April 10, Second Full Sea Day

Slept well last night. Discovered that the chain of my locket broke so I will have to see if I can have it repaired here. It seems strange to not wear it. I got it 23 years ago and have worn it continually since then.

The sun is shining and the sea is calm today. I got 2 ducks ready to hide and left a treat for our room steward.

Back to our dining room for breakfast. We were seated with 2 American couples. Fortunately they we very friendly and Politics was not discussed. One couple from Texas and one from South Carolina

That made for a very pleasant breakfast. I checked out the 10 dollar day sale and it was just one small table of scarves and hats, It has come a long way from the full dining room of goodies that it used to be. Not a jacket or a sweater or a hoodie in sight. I guess I will have to continue wearing my jacket for another day until we get into tropical waters.

The met and greet was at Skywalkers at 10:30. The group had 165 people so it was sort of overwhelming but we did meet one couple and had a good visit.

We went to a dining room for lunch. At first  I thought we made a mistake say ing we would share.. One couple seemed very rude and the other two seemed very quiet. But after a while people began to chat, we were correct about the rude couple but the others were friendly.

After lunch we each took a nap and then I showered and got ready for dinner. Our canapes arrived and they were very nice. They we got dressed and headed to the dining room. There were lots of people dressed up and it was so nice to see everyone in their finery. I love formal nights. Usually we get a bottle of wine on formal nights and we have a glass each night. Well I think Princess is trying to get people to purchase their packages and they have just about doubled their prices. I bottle of  white wine, a Pino for example was priced at around 60 dollars US. So that would be around 100 dollars CDN. We did not buy wine tonight.

Our service is usually quite slow. We enjoy the visiting but it means we are slow getting to shows. The show tonight was Do You Wanna Dance? We have seen versions of it before but we wanted to go. There were no seats so we returned to our room. It was great to turn up the heat and get into my cozy robe. 

The second sea day has come to a close... I don't know what we will decide to do tomorrow.

I keep sharing my warm wrap with you in the dining room, but 'vicarious' doesn't seem to work that way! Have to take the Walmart shuttle at the first port!! [or you could always borrow a tablecloth...]
