The other DrC has a great photo taken looking aft from our balcony, we’re located forward on the starboard side. The line of life boats and tenders begins just aft of our room, as the photo shows.
As is typical, the dining rooms are located low and aft so it is a long walk to supper or to lunch. We get exercise that way, it’s more walking than I normally do ashore.
The fifth day at sea and we’ve finally gotten far enough south to get warm weather. At lunch by the pool today it was positively sultry, and the overhead that can roof over the pool deck has been retracted so fresh air is circulating.
Tomorrow we dock in Honolulu, probably by the Aloha Tower if past cruises are any indicator. We will be there for a bit over 11 hours. Having been here many times, we have no touring agenda at this port but will probably do some minor shopping.
Later … We get another time change tonight, it appears that Hawaii is three hours separated from the West Coast, at least while the mainland is on daylight savings. Hawaii opted out of time changes as its location somewhat near the equator means winter and summer days are of nearly equal length. I conclude that means in winter there is only a 2 hour difference.
