Sea Days

You may be wondering how we spend our time on the days at sea, besides eating of course! Both of us enjoy the lectures on the ports, plus talks given on various subjects by guest lecturers. We've attended a cooking demonstration, a wine tasting & a galley tour, participated in a game show similar to "Card Sharks" (we each won a Princess Cruises luggage tag -- wa hoo!), practiced yoga & worked out in the fitness center, walked the deck (Bill's policy is to order 1 dessert for each mile walked), and joined the trivia contests a few times. Along with our dinner tablemates, we've entered the Scrapheap Challenge, whereby we have to build a vessel capable of carrying a case of beer across the pool and back. We're really enjoying working with our 6 new friends on this. The base is made up of empty 1.5 liter water bottles, with a frame of PVC pipes that one couple bought in Papeete. We're also using a beach mat and duct tape that we picked up in Honolulu. I'll let you know how we do in the competition.
