Strong westerly winds during the
night and a swell of two meters. Good night’s sleep woke when the ship anchored
off the shore of Princess Cays on Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas. Tender
attempted to enter the small harbour bay and dock but the swell was two meters
making it unsafe to transfer passengers to the island.
The Captain made the decision to
up anchor and sail back to Port Everglades at a slower speed to arrive at the
same time tomorrow 7am. The weather today is forecast as north-westerly winds,
overcast, two meter swell and possible rain so looks like another day at sea
watching movies, listening to music in the Atrium and walking round the ship.
Can see islands on the horizon
from our balcony suite on the starboard side of the ship, still very windy
outside and no one is in the pool as the swell is rolling the ship plus it is a
bit dangerous to be in the pool. Ventured down to Deck 5 and enjoyed a Latte in
the Atrium doing a bit of people watching.Decide on smart dressing tonight
and dine in the Traditional Concerto Dining Room for a sit down al a carte Menu
and be waited on. Seeing I had pre-ordered my three course dinner last night
and my dietary details are in the computer I am set for every night if we
choose to do Traditional dining. Good service and meal so I think we might dine
here every night instead of the Horizon Buffet. In saying that if we are tired
and wish to be casually dressed then we will go and have a buffet meal.Nearly 9pm found a table in the
Atrium and our friendly Russian drink waitress brought over our drinks while we
listened to the New Deal playing the oldies. Took a video of two couples that
dance to the speed of snails when fast tunes are played. Retired when they
finished at 10pm.
