Throughout the day Royal Princess will continue on a south
easterly course over the North Atlantic Ocean towards the north east coast of
Puerto Rico, then north heading for the island of Anegada, where the course
will alter to starboard and pass Saint Maarten on the port side.
Today we woke to a gorgeous morning of blue skies, calm
seas, windy as usual and temperature round 260C. After a snug fit in
his suit pants Richard has decided today to fore go the bread, cheese platters and
other fatty foods and follow my healthy eating.
On Deck 17 we checked out the gym, did a 2mile brisk walk
round the walking track and on the level above we watched the passengers do a
Zumba routine. That gets the heart level pumping. As we walked back through the
gym we joined in on the seminar “Secrets to a Flatter Stomach” which was
interesting (nothing we didn’t already know) but it was just another thing to
buy their Algae product. Once the head Instructor mentioned the word “Detox” we
both looked at each other and knew the sell was coming. How to part with US
$149 for a couple and we know our blood, cholesterol, etc. is okay.Settled down near the pool for lunch, watched the men get up
for the “Sexy Leg” Competition which was hilarious watching them strut their
stuff around and in the pool. When the Caribbean Pan music started playing we
departed as it wasn’t long before we had to change for the Captain’s Circle
special event invitation in the Theatre.Well it was a waste of time at the Captain’s circle special
event 15 minutes of very loud singing and music then a lucky ticket draw for
three couples (bottle of champagne for two and upgrade as a major draw).Found a table right in front of where the Champagne
Waterfall was taking place in the Atrium Piazza. Lovely piano music while the
champagne glass pyramid was being formed. Took progressive film while a team
were putting it up and at 7.15pm Giorgio Pisano the Maître d’hôtel poured
bottle after bottle of champagne over the glasses with the assistance of a long
line of passengers having their photo taken with him. Followed by a speech from
Captain Bob Oliver who introduced the top executive staff and then a late
dinner in a near deserted Horizon Court.
