North to Hokkaido

Ready
Ready

Today was a lazy day at sea. Although the captain warned about rough seas, it has been a relatively calm day. The seas are up but we are running with the waves and there was very rocking except for some gentle side by side motion. The day started with a light breakfast and then zumba. The instructor is good and the venue is full. The floor the sides the back – people are all over the place. The workout was about 35 minutes long. We see more people doing zumba during these cruises. We then attended the port lecture and he was a bit better today. He at least said that there is a shuttle bus at the first port but did not know where we would docked for the second port. After that we stayed for a lecture on Magellan and his voyage around the world.
   We were at the specialty restaurant “Crab Shack” which was a gift from CAA. We met
The End!
our friends around 12:30 and enjoyed a leisurely 2 hour lunch. Our waiter was a bit disorganized but we managed to enjoy the sea food and a glass of wine. Fried battered shrimp and poppers, clam chowder and then crab legs and peal and eat shrimp, wine followed by a nice dessert and tea. After all that we wonder if we will need dinner!
  The Princess theatre show was a comedy and Acrobatics act by 2 from Canada. It was funny and well received. A light dinner followed. Late night had a discovery at sea where they turn off the upper deck lights and explain the heavens. We have done this before tonight it was cloudy and we saw very little. They may try again on another night.
  Tomorrow we are in Hakodate on the north island. It may be the best stop on this cruise.
