We Don't Get Bored!!

Sometimes people ask us if we get bored on a cruise and so I stole a copy of a typical day's activities from another blog to show you what is usual. This one tells you what is happening but it does not always say where. The actual Patter will tell you where as well. By the way MUTS is the big outdoor movie screen. (If I can I will post an actual patter and not a typed list sometime during our adventure.)

The schedule is delivered to your stateroom the night before. Ken and I go over it and we each use a highlighter to mark what we are planning to do. We use different colors so we will each know where the other person is. We usually get together for lunch and of course we spend the evening together.
The schedule is called The Princess Patter and it also has a bio of one of the staff members and of course it advertises sales and shows etc. Basically it is an interesting read of what is happening around the ship during that day.

Besides the listed items there is always the boutiques, the spa,the gym, the beauty parlour, the pools, the hot tubs, the coffee shops, the promenades and the library. Sometimes a guy just want to find a quiet corner and read or sun or soak or people watch.

So you can see it would be impossible to get bored.
