Caribbean Vacation--A Diary--Sea Day--How to Embarrass a Husband

April 15th/Day 5

Sea Day. Enjoyed embarrassing my hubby by wearing my bathrobe while strolling around the ship.

Unlike most cruise lines, Celebrity gives you robes to wear while on board ship. I found coming back from the pool area in my wet suite a bit chilly. Celebrity loved their air conditioning. It was practically snowing in the hallways.

Many on board were getting sick—a hack-hack here; a hack-hack there. To keep from getting sick, I wore my robe to and from the pool. However, there were times we had lunch or perused the shopping area while bundled in the robe.

I got many a strange look from the well-dressed vacationers. Some days I felt as if I were walking through Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall. I loved the comfy robe dress with my hair pulled back and gladiator sandals look. It was a definite fashion statement! And I was proud to pull it off. Hubby, on the other hand, was not.

The best part—I didn’t get sick!

Hubby brought me breakfast from the Sea View CafĂ© and we ate on the balcony. Travis witnessed one of our “Celebrities” cutting in line at the omelet stand demanding her order. When a gentleman told her there was a line, she gave him a dirty look and walked off.

Later that night we became contortionists intertwined on top of a sheet—hey, get your mind out of the gutter!—for pictures night. My hip wasn’t the same after the many poses, and I realized my age as I pulled myself off the floor and limped to dinner. They turned out to be my favorite set of photos.



God ended the day with a never-ending sunset. Long after the sun surrendered to the sea, the canvas remained.
