Boarding the Holland America Oosterdam and first Sea Day

 

Tuesday was embarkation day!!   Holland America took us on buses to San Antonio where we boarded the Oosterdam.  Such a smooth and streamlined process. We are staying in a Neptune Suite.  Had a very good lunch in the buffet. I live the salad station on HAL ships.  They have a very tasty sesame dressing.  Dinner was in the main dining room. I had a very tasty corn and chile soup, lasagna and Peruvian chicken.  Great paprika and cayenne seasoning in the chicken and crispy skin!   No dessert. 

Angie and I played a game which was called Movie Title Password.  Similar to the TV show and Name That Tune combined. You had to bid on how many words you'd need to use to have your team guess a movie title.  Very fun!!  After that we listened to a jazz band for a couple of songs.  We were tired so it was back to the cabin.  And we both slept great!!  I think the best sleep for me since we got to Panama!!  I just missed sleeping on a cruise ship. 

Today we have a sea day as we head down to Puerto Montt tomorrow.  While Angie had a Fire and Ice pedicure, I went to the Pinnacle Grill for breakfast. A very tasty quinoa bowl with veggies, jalapenos, avocado, poached egg and a tasty miso sauce!!   It's foggy and the ship's horn has been blasting intermittently.  We'll have better weather tomorrow for our excursion.
