Monday 8 October - day 48 - Day 3 on the Oasis of the Seas (at sea)

Today will be pretty much a day of rest.  We went to the buffet for breakfast, then did 2  circuits around the walking track. 
Then we went and checked out our photos - they have a facial recognition thing going so mostly they can automatically put your photos in a folder, rather than you having to hunt them down.  They took three photos when we got off the ship yesterday  and two of them were automatically identified, one wasn't.  Not too shabby.  We have prepaid for digital versions of 15 photos which they claimed beforehand was a special, but in fact can be bought for the same price on board.  Won't fall for that one again - it's actually better to wait and see how many photos you want.
However, here's a couple of the photos we ended up getting:


After lunch we went to the theatre to see their production of the Broadway show "Hairspray".  It was really quite well done - earlier this year they telecast the Oasis of the Seas performance during the Tony awards.
We then did some more exploring, wandering and resting for the rest of the afternoon.
After dinner we went to another show - this is one of their water shows in the Aqua Theatre, with lots of diving, splashing, acrobatics, trampolining and high wire work too.  If it was on land, you'd think it was a fairy impressive show, but the fact that it's all happening over a pool on a cruise ship is seriously impressive.
Finished the evening off with another walk - one and a half times around the walking track and then a general wander around the ship.
