Wednesday ~ We awoke in Montego Bay, Jamaica…to another overcast day.  We woke up and got ready to go.  Before we left we stopped and had breakfast in the Seaside Café.  It’s a nice breakfast if you don’t want to go to the sit down in the dining room.  Upon getting ashore, we decided to do some shopping in City Center.  Found some great buys…but wasn’t too impressed with the actual shopping district.  Montego Bay has many great shore excursions that you can do and many beautiful places to see, but we opted for the shopping instead; besides we didn’t want to be late for our Hot Stone Massages.  We were going to do a horse back riding shore excursion, but it was about 3 hours long and didn’t want to be sore for the remainder of our trip being this was the first Port of Call.

Got back to the ship in time to enjoy the AquaDome Thalassotherapy Pool.  This pool is a must do; it’s a salt water pool that is great and totally relaxing with areas for you to lay down on as the jets message your entire body.  Finally, the massage!  We showed up at the Aqua Spa for our couples Hot Stone Massage to be told that we we’re unable to be together.  A little disappointed in that, but the actual massage sure made up for it!  They explained that they could do a regular couples massage together, but because of the warmers they need for the stones, they were unable to put us in the same room, so they put us next door to each other.  What pampering and professionalism!!!!  If you’ve never had a massage before and you’re on the shy side…don’t worry, they are very careful not to expose anything as they adjust the sarong during your massage.  They were extra careful to be extremely quiet also to keep your atmosphere relaxing and peaceful.  This is a definite luxury we will do again!!!  We didn’t want it to end!  We enjoyed it so much that we want to purchase our own stones.  You can’t even compare a regular massage to the Hot Stone massage.  You could fall asleep but you don’t want to because you don’t want to miss anything.  You can feel the warmth from the oil and the warmth of the stones as they massage even your feet and between your toes!  My mother’s generation was the “Calgon…take me away” era.  I’ll take the Hot Stone Massage any day!! 

After our massage we didn’t want to do much of anything until tonight’s show and savor the relaxation.

We attended the Action Comedy of Thien Fu…what a character!  He was quick witted, funny and very entertaining!! 

Went to dinner to the San Marco Restaurant and went to Fortune’s Casino and won $700 put together!  It’s seems we weren’t the only thing feeling loose after our massage, so was the Wheel of Fortune!  By time we got out of the casino the Island Night Celebration under the stars was already started.  We decided to go by and check it out for ourselves.  Party Band Axis was playing to a full dance floor.  I was impressed with the set up Poolside for the buffet.  Beautiful masterpieces carved into large watermelons…very artistic!  The buffet was beautiful with an array of desserts and cookies and some Jamaican Island food that didn’t just look inviting but tasted great too!  Hadn’t planned on staying out late again but was enjoying the party!
