Today was a shit day. Steve was an asshole most of the day. He was up at 5 then after his his shower turned on the lights. Of course that started a fight which was the plan. Breakfast was not till 9 so we glared at each other for three hours. What he was really upset about was that there has been very little family time. He went by himself into Nassau which pissed him off. Back in about 1.5 hours. I was able to get a few minutes stitching. The he wanted lunch. Most ofvthe food on the ship is mediocre at best. Then we went back to the room to play 5 crowns. We headed out to walk aimlessly around the ship. We checked out the shops which were closed. Finally we settled on ice cream and sitting out at the adult pool. LaWanda came by and played dice. Sourpuss refused. Saw a few kids as they came back from playing with the pigs. The back to the room tried to take a nap but asshole can't not make noise. Then dinner which was good. Then comedy show. Where a few family members showed up. So grumpy puss was happy. Home .
