Morning Activities:
This day at sea started with a beautiful sunrise and a bright sunny day. After breakfast in the Horizon Court, we decided to explore some more of the ship. We had previously cruised on the Ruby but had never discovered the Skywalkers Nightclub, Deck 18 Aft. Guess that was because it is a hopping place from 10:00pm – late only for those 18+ and over! It is also a nice quiet place during the day to read, play card games with friends or relax and watch out the windows for views of the ocean. Another quiet place on the ship is The Sanctuary, Deck 17 Forward , a special area for Adults only.

Other places on the ship were the Shore Excursion Desk, Deck 7 Forward which was open from 7:00am-9:00am and 4:00pm-6:30pm for those cruisers trying to book excursions for the ports to be visited the following days of the cruise. On sea days the Shops of Princess, (Essence, Meridian Bay and Calypso Cove) Decks 6 & 7 Midship are open while at sea. On other days, they are only open from sailing – 11:00pm. Later in the cruise there would be sales going on! The Gatsbys Casino, Deck 6 Forward is also open on sea days from 9:00am-onwards, but in port only open after sailing.

Lunch and Afternoon Activities:
The Horizon Court always has a variety of dishes to consider for lunch and a great selection of desserts. After lunch, more exploring the ship where we found a group of cruisers enjoying getting together with fellow guests in the Botticelli Dining Room, Deck 6 Aft to play games such as mahjong, cards and board games from mid-midmorning to 2:30pm. After that time, the dining room is being set up for the evening meal. The Botticelli is one of three dining rooms where evening meals are served with or without reservations.

Often during the cruise, there were opportunities to purchase art work from the Fine Art Galley, Deck 5 Forward. It was fun to just walk through the galley to see all the different types of art available.

Dinner and Entertainment:
The menu for our meal in the Da Vinci Dining Room had many interesting choices, but we decided on a Frosted Strawberry Smoothie for soup, Seared Sea Scallops and Chicken Parmesan for our main dishes and Cherries Jubilee and Princess Love Boat Dream for desserts. Another delicious meal! There were several places around the ship where entertainment was being provided, but we chose to go to the Piazza where live music was being performed by two sisters who were very talented.
