Coffee on the balcony, gently waves rolling by, and no horizon in sight … let me hold this memory forever. 🥰
Mark’s back from his buffet breakfast of salmon and eggs. He says that it’s a rough lifestyle but somebody has to live it. 😂
So conversation at our lively dinner party last night was a blast. The beautiful couple from California spoke English very well. They live in Los Angeles and love it. The other couple, from Winnipeg Canada thought of themselves as “not exotic” but nothing could be further from the truth. They’re well traveled and spend 5 1/2 months in Tucson annually. They live on Cambie in Transcona! Their grandson lives with them and works as a train mechanic at C.N. That led to reminiscing and who do you know. What fun!
It’s another formal evening on the ship with a musical show in the Princess Theater 🎭 … what to do? So many choices. I reflected on value for the dollar on this cruise as I relaxed on the balcony. (We’ve been on roughly a dozen cruises in our 30 years together.) At $333 per day, per person (not counting our airfare of course) we’re housed in a top-end balcony Stateroom on the Aloha Deck (12), room refreshed twice daily with towels, bed making etc.) Then there’s the meals … either fully served in one of the 6 dining rooms or buffet-style on Deck 15. Our drinks are included … fancy coffees, Chivas, Dewars, Champagne etc., and the entertainment! Princess excels at attention to detail on the entertainment! I truly believe there’s something for everyone, everyday. Bottom-line … it’s a “bargain” to cruise.
Our “compartment” hotel in London was $1,000 for 3 nights. No housekeeping, no food, no entertainment. Hey, we loved every minute of our London/family visit but dollar to dollar, no comparison.
By the way, 2 people, asian-sounding names, missed getting back on the ship last night! We wonder what may have happened to them?
An oil rig … unusual as we’ve been seeing thousands of windmills!
Current location … the North Sea is calm and a glorious navy blue! Delicious lunch of Caesar salad with shrimp for me … roasted chicken and corned beef for Mark. Now it’s balcony time with coffee.
