Peaceful Day At Sea

Today we are spending a quiet day at sea, getting use to the rhythm of
the ship. When we got up this morning Mary spotted some land off the
starboard (right) side of the ship that our balcony faces. It turn
out we are skirting the northern edge of Cuba! Right now we are just
off Cape Lucrecia and are approaching the city of Moa. Amazing.
Everyone seems to be having a good time. We took a walk around the
deck this morning and I played a travel trivia game while Mary and
Katie went to the shopping talk. After lunch, Katie is doing some
studying this afternoon, Mary is reading in the sun, and I went to
Cards and Games with Andy and Melissa. We tried to play Clue, but
some of the cards were missing so we then played Trivial Pursuit along
with another couple.
Tonight is a formal night so we are dressing up fancy for dinner and
eating in the main dining room. Mary and I are planning to go to one
of the big production shows in the Princess Theater at 8:30 after
dinner.
As with other cruises, I put down a future cruise deposit today so we
can reserve and hold a future cruise for this very small deposit.
That's what's happening today. Ocho Rios, Jamaica, is tomorrow - our
first port of call when Katie and I have signed up for a zip line
excursion! Should be fun!
