Superbowl At Sea!

After a really good night's sleep after the long day yesterday, we were ready for some sea days activities. The schedule was built around mostly morning activities as we have found on other cruises. We will see tomorrow if this was done because of the football game which was shown in all the entertainment venues as well as on the stateroom TV.

We ate breakfast at the buffet although we had enough time to eat in a dining room. Of course Zumba started the day. Most of the routines were fairly easy to follow but I am a bit sore in the knees. Could be all the stairs that we are doing? The instructor did do a Proud Mary routine! We could only smile!

    The exercise was followed by a lecture on the humpback wales that are currently in the Hawaiian Islands. They are off Maui , our first stop. They still had openings for the 2 hour whale watching tour that we had intended to book earlier. We hope to see some of the 12,000 whales that are there. Next was a Ukulele class. The ukus were supplied by Princess. Unfortunately the whale lecture ran overtime and we could not get an instrument. We did sit for most of the lesson so we could join the next class. We wanted to go to the photography lecture but we were late and the class was held outside where the temperature is still around 15C (60F). By then it was time for lunch where we shared a table with people from Las Vegan and Michigan. Both knew about hockey which was a bit unusual.

   Before the football game, we attended a ballroom dance class in the Piazza. The dance was the meringue. Tomorrow they will teach the cha cha. By the time we got to one of the larger venues, all seating was taken so we ended up watching the game in our cabin. It was not as much fun as compared to a party, especially since Judy did not watch the game except for the half time show.

     By the time the game ended it was time to get ready for the evening. We wandered around the ship listening to the various entertainment before dinner. At dinner tonight another couple showed up. They are from London. So we have a British and a Scottish couple. The British couple have “heavy” accents which make it difficult to hear in the noisy environment of the dining room. I don't think I understood a word that they said. In the Princess Theatre there was a female singer. Just what we needed after dinner. We had heard her before; I recognized her voice. We gain an hour tonight as we head west. We have one more time change before we get to Hawaii. Formal night tomorrow.
