Day 128: Savusavu, Fiji

I turned today into a quasi-sea day; G went ashore only long enough to buy a bag of potato chips at the little market in Savusavu. After all, it is against his religion to not go ashore in every port. I’m glad I’m Catholic; as far as I know, there’s nothing at all in the catechism regarding this topic. 

Before G went ashore, however, we had a leisurely morning on the Open Deck Behind the World Fresh Marketplace. It was warm again today, but just shy of being too hot. G talked with an HVAC technician on board yesterday, and he said he was being kept very busy trying keep the Majestic Princess comfortable during these days around 90F, especially when there is hot air pouring in the open hatches all day long. 

I really don’t know why lunch is being offered on port days in the Concerto Dining Room, but it is, and this was today’s menu:

It rained on and off all afternoon, and I certainly enjoyed the enclosed Hollywood Pool. I alternately read and watched videos on my iPhone until it was time to get cleaned up for the evening. We started in the Elite Lounge in the Vista-less Lounge because we had plenty of time, and, frankly, were a tad hungry after skipping lunch.

We lingered over coffee in the Concerto Dining Room and then made our way to Princess Live. For the first time, we were going to watch tonight’s Princess Theater show being simulcast on the screens there. It was a comedian magician, and 1) it’s easier to see any tricks on a screen than from midway back in the theater, and 2) it’s easier to walk out on a simulcast than the real show  if it doesn’t appeal. Well, the start of the show was delayed for some reason, and at 7:25pm we were done waiting. We went into the Vista-less Lounge for piano entertainer Alyssa Musti’s tribute to Billy Joel. Much, much better.
