Day 6: At Sea
I snoozed until about 7:50 and since mom was still asleep I decided to take all the clothes and go do laundry. The one on Deck 10 was pretty close but it was occupied. They very nicely have a map of where all the other laundries are, and the next closest one was on Deck 8 Aft. I headed down there and it was empty which was perfect. It took me a little bit to figure out how to work them. They have step by step instructions but it was still a little confusing.
I used both of the washing machines because I wasn’t sure how big a load they could handle.
When I got back to the room mom was finally up. She had slept for 13 hours. She asked me to get her a coffee while she woke up. I could choose our breakfast destination if I got her coffee.
I loved seeing the ship empty in the morning.
We decided to go to the Royal Court for a sit down breakfast. On our Wonder cruise we went to 3 out of 4 breakfasts at Tritons and we had yet to have a sit down breakfast except for Palo on this trip. We were so close to Cabanas that was just the easier choice, and we could get as much as we wanted at the buffet.
We stopped and put the laundry in the dryer before breakfast. We also stopped by Guest Services to sign up for the galley tour. Unfortunately they only had 1 spot left and 6 people on the waitlist. Mom was fine with me going alone, but I knew I would regret not having her there to see everything with me. We’ll have to remember the galley tour for future cruises.
We were sat in our same area as dinner; I got a few pictures I’d missed previously.

I started off with a bagel and cream cheese
Mom had some pastries
I also had a cinnamon roll
I had a mushroom and cheese omelet with a hash brown, it was so delicious!
Mom had a vegetable open faced omelet, she said it was the best one she’s had in her life!
Breakfast was absolutely delicious and a nice change from Cabanas. A CM came around near the end of breakfast and asked us about our dining service team. He said to be completely honest. They like to hear feedback so they can be better. So we were. We really liked Martin and Karen, but Martin was quite sensitive and Karen was pretty controlling. He said that’s he’s heard the same things from other people and Martin has been working on it.
With breakfast complete we headed upstairs to grab the laundry. I had asked mom how she felt about skipping Palo dinner that night so we could enjoy dinner with our tablemates. She said it was completely my decision, she was fine either way. She would be missing two dinners with them since she had skipped last night’s dinner. I had until 2:00 to decide, so I mulled over it.
We dropped off the laundry in the room and headed off to do the Mid Ship Detective Agency. We had to wait a little bit for a family in front of us to check in so I took some photos. They had just finished the Jack Jack Diaper Dash. We watched this last year on the Dream and it was so cute. In the right corner on top of the piano you can see that the winners get a Jack Jack. I want one so bad!

Mom checking us in. they give you a tutorial and then you have to ‘register’ a card that somehow tracks your progress throughout the ship. There are three different mysteries you can choose from, we chose the Muppets and the Lost Show.
It was great fun, and took over an hour to complete. We had to collect clues all over the ship. They had this adorable Muppet door which had lots of clues on it.
After our successful mission we went to the room to relax for a little bit. We went through Cabanas as usual and they were serving lunch already. The chef's dessert special of the day was a toffee cake and I had to get some. They also had coconut pineapple icecream which I needed to have
both were delicious.
