At Sea To Bermuda

           We finally got out of Lauderdale at 3:30 this morning. For whatever reason we missed our sailing time by more than a few hours. I think that they were changing one of the radar domes and I suspect that was the reason for the delay. Either that of the captain can't tell time! In any case we got up late this morning to the sounds of the sea!
     All the stairs (108) to the lobby was starting to take a bit of a toll so we decided to skip Zumba for today and just have a slow pace to the day. Judy did a slow walk on the deck while I went to hear about the General Motors story at the cars lecture. One thing that I did not know was the large number of car companies that were formed around 1910. Slowly they became the big 3. He has photos of all the different autos from back then which are very interesting.
|     Morning tea followed and then we listened to the port talk on Bermuda. Having been before we had a good idea of what there is to do there. We plan on just taking the ferry to Hamilton and wandering around. We both went to the science lecture.
Chocolate Again
It was on disaster movies and how they abuse science in awful and hilarious ways. It was quite light hearted . We did catch the last part of the line dancing class. It was jammed and she was actually doing something more interesting than the standard Princess dances (electric slide – agh!) The rest of the after noon was spent by the pool enjoying the nice weather and listening to the live music.
     Tonight was the first of the 4 formal nights. Of course that meant the champagne waterfall and greetings by the captain. He has a heavy accent and does not seem to be comfortable in public. Although the ship seems to be really crowded now there did not seem to be many people at the waterfall . There was a show going on at the same time. Princess use to serve mixed drinks and wine but now it is only champagne. 
Chocolate Dessert

Dinner was good again. Our table is down to just to the 4 of us. If someone was scheduled to have dinner with us they did not show up the last 2 nights. We skipped the show as it was a full show with the singer from last night. Since this is a time advance night we decided to turn in early.
