A Day Relaxing at Sea

Connie:
Today we sailed from Princess Cays on our way to St. Thomas. It will take us two days so we didn’t make landfall today.

Rob took some down time, I did a few activities around the ship. He actually went with me to the shopping seminar but bailed after the first hour. Guys and shopping don’t always mix. Maybe the handbag quality lecture did him in. Anyway, I stayed long enough to get the discount book and some additional coupons. Looks like I might have a really good time shopping in St. Thomas.

After lunch, Rob relaxed again and I went to a seminar on diamonds. That lasted all of fifteen minutes for me because I had heard it all before. That left me with time to go to the scrapbooking talk in the Crown Grill. I got a free night photo of the Emerald Princess and some embellishments to go with it. It was fun.

All this time Rob had been treading water (literally) in the main pool which has a Jumbotron above it that they use for movies under the stars. They were playing Iron Man and he had fun watching it.

At 3:00 p.m. I went to a wine tasting. They had lots of canapés as well, but I’m not a caviar, lobster, crab or steak tartar fan. I gave mine away. Had a good talk about wine though. I did learn a few things.

After that we both had some relaxation before the formal night dinner. Rob looked great in a tux and we had our picture taken. It took so long because of the line and the photographer’s French attitude that we were half an hour late for dinner. We still got food and our waiter forgave us. The people we have been dining with are from Maryland and really nice. We also discovered that the people at the next table are from Wisconsin (Polk County). What are the odds?

We wrapped up the day and hit the hay. Rocked by the slight swells.
