Finally Some Warm Weather

Sailing Along

     Yesterday was nice but today the weather warmed even more! People we sitting around

Enjoying The Outside

the pools, sunning themselves and just enjoying the calm seas ans the partly cloudy skies. I should note that the blog date is off. The reason for that is that because of the limited internet time, it has not caught up to the location change and I haven't tried to change it yet. Although the final time change is tonight  (I Think - my mistake) we were up early and had breakfast in the dining room with a couple from England and one from Quebec. Obviously we had a good time conversing about the vortex that they left behind.

Market Place

    Mark was back teaching zumba and did a good job. He ended with Proud Mary – again. It seems to be a go to song. We stayed for the first of many enrichment lectures. It was on Michelangelo and his genius. Although the speaker has taught at the university level and in teacher's college. He was terrible. He read the whole presentation, spent about 15 minutes on Egypt and made too many references to the movie about his greatness. He was very wooden! All his slides had his name on them. If you get the idea that it was terrible, you are getting the idea. Problem he will be around for the rest of the cruise. We may not go back.

    The ship already had a Hawaiian marketplace where the they sold Hawaiian souvenirs. We took the rest of the morning walking all the decks, just wandering

Tea Time

the outside of the ship. It was good to see all the people out enjoying the day. Lunch was the Princess British pub lunch. We hit the door right between the lineups, sat at the bar and had the lunch. Tea followed and then we waited for Salsa dance class. The teacher does a very good job of teaching the basics but we did not practice enough. 3 dances since we started; can we remember the steps? There was some “line” dancing but enough said.

    We managed to return to our cabin just in time to see coverage of the State of the Union. We headed to the Elite lounge for a few nibbles, the took in the magic of Justin Gentry. Judy doesn't like that kind of show but it is always an interesting. Dinner with our new table mates, then the variety show – 2 singers from the previous shows.

Tomorrow is the last of the sea days before the islands. The temperatures at our first stop should be very warm. We do get the time change tonight.
