The weather did not cooperate so the Astoria stop was cancelled and we are now spending 3 days at sea rather than the 2 days originally planned. As the day progressed, the seas did continue to build in height, but also were longer, so the ride remained about the same. Miriam and I went to lunch in the Vista dining room at the stern and the waves looked incredibly large. We then spent some more time in the exercise room and hydrotherapy suites before dinner. There were many empty tables at dinner, so service was very quick. The Captain had ordered champagne for everyone as partial payback for having to cancel the Astoria, Oregon stop. We headed to the show, which was a less than funny comedian and suspecting that might be the case we sat in the back and finally left early. We were not the only ones that did so, including people sitting down in front.
The wind continued to abate overnight, and the swells moved around to the beam, so we had a gentle rolling motion when morning arrived.
Tonight is the first formal night so we will have to get dressed up for the first time this cruise.
