We departed New York City at 8am this morning. As we sailed out, we got a couple of final looks at NYC landmarks - Lower Manhattan as the ship turned around, and a frontal view of the Statue, without Governor's Island in the foreground. The captain stated in the morning briefing that we may hit some 10' waves today, but so far, the seas have been moderate as we reacquire our sea legs.
I participated in a longest putt contest. The objective was to putt from one side of the ship to another (in front of a bank of elevators) and see who could make the longest putt. I won the first 3 rounds, but lost in final pairing by a few inches. But a good time was had by all.
Overall, this afternoon the ship is moving quite a bit, but nothing intolerable. The seas have moderated and they will rock us to sleep tonight...
This evening was an Elvis tribute show, with Dan Middleditch telling stories and singing Elvis songs. The guy was extremely energetic, jumping around, and running up the aisle, etc. We would have appreciated a few more songs, but overall a good performance. The Island Princess Band did a good job of supporting his show.
Tomorrow is another sea day as we slooowly head towards Bermuda. One concern is a tropical depression is forming just south of Bermuda so we shall see what happens with that since we are scheduled to arrive there Monday at 5pm.
