I got up at 6:55, dressed and went to breakfast at 7:30. After breakfast, I went to the library and picked up the daily crossword. I returned to the cabin and worked it and at 9, I went down to the BB King Lounge for the Coffee with Jai featuring the Nieuw Statendam Singers and Dancers. Afterward at 10, I went to the SPA and had the complimentary massage sampler on my neck and shoulders. I returned to the cabin and then went to the Cruise Specialists area with Tom Mullen until 11:15 while waiting for my cabin to be serviced. At 11:45, I went to the Lido for lunch. After lunch, I returned to the cabin and read until time to get ready for the eclipse which is estimated to begin at approximately 4:48 and reach totality at 5:50 and ending at 6:49. At 3:45, I went to the Billboard Onboard for a drink and it was very quiet since a lot of people were on the outer decks already so that they would save a good viewing position. The Captain was attempting to find a hole in the clouds as the partial eclipse began and he was successful prior to totality. I went up to the back deck and took a few of the totality. At 6, I went to dinner and after dinner, I updated the blog with the pictures. At 7:25, I went to the Billboard Onboard for a drink and listened to the two pianist. They were doing all requests and they were great. I returned to the cabin at 8:10 and read until bedtime. I have no tour tomorrow so I will tender in and just walk around the town.
