The Crossing

We are about 500 miles out from Florida with 350 miles or so to go to reach our first stop in Bermuda. So what does one do at sea.

There are many options. The Mariner has a more than adequate fitness center along with a sauna and it offers classes for spinning, pilates, free weights, etc. There is a complete Spa operated by Canyon Ranch. There were classes throughout the day starting with art collecting at 10AM, a cooking class at 11AM a lecture on Bermuda at 3PM and high tea at 4:30PM! Last night at 6PM we had a block party which entails going out in the hallway for wine and cheese to meet our neighbors. This crossing seems to have more Europeans aboard than most Regent cruises. We are mostly old with a few youngsters mixed in. I noticed two small children under 6. Must be hard to entertain them for 18 days.

I spent my time starting at the fitness center then visited the pool and hot tubs on deck 11 while the sun was shining:










There are two personality types around the ships' pool: the readers













and the soakers:










See you in Bermuda!
