Day 7: Day at Sea

After 4 islands back to back we were all ready for a day at sea. It was sad though that it also meant we were heading back to Florida. It was crazy to think that we had traveled so far South it was a 2 day trip back.

After our typical Sea Day Brunch we spent the day hanging out with Lorelei. We went from the pool, to the candy shop, to the arcade (she incorrectly calls it the RKO. I guess that is a wrestling move. Thanks Ethan). She eventually asked to go to Camp Ocean because she had a date with one of her friends. We dropped her off and Nate and I went and enjoyed a Guy's burger on the lido deck. We sat on the side and watched the water. Thankfully it had calmed down. The night before it was crazy bumpy. So much so they had closed off some of the higher outdoor floors and we instructed the teens to not go outside. After lunch we went and played Trivia in the Lobby and enjoyed a couple bloody marys. Man do I love their olives. We picked Lorelei up around 4pm and instructed Ethan to be back by 4pm to shower.

Ethan asked me if he could do away with his curfew for the last 2 nights. I couldn't say yes to a limitless curfew but I did agree to a 3am curfew. Nate looked like he wanted to puke.

This evening I was wearing a navy blue dress and the boys were suppose to be in their tuxes from the night before. Ethan asked me if he could wear the navy blue bow tie and vest. Remember the ones that before the cruise I didn't want?  What came out of Cruise Sabrina's mouth..."Sure, I don't care! Let me see how they look!" I told you I become a different person once I'm relaxed and on that ship. Jasmine and Kynna took Lorelei down the hall and curled her hair while Nate and I finished getting ready. When we were all done boy did my family look great.


Dinner took awhile that night and the teens wanted to hit up the club by 8:30 so they ditched dessert to go back and change. Lorelei wanted to go to the Camp Ocean Party and showing of Frozen so she skipped desert. On the way back to the room she grabbed some kit kats from the candy store and grabbed her glow in the dark bracelets. I took her  to camp while Nate got ready and she did the funniest thing outside of camp. She goes running up the stairs. Says, "STOP! I got to get ready!" Dropped to the ground, put a glow in the dark bracelet on each ankle, 2 around the next, and 1 on her wrist. Opened up to kit kats...literally shoved them in her mouth and said, "Let's go!"

I met Nate in the room and went upstairs to have a drink before the comedy club. Fisher and Ethan had made plans to attend the 18+ adult show. Fisher is 18 and the shows hadn't been that bad so we agreed to let Ethan sneak in. Shit at 6' tall you don't really have to sneak in. Of course when we met up with Ethan he had some friends with him. Kynna's parents said she could come in. She too is tall and the same age as Ethan. But Jacob is like 5'4" and looks like a baby. Marie said he could come in so I told him to hide under the table until the lights went off..Worked like charm.

Ethan expressed some interest in going into the casino. We told him if he was with us we would allow him to sit at one machine and pull the lever. When it was time to he changed his mind. Oh, I love that boy. So much talk to him with little action. He was too scared to get caught and changed his mind. Off to go play with the teens he went until 4am. We all went to the casino bar after the show and hung out until we had to pick Lorelei up at 1am. During casino time Nate finally decided to gamble. He did pretty well at Texas Hold 'Em and ended the night up $120. Note bad for the first time playing for money against real people.

Pizza. Ice cream and bed. And yes, Ethan talked me into an extra hour somewhere between 12am and my nightly pizza.
