Our travel agent gave us a gift certificate for a Balcony Champagne Breakfast which we ordered for this morning. The outside temperatures are warmer now (over 70) so we could enjoy this on our balcony in the sunshine. I would have never ordered this on our own, but as a benefit, it was great!
It included:
- 1 bottle of champagne
- Two plates with smoked salmon
- Two plates containing two quiche and 2 strips of bacon
- One fruit plate
- One plate with 8 pastries
- Two carafes containing tea or coffee
Way too much food for two people, but it was delicious, and we felt very decadent enjoying it... although we are saving the pastries for a mid morning snack.
At lunch today, Princess held their Pastry Extravaganza. It was not as elegant as we gave seen on larger ships, but still very nice. It featured many special cakes (the coconut one was very tasty) and a chocolate fountain. Two of the cakes are pictured above.
In the afternoon I tried my hand at golf putting. You had 3 attempts to hit a paper cup. I was one of the few that hit it once, but one guy hit it twice and won. In the afternoon we did pass close to Uruguay (we were originally schedule to stop at Montevideo) on our way to pick up a pilot. Mary captured this picture showing construction in the city of Maldonado.
Tonight we had an enjoyable supper, ordering food from the Grill so we could eat while watching the Downton Movie on the big outdoor screen. It was great getting to watch it again. Both Mary and I picked up on some details we missed in our first viewing.
Cruise Update: All passengers and crew passed the "temperature test" today! That brought a loud cheer from everyone when it was announced. Thing are looking good for our being able to disembark on Thursday in Buenos Aires. The plan is we dock tomorrow, but cannot disembark until the 19th.

Wow, what a nice travel agent! Breakfast looks very nice there on your sunny balcony!
We haven’t seen any sun here in Kansas for several days which makes it very gloomy....as if we need more gloomy right now! 😒
How great that all passengers are temperature free!
Hope all goes well on the 19th. Safe travels!

Great news on the temperature test -- I think that bodes well for being able to get home! Your breakfast looks wonderful; my sister and her husband did that in Glacier Bay and loved it. What a perfect evening, watching Downton on the big screen. Glad you are making some good memories in spite of the uncertainty!
