We have Your Time Dining (YTD) this cruise, but being that we were both so tired, we didn’t feel like changing for dinner. We decided to go up to Tiffany’s Restaurant on the Lido Deck. Most of what was on the MDR menu was available here tonight. I had the Maryland corn chowder and sweet and sour shrimp, while Patti made herself a salad and also had the sweet and sour shrimp. We both had yogurt swirls for dessert.

I couldn’t keep my eyes open any more so I made my way back to our cabin. Patti went to play the first session of Bingo in the Mikado Lounge…….

 

She had no luck tonight, so she decided to explore the ship a little bit. Here is the Mark Twain Library on Atlantic Deck 8…..

 

Also on Atlantic Deck 8 you will find Duke’s Piano Bar. Here Matias plays the piano for the crowd…..

 

Down on Empress Deck 7 in the Grand Atrium Lobby, you will find the Fun Hub on the starboard side…..

 

Here’s a view looking up to the skylight……

Ship model in front of the Imagination Dining Room…..

 

 

 

The ship model says “Imagination” on the side and on the bow. I know they are sister ships, but shouldn’t it say “Elation”? 🤷*♀️[emoji23]

The ship model is in front of the Imagination Dining Room which is why they used an Imagination model. :cool:
