December 20, 2011 - Another lazy day on the Ryndam. Woke up late, a little seasick & had some dramamine. Then off to the Lido to sample the salads, smoked fish and cakes. Lots of ice cream too. Spent most of the day hanging around the swimming pool atop the 12th floor, where a poolside DJ provided musical accompaniments.

Also checked out the gym near the 11th floor Spa. The Spa will have to wait for next week, but we did use the elliptical for an hour. Lots of fitness classes were provided for the younger crowd - Core Body conditioning, Pilates, Yoga & the like. But most of the older crowd opted for "Introduction to Windows 7" and "Photoshop basics" by the resident techxpert. There was a resident doctor, resident diamond purchasing expert, resident cook and they made sure we didn't miss out on acquiring arcane bits of info in our free time. Morover, the captain would butt in from time to time on the P/A system with info on "What is a bridge" and "Stern vs Port vs Starboard" and other mariner minutiae.

Cozumel tomorrow!
