Breakfast in Sabatini’s
Morning destination lecture on Liverpool
MTG luncheon in Sabatini’s
Afternoon matinee performance by the Womacks
Dinner in the Symphony Dining Room
Production show Born to Dance in the Princess Theater
Princess World Orchestra in the Piazza
Today was about as perfect as a sea day gets.
I don’t usually go to breakfast on MTG luncheon days, but when breakfast is in Sabatini’s, I make an exception. Still, I limited myself to orange segments and mixed berries, just to get something in my stomach for that morning vitamin taking activity.
I got cleaned up early for the luncheon, and then went to the Princess Theater for Cruise Director Aaron’s talk on Liverpool, his home city. They have been presenting destination talks on cities obviously not on this cruise’s itinerary, just to fill the days, and today’s lecture served to whet my appetite for a trip to Liverpool (and maybe not by cruise; we’ve long talked about doing a land-based British Isles trip).
Lobster starter
I was so excited by my scallops entree that I forgot to take a photo!
Delicious for coconut lovers (we are)
We had missed singing duo The Womacks when they first performed a couple of nights ago, and so were happy to get a second chance in a matinee performance at 3pm. From there we had 30 minutes for a lie down before heading off to the PES Lounge and then dinner.
The lighting in this afternoon’s show was so impressive!
We had no right to eat anything for dinner, but Roxana had told us last night that she would be making penne arrabbiata again tonight, and there is always, ALWAYS room for arrabbiata. We even enjoyed one scoop of orange sorbet, because that’s another favorite.
Tonight’s Princess Theater entertainment was production show Born to Dance, my current favorite on the Regal. We got front row seats more than an hour early and the theater was full more than 30 minutes before showtime. Luckily, this one has the Times Square video lead in, and we were kept occupied watching for our favorite people (the penguin guy and the speedo and cowboy hat guy) to appear. Based on the LG GS phone ad in the video, we think it dates back to 2012.
Unfortunately, there was some technical issue with the video so it was closer to 8pm that the show began, and it was still lacking the backing video which made the stage a bit dark, but the cast persevered and, in reality, it provided more of a connection to the cast because there was nothing else to look at in the background. But it was harious to see CD Aaron do all but tap dance to keep the audience entertained while we waited.
We exited from the theater into the Piazza for the Regal Princess World Orchestra. It was very different from the rock concert on the Ruby but so much fun as we took a musical trip around the world, finishing up with Hey Jude and Uptown Funk. It was a very good evening after a very, very good day.
As predicted, the time changes are starting to catch up with us a little at the end of the day, as 10pm was 3am just a few days ago. Still, with just two more changes remaining before we arrive in Texas, I will miss our 25 hour days.
And, finally, the Blogger app and Hotmail worked again for me. I’m pretty sure it was a geographic issue. I was quite happy about that; I thought it would take cell service in St. Thomas to get them working again. I remember last year on the crossing I lost access to my bank accounts for a few days and then it magically reappeared.
