A highlight from today was lunch. A few days ago I had mentioned to mum that I really wanted some nachos for lunch. The ship gods have smiled upon me and today the theme at lunch was Mexican and boy was it popular. It was a tasty, tasty lunch.

Due to the afternoon tea dance that scheduled for the afternoon, several of our key activities were moved to a different time . As we are all creatures of habit, this of course caused chaos across the ship. Zumba and morning trivia were on at the same time; however bingo, choir practice and afternoon trivia were all shifted. Every so often you would see someone looking a little lost and unsure of what activity should be being done. Here's hoping tomorrow things are back to normal.

Mum has had her first swim in the pool for the cruise. There is even talk of laps being done. Some other pool users are super keen and can be seen swimming up and down the length of the pool. Other pool users seem quite happy to bob around.

After dinner we are off to see Iron Man 3 on the MUTS (movies under the stars) screen.

Tomorrow we will need to miss our Zumba session (and mum may be late for choir practice) as we are (in the words of the hotel general manager) part of a select group of passengers who will embark on a fascinating behind the scenes look at the inner workings of the Dawn Princess. Tomorrow morning we are doing the ships ultimate tour that lets us see exciting things like the ships engine room, bridge and other crew only spaces. As we’ve been told we need to wear appropriate footwear it should be an adventure.

Fun fact:
One of the more interesting questions from this afternoon’s trivia session drew upon the fact that in Knoxville Kentucky, it is illegal to lasso a fish. How exactly you would/could lasso one is beyond me, however good luck to anyone who tries.
