This is the ‘another’ restaurant, not the main one.<\/p>\n

Here, you choose between omelets and hotcakes, and they bring them directly to your table.<\/p>\n

But it takes forever \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n

\n\"Cruise

After breakfast, we started exploring the cruise ship in earnest!<\/p>\n

Came out to the deck to get some fresh air.<\/p>\n

The foam seemed particularly visible.<\/p>\n

\n\"Outdoor

We also checked out the outdoor pool and another dance program.<\/p>\n

There were too many people, and I just enjoyed the breeze, so I didn’t join. \u314e<\/p>\n

Even though I took one Magmil every day for my constipation…<\/p>\n

I only went about once every three days… (TMI rambling)<\/p>\n

I guess I just hadn’t adjusted yet.<\/p>\n

But that day, my stomach suddenly hurt, so I couldn’t make it back to my room.<\/p>\n

I used the cruise’s public? restroom, and the interior was so pretty that I took a mirror selfie.<\/p>\n

For lunch, we ate at the sushi place in the main hall.<\/p>\n

The all-you-can-eat lunch was 16 euros, which is quite affordable.<\/p>\n

This was also recommended by the tour leader.<\/p>\n

It couldn’t beat Korean sushi, but it was still pretty good. \u314b<\/p>\n

I only refilled the eel sushi. \u314e<\/p>\n

I love eel.<\/p>\n

Swimming after eating \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n

I covered my face this time because it’s not flattering.<\/p>\n

There were two water slides, and both were really fun with no lines.<\/p>\n

Others said there were a lot of people, but<\/p>\n

it was always not crowded when I went, so it was great.<\/p>\n

It was a bit embarrassing to ride alone, but once you ride, you forget about that \u314b\u314b<\/p>\n

\n\"Water

Seeing the ice sculpture sitting there alone,<\/p>\n

I remembered that they probably do a carving performance here,<\/p>\n

but by the time I came back after playing, it was almost over… \u314b\u314b<\/p>\n

There were no seats, so I barely managed to take a picture.<\/p>\n

I wondered what it was… but then it suddenly turned into a dolphin. \u314b<\/p>\n

\n\"Ice

And then, out of boredom, I went to the casino \u314b<\/p>\n

But the NPC there looked so much like Blake Lively from Gossip Girl<\/p>\n

that I kept staring… Is it her…? No, it can’t be…?<\/p>\n

Seeing her lip-syncing in English, I guess not…<\/p>\n

\n\"Casino\"

Hehe, the most fun program on the cruise, Bingo!!<\/p>\n

How much was it if you won…<\/p>\n

I think 3 bingos was 100 euros, and full bingo was 1000 euros.<\/p>\n

Why am I winning here too?<\/p>\n

They were giving out prizes through a raffle,<\/p>\n

and my number was called first, so I got an extra bingo card. \u314b<\/p>\n

(The blonde staff member next to me was the one who helped me with the casino jackpot, so I felt a bit awkward. \ud83d\ude1c)<\/p>\n

After that, the memorable prizes were a limited edition Costa baseball cap and more,<\/p>\n

but it’s been two months now, so I can’t remember… T_T<\/p>\n

To prevent boredom during Bingo, they show things like this in between.<\/p>\n

Come on, just call out the numbers faster!!!<\/p>\n

Three people got full bingo with only 4 numbers left… \u3160<\/p>\n

Too bad for my money… (not)<\/p>\n

Had another drink while eating the dinner course…<\/p>\n

I’ve gotten into wine.<\/p>\n

I ordered one less dish because I was too full from the sushi.<\/p>\n

But the shrimp was really delicious.<\/p>\n

And then I went to the buffet restaurant for fruit \u314b<\/p>\n

The peaches were so delicious.<\/p>\n

They were firm but as sweet as water peaches… the best.<\/p>\n

What’s with the light blur<\/p>\n

And this was day 5 or day 6, I’m not sure,<\/p>\n

but it was a program I couldn’t go to… which I really regret…<\/p>\n

Everyone enjoyed the club party wearing headphones….<\/p>\n

If you take off the headphones, it’s just quiet\u314b\u314b\u314b\u314b<\/p>\n

If you put them back on, it’s like a club.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t go because I fell asleep early… but mom enjoyed it properly.<\/p>\n

There aren’t many photos because it was a sea day.<\/p>\n
