Sailing To Busan Korea

Today was a restful day at sea with with light winds and a calm ocean. After the fiasco of the boarding yesterday there was plenty of complaining. People basically said that Princess should have given some information as to why there was a delay. One rumour was that the port authority would not allow the ship to open a second gangway although it was opened in the morning. Another was that the “authorities” were upset that the ship was going to Korea.

    We started our usual sea routine with zumba in the morning followed by a port lecture. The guy has to be the worse one that we have ever encountered. Again we learned all about his career and so very little about the ports. He did 2 ports and there was nothing of usefulness in either of them. I am glad that we did our own research before the cruise! Besides we have been to Busan before so we know what we want to do. We will tour with our friends again.

Under the Weather

   Lunch with tea at the International Cafe and then a peek at the line dancing followed. As usual it was very basic but I never expected anything different. Judy went back to bed as she is still fighting a cold. Our CAA agent gave us a voucher for dining at a specialty restaurant so we made reservations at the Crab Shack. They serve nothing but sea food. We have been before and enjoyed the shrimp, crab, etc. They only have it available for lunch 1 day during the cruise. Our shore friends and a couple that we dine with will be joining us.

   The rest of the afternoon was a quiet one. Our appetizers arrived at 5 pm. After a glass of wine, we headed to the Skywalker's for a drink, then went to see the Australian comedian again. It was a different show from the other night but we both found it funny. We were late for the welcome aboard party and the champagne waterfall but managed to hear the Captain welcome everybody. He noted that there were over 500 Canadians on the ship which is the most of any group except for Americans. Dinner was very good and was the new (to us) production show Born To Dance. We were glad to see that Princess has modernized the routines.

  Tomorrow Busan and another immigration experience.
