Half Way To Greenland

   Around 6 tonight we were over half way to our first port in Greenland called Nuuk. It is up the western coast a bit from the other ports which are on the southern edge of the continent. The temperature is in the low 40's.

It was a better day at sea for activities and everything we attended was packed. That is to be expected with the 3000 plus people aboard. We started the day with a Zumba workout. It was the not as hard as the first day even though it was the same instructor. They had another holiday shopping day – all items for $10.00. I also went to a basic photographic class. He covered many basic topics but it was a chance to do something different. The advanced class is to come later. They tried to hold a “chat with the cruise staff” about life

at sea but most of the comments were about the lack of activities. For example, where are the port talks? Why is there only one lecture aboard? Etc. With 2000 elite (veteran Princess cruisers) people notice the differences on this ship. We took the time to watch an on demand movie, then had a small lunch in the Atrium.

    After a Neil Diamond tribute show, we stayed for the workshop by the Magician from last night. He demonstrated about 6 tricks and how to do them. They are not “magic”. I only guessed how part of 1 trick was done. He explained in detail how all were done so we can now amaze our friends. That took care of the afternoon except for a Rumba dance lesson.

    We did have our photos taken as tonight was the second formal night. We still have not heard about the Captain's party or the wine tasting. Before dinner we saw a new production show called Broadway Ballroom featuring music from Broadway hits. It is only on this ship. Our reaction was ok. There were only a few songs

that we recognized. Jersey Boys and Abba were included. The swells are down to 1 meter so they could safely perform. Other than the normal Effy jewellery and one game show, there were no other activities planned for the evening. We were along eating tonight. One couple had other arrangements and the other ate quickly in order to get to the show, We had a leisurely dinner which was very nice.

   As were are far north, the internet is spotty at best. I can get on in the middle of the night. Some of the posts may not be the “right” date. Last sea day tomorrow
