Day 31: At Sea

This was definitely a lazy day for us. We slept until 9am (with that one hour ahead thing), had breakfast on the Terrace Deck (two bird seed cookies for me), then used the pool and hot tub and generally chilled (I listened to an Audible book) until it was time to go to our ukulele lesson. I think we’ve forgotten more than we ever knew, but it still so much fun! After that, we rested in the cabin until we got cleaned up for our eleventy-seventh formal night of the winter. 

The evening was filled with the Elite Lounge (we go, not because we’re even a little hungry, but just to see chef Santiago who puts his heart and soul into the food taste and display) followed by dinner in the Michelangelo Dining Room (I had the Asian salad made dinner-sized and topped with chicken breast and i wish I could have that every night at this point) and then a show in the Princess Theater.  






The iced tea is every bit as bad as you’ve read it is

It was a particularly good show night: the Princess Theater performance was Jason O with an Elton John tribute. We saw him in October on the Regal Princess and I always love his show. Front row seats where I can see the keyboard and G can see the musicians and we’re both happy. 

But that was all we did this evening. I think we’re at that point in this streak of cruise days where a movie and book in the cabin feel like the perfect way to end a day.
