There was a hint of internet today but it still won't send messages. It just grinds away. Perhaps by tonight we will be able to get a bit more news. We had another don't call it zoomba class this morning which we were up early enough for. The Princess Theatre evening entertainment on this ship is not like it use to be. They have the same person back for “another show” and if you did not care for it one night there is no point in going back. One of the headliners was the piano player from the bar. Everything so far has been singers. To me they downsized this part of their program. It has been a very lazy day for us. After exercise and breakfast, we did manage to get to a port lecture on Cartagena. It is one of the ports that we did not book a tour. We have been before but I think that we have a better idea of what to see this time. Everything of interest is within walking distance of where the ship will be docked. Then we just sat with a cup of tea and watched the officers do “YMCA” followed by the ballroom dance lesson. We did go to the presentation on Saturn. As to be expected, there was overlap with some of the other lectures on the cosmos that we have seen. He is the more interesting of the two lecturers. After that we retired for a bit.
We did turn in our mini-bar which is a bit redundant when everything is available with our package. We got a bottle of wine instead. Just what we need, more wine. It has been nice to just order a Manhattan every night but most of the time we get the bottled water from the bar. We did put in a future cruise deposit just in case we want to cruise again with Princess.
It was the second formal night tonight. Judy ordered tuna for our appetizers. They were ok but we had just had a piece of pizza for lunch. We were in the Elite lounge for drinks with our table mates and then had a very nice dinner. They seated a couple from Toronto tonight. She was a teacher who had exchanged to Australia 9 years after we did. It was interesting to compare notes with here. What are the chances of meeting a teacher from Ontario who had been on exchange? There was a production show tonight – Spotlight Bar. Again it was good but there did not to seem to be a theme except that it was set in a bar. I guess that is the way of the new shows. I did not recognize much of the music. No time change tonight and Maderia tomorrow. We have a full day tour. We have been here couple of times but have never seen the island. We hope to get some good photos. No time change tonight! Yea.
