(Note we're starting on the boat)
The waves gently lapped at the sides of the massive cruise liner containing the guests for the vacation to Star Bay. The sun hung high in the sky and the sea breeze gently blew across the deck. The weather was perfect for a tropical vacation. Dolphins swam along side the ship. They were a little bit different from ones seen in most areas, instead seeming to be a soft shade of pink. The captain's voice crackled over the intercom. "Hello guests we hope you're enjoying your time along our cruise liner. We will be reaching Star Bay in two days. While you're aboard our ship feel free to enjoy any of our lovely sights on the sea. Lunch will be served at Noon and Dinner will be served at Seven P.M. Come to the dining room then to get your meals. Today for lunch we have a lovely fresh fish dish, salad or our roasted chicken sandwich. For dinner we have shrimp pasta, a delicious salad with roasted apples and a balsamic berry dressing, or a delicious roast turkey with gravy. " The voice crackled off after the announcements. Royal had been getting ready to explore the rest of the ship. It wasn't often he got a vacation and it was refreshing in a way to not have the stress of home there on the ship. He had donned a sunhat on and a nice printed shirt along with swim trunks. Typical vacation wear. He had even swapped his cane for a more 'Vacation themed' one with a design that looked like tropical flowers. He set his things down now that he was finished getting ready. He paused a moment. Had they seen the captain? He couldn't really remember if they had when he had boarded the ship. The captain probably was busy though. Royal grabbed his day bag slipping it on then made his way out of the room and into the ornately decorated hall of the room section. Lights shaped like little seashells decorated the walls and there was a few pretty paintings of warm sunny shore lines. Royal paused a moment to admire them before heading further down the hall towards the deck. On the deck the sunlight greeted him with its warmth. The smell of the sea could be smelled everywhere. He could see a nice looking pool on deck too. Maybe it would be fun for some pool volleyball or something? He settled though in the most quiet corner of the deck on a beach chair. He adjusted his tail to a comfortable spot then pulled out his book. Reading would be a good start to any vacation in his mind. |
