A Lazy At Sea Day

Today was a sea day and the final one of the cruise. We have been up and down the coast of Norway and are currently in the English Channel. It continues to be beautiful sailing with no white caps to be seen. It has basically been that way all cruise. The last day always means packing all the stuff that we have collected in the past 2 weeks. The clothes are the easy part since you just take everything. We started the morning with the zumba

Calm Seas

class. The 30 minute work out was easy again compared to some of the classes we have done on other ships. Later we saw the display of Diana's most memorable outfits. They were all replicas. She was the godmother of the Royal Princess when it was christened. The display included photos and a short note of the occasion when she wore the dresses. The centre piece was her wedding dress. Packing followed – always a chore on the best occasion. The room stewards have a luggage scale which we needed! We didn't want to be repacking on the floor at the airport. We have seen this happen before. The final line dance class was today. He did Sweet Home Alabama and the Tush Push. That is a new one for Princess cruises. This instructor was much better than some of the ones we have see. Still please put the Electric Slide out of it's misery. Many of the people at the class could do the Tush Push. We were among the the Asians who knew how to dance. Actually it was fun. A light lunch and more packing followed. Again the schedule looks full but filled with bingo (twice), Effy sales (over and over) and spa specials none of which have any particular appeal. We did attend the pre dinner lounge for some sushi meeting some people we have gotten to know on this cruise. Then off to dinner. The food has been consistently excellent. Little things have changed but the quality of the food has remained excellent. This ship did not have the crew talent show as we have seen on past cruises. Instead they had a Royal variety show. Apparently it is a “British” tradition. It was a mixed bag with some of the entertainers taking part. Actually it was quite entertaining. Luggage out and has gone already. We do gain back an hour tonight which is a good thing since we are leaving at 7:40 tomorrow. We will be landing in the afternoon of Canada Day. Happy 150 Canada.
