves. I reflected on all the wonderful, kind people I have met in the last 29 days. Every person I have interacted with have made my time away so enjoyable. In all the ports, and on the ship. Everyone of you have made a positive impact in my life. We are all one in the world. Safe travels home and remember every step you take is part of something bigger. Hopefully we will meet again in our journeys. Keep in touch and Thanks for the Duck hunting!
Cruise Compass Day 14 of 14 – Odyssey of the Seas – At sea
A little something to ponder.
Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://amzn.to/492X2ol Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw: Perfect for traveling. Great on cruise ships. The ships water is fantastic. Much better than carrying the plastic water bottles. Especially if you are as concerned about adding more Microplastics in your body as I am. It is BPA, lead, and phthalate-free.
