For example, after one of the first rock dredges (where they put a device down to the seafloor to collect rocks) we got to see a rock that they think is from continental Antarctica and we learned how they can date it to see how old the rock is. How cool!
Dinner is my favorite meal of the day, mainly because the entrees are the best and we usually get a nice, warm dessert to go with it. I definitely have a sweet tooth, and my favorite so far has been the blackberry brioche bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Who knew life at sea could be so delicious?!
After dinner, most of us either head up to the observation lounge on deck 9 for board games/reading/crafts or to the theater for a movie. We also have a room with a ping-pong table, foosball, and arcade games! There’s almost always something fun going on at night to participate in. There’s also lots to see while at sea - we’ve already seen many icebergs, birds, and even humpback whales!
