Cruising the Atlantic February 14 and 15

The first two days of our 4 sea days seemed to pass rather slowly.  The water has been mostly calm with little wind.  Everyone is grumbling about missing the Falklands as it seems that the weather is not really the cause but in fact the problem with not being able to cruise at full speed. There was nothing special for Valentines Day other than fancy desserts at tea and giving roses to the ladies at dinner.  We had dinner in Prime 7, the specialty restaurant that serves steak and seafood.  The meal was better than the first two times we had eaten there, at least the food was hot this time.

Everyone on board seems to be getting rather tired of the code red restriction and they don't really tell us many details other than we need to keep following the protocol.  We have noticed a lot of the crew must be sick as we are seeing many new faces in positions where the regular crew members are missing. We are scheduled to have the big deck party BBQ on the 18th but have been told that it will not happen unless there have been no new cases of illness for 72 hours prior to the event.  We will keep our fingers crossed as the party is usually really nice and the one on the last leg basically got rained out.
