The "Are they really doing what I think they are?" Story
It was an ordinary day. We were heading back to our room after a trip to the beach in Grand Cayman to swim and mingle with the stingrays. Really neat experience, but we are tired and need a little rest before or evening meal. Back to our room means back to our stateroom in the cruise ship Explorer of the Seas. Our stateroom is located in the center of the ship and is a very nice size with a balcony. Jerry, Just Sue, Carol and I decided to take our first cruise together and decided on Royal Caribbean's Western Caribbean itinerary. We left from Miami with ports of call to Belize, Costa Maya, Cozumel and Grand Cayman. We left from Miami January 28th and headed to Belize which is our first stop. First day we headed to the pool for the day and thoroughly enjoyed the evening meal and show. It seems that each day, after leaving our room for the days activities, the maids enter the stateroom and clean, dust, straighten everything and make our towels into some cute animal or item we will recognize. Always a treat to see what they have done. And, we roam the halls to find them and tell them how neat a job they did. First day they sculptured a stingray out of the towel and put candy bars on it for eyes. Right in the middle of the bed. Pretty neat job! The next day they created some type of dog with Carol's sunglasses on it. Third day they made a shirt with collar folded down and chocolate squares for buttons. Nice, but not as nice as the other two designs. Then on the next day they did this monkey hanging from a hanger. That was pretty neat. I looked at what they did and tried to take it apart so I could recreate it myself, but was never able to do it. Every day we looked forward to what we would find when we entered the room. The next sculpture looked like an animal holding the TV remote and then came the lobster with the sunglasses on its head. Well we have one more day where we can expect to be treated to some artwork. We depart our tender that has returned us from Grand Cayman and head past Jerry and Just Sue's stateroom. They open the door to see what greets them on their bed. Two swans which are facing each other and seem to be kissing. Now that's pretty cool. Carol and I set a time to meet them for supper and head to our room. We open the door and sure enough there are our swans, but they seem to be doing more than kissing. I'm not sure how to tell you what they were doing, so I guess I'll let you decide for yourself when you see the picture. And ..... how about that. And .....the maid who was passing our door as we opened it and also looked in, turned red! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
