Sunday – December 11, 2016 Sunny with a ‘Fresh Breeze’ – 83 degrees
I slept peacefully last night. The ocean was calmer this morning with a bright hot sun casting sparkles on the deep blue water. There must have been a squall last night with strong winds. I thought the stabilizers were working well because the ship doesn’t roll very much. When it’s windy, there’s just an occasional shudder and the walls creak a little.
We had another “Day at Sea” today so we started with a leisurely breakfast in the Provence Dining Room. It was nice to be served but breakfast choices were more limited to traditional morning options than at the Horizon Court. I prefer yogurt, fruit, and granola to eggs, etc. We met three more couples during breakfast who were from Tucson Arizona, Kansas, and Phoenix, Arizona. The older woman from Kansas dominated the conversation with her non-stop bragging but she and her husband had taken 62 cruises, mostly with Princess!
After breakfast, we went to the theater to hear a presentation called “Hooray for Hollywood Romantic Comedies” given by Roy Short. He commented on ten “Rom-Coms” and showed clips from the films. It was well done and entertaining.
Jeff and I tried a challenging trivia quiz but didn’t do very well. We got 3 1/2 right out of 15 questions but the best score was 8 out of 15 so maybe our score wasn’t so bad.
We walked around the promenade deck, had an Indian themed lunch at the Horizon, and returned to the theater to hear a presentation about Puntarenas, Costa Rica which will our port of call in a couple of days.
We went to another trivia quiz later in the afternoon and did much better: 15 right out of 20! It was a much easier quiz. We don’t do well on recent pop-culture questions. Later, we had good iced coffee drinks in the atrium while we people-watched and listened to a classical guitarist.
After a German-themed dinner, we watched a light-hearted musical performance in the theater. All in all it was a relaxing and easy day.
