Day 11: At Sea

This was an unexpected sea day which caused a few changes to our normal sea day routine. Due to the cancelling of our port visit, there was no Tai Chi or Zumba this morning, and two of our four bridge players did not show up this afternoon either.  But there are other things to do on the ship.  Mary and I relaxed, read books, and enjoyed a burger lunch at the grill.

For dinner in the dining room, we each had a chilled coconut soup, and spaghetti carbonara.  We were so pleased to have these favorite dishes that we forgot to take a picture, so you'll have to use your imagination.


This evening we went to two shows.  The first was David Meyers (left picture) who has a unique xylophone-type instrument, and calls his music xylopunk.
After that we went to the Crooners Lounge to hear guitarist Matheus de Camargo who played a variety of music that appealed to our age group. 
Overall a nice musical evening!

As to our cruise update, we heard from the Captain today that after picking up supplies in Montenegro on the 17th, we will sail to Buenos Aires and dock on the 18th, but will not be allowed off the ship on that day.  Argentina wants all people who enter their country to be at least 14 days since being in a known Coronavirus area.  As of midnight on the 18th,  everyone on our ship will meet that criteria so they will let us get off the ship  on the 19th and go to the airport.  That was a relief.  So we have our Princess bus transfers there, and our Delta flight home all booked.

Things are getting crazier and crazier everywhere you look. Hopefully you will have smooth sailing to Buenos Aires and no problems with your flights. Good luck and keep us posted!
