Breakfast this morning was at one of the main restaurants and we were not impressed. It will get a second chance tonight. After breakfast Barb headed for the excursion desk and signed up for "Highlights Of Tahiti". So now we have excursions scheduled in Hilo, Nawilwili, Moorea and Papeete. Hopefully I'll figure out how to get photos posted.This relaxing at sea is really hard work. We wound up taking a two hour nap in the afternoon.
Barb made a 7:30 reservation at the Botticelli dining room for dinner and although it wasn't the fastest service the meal was good. At least mine was. Scallops and shrimp covered with mashed potatoes. I know, sounds weird but it worked. Barb was a little under the weather with a bit of motion sickness and didn't eat much. We will see how Dramamine works for her.
Monday - Got an extra hour of sleep last night by moving one time zone West. After our experience with breakfast yesterday, we headed to the Horizon Court today. Nothing wrong with scrambled eggs and lox.
Because we are on a Princess ship there are 24 hour a day "Love Boat" reruns, which Barb is watching off and on. I'm 414 pages into 1049 pages of Tom Clancy's "Full Force And Effect", one of six books I downloaded on the iPad just for this cruise. If one is interested, there are dozens of shipboard activities, but we for the most part stay away. Our time is basically sit back and relax.
Before lunch we took a couple of laps around the ship on the Promenade Deck. This is one of our shipboard activities and something we will be doing everyday. Unlike Norwegian Cruise Line, they don't have markers telling you how far you walked, so I'm guessing maybe fifteen miles. Then again maybe not quite that far. After our walk I stopped by the International Cafe and got a free Mocha courtesy of neighbor Mike, who gave me a practically unused coffee punch card from his last Princess cruise. Thanks Mike! Lunch was two slices of what could likely be the worst pizza we've ever had. Actually it was the worst.
Next up was a nap after which Barb made a reservation for the Crab Shack. Popular place, we couldn't get in till next week. Now we are just sitting out on the balcony watching the world go by.
