Another of Our Favorites - a Sea Day!!

Thursday, October 29, 2015
Blue skies, calm blue sea, sunshine, warmth, light breezes…..can it get any better than this?  What a perfect “sea day.” A day to relax, do what you want to do, enjoy great food, read, sing with the pop choir, play games, listen to live music, and chat with fellow travelers.  We’ve wandered the ship just soaking up the atmosphere, dreamed dreams, shared favorite memories, and best of all made the arrangements for another seven days in the Caribbean to celebrate my 75th birthday in January.  
Today has been a PERFECT sea day.

Today includes a “formal night” which means by 5:00 the ship was filled with people dressed in their very best evening wear strolling, enjoying live music, getting their photos taken, enjoying a special dinner and for those of us who have traveled many times with Princess sharing at a cocktail party

with the Captain of the ship and the executive officers.  All six of us who had been sharing dinner together attended the party together.
It is fun just to spiff up and see everyone else all fixed up after a week of running around in shorts and bathing suits.

Following the very special dinner which included lobster as one of its selections, (here is our waiter Dan with us at the dining table)
we walked to the other end of the ship to the Princess Theater for the evening show – all soul music performed by the singers and dancers.  While that isn’t my favorite music, the company sure did a fantastic job of presenting it. 

Afterwards we walked to the aft of the ship to the Vista Lounge for the performance put on by a comedian, guitar player and guitarist, Paul ?,  who has worked with the Beach Boys for many years as well as many other well -known musicians.  He had some wonderful but funny stories to share about some of the entertainers he has worked with but in between provided great music.

By the time that came to an end we were bushed – it had been a great day but it was time for bed.  How we love the fact that you can go “out for dinner” dressed to the nines, take in professional entertainment, and then just take the elevator or climb some steps to your room.  No driving and fighting traffic.
