Some people don't like the days at sea very much. They prefer days in port when they can explore new places. I like both. Sea days are really good when the weather is bright and sunny. Lots of passengers head for the pool and some get really sunburnt. Us small critters don't have that problem; Mum won't let us get wet and our fur won't let us sunburn. So we usually find a spot out of the wind where we can watch the ocean slide past and try to spot whales and flying fish. On "Radiance of the Seas" our favourite spot was on a table on deck 12, far enough back from the edge to keep Mum happy. We didn't see any whales, but we did see flying fish and an albatross. And of course Mum and I got our "Kate and Leo" photo at the very front of the ship. There is always a wind blowing across the deck of ships at sea. Usually the ship is clipping along around 20 to 25 knots and that means a wind-blown Mum hanging on tight to the precious small bear. Please note that not even I am silly enough to disobey a sign like the one near us in the photo; I have no desire to be run over by a cruise ship at full speed.
