First Sea Day!!

January7th/2017

We slept very well and I was so relaxed that I wanted to just roll over and stay in bed. The sailing was very smooth. We could feel very slight movement and a bit of a shudder every now and then but it was just enough to make a person sleep soundly.

This is our eleventh wedding anniversary and it began with a very nice room service breakfast. When we opened our door we found balloons and a sign and a card.

But last night at dinner Mary and Janeen and I made plans to go to the pool on deck 15 to have a session of water aerobics. Mary will be the instructor; apparently she has been doing this for 23 years. I never have so we will see how I make out.

The group is  very aware that this is our wedding anniversary so with that in mind they have decided to treat us to dinner at the Crown Grill this evening. This is also formal night so it looks as if this will be a very busy fun day.

I went to Water Aerobics with Mary and I darn near froze. The water was very cool and the wind was blowing a gale. But I did muster up my courage and I got into the pool and I soon was jumping around like an old pro

. When we began visiting and moving around I rather enjoyed myself and it did not seem as cold. We left the pool and got into the hot tub. That was a real treat.

I will go again.

Then I came back to the room to change out of the wet clothes. Then I went down to the International Café and got a latte. Next I found my magnet. Actually they did not have the magnet but they did have the key ring so I will have Ken remove the loop for the key ring and add a magnet to the back. I will then have another ship magnet. I believe this is Princess ship number 14 .

Before we knew it we had to get ready for dinner. Janeen called and they invited us to come to their room for a drink before we all headed for the Crown Grill. It was a nice get together. It is obvious that their room is bigger than ours. I think they have a BB balcony. Did I mention that I will not get a BF balcony again??

At 5:20 we headed down to the grill. There are not enough superlatives to describe the service we received. It was amazing. The food was also amazing. Between the 6 of us we had several different choices and all of us were very pleased. I had scallop for my appetizer and it was mouth watering, the best ever. Fred had the lobster cake and it looked so good that next time I will give it a try. For the main course the group made different choices, lamb, and pork and lobster and beef and sea bass all of which were great. The dessert chosen by most was the item called the chef’s selection. It was actually a selection of 4 different samples. They did not disappoint.

 Because it was our anniversary they brought a cake and sang Happy Anniversary. We blew out the candle and cut the cake but we could not eat it.

 They are bringing it to our table tonight. All of us will enjoy it then. WOW what a great meal it was and what a grand anniversary gift it was..

Ken and I went to our room and changed out of formal attire and went to the Princess Theatre. The show was Piano Man and as usual it did not disappoint. We are always amazed by the high energy of the singers and dancers.

We next went to Horizon court for a drink, both of us was thirsty. I had skim milk and my pills and Ken had water. We also had some fresh fruit. By now it was about eleven o’clock so we called it a day and a night and went to bed.

What an amazing anniversary celebration it was!!

Tomorrow is another sea day, Yeah!!
