 We woke up on this sea day morning with a lot of sea birds (0:29) following us. I'm not sure what that meant, if anything. (We weren't especially close to land.) |
 At 8:45, Mei-O went down to the Vista Lounge to participate in a 45 minute rather crowded Zumba class. |
 With Mei-O exercising in her 45-minute Zumba class, I just walked around the ship and took a bunch of random pictures; Maintenance was always going on all over the ship, classes and lectures were advertised trying to increase attendance, bars were empty, just waiting for guests to begin piling in a little later (it was still only about 9:00), people waiting in the Princess Live! lounge for the daily "Wake Show" to beginnote ended. The "Wake Show" was a daily TV show hosted by our Cruise Director, Dan, with infor- mation about various events go- ing on on the ship that day, in- terviews with crew members and staff, and all sorts of general information relevant to today on the ship. I didn't know what time it was produced live. |
 Mei-O and I went out on the pool deck to watch "The Lion King" (the new live version) for a while, then realizing we hadn't had breakfast yet, headed to... |
 ...the buffet for something to eat. Baked beans were served every morning at breakfast, and we found out that they're a fairly common British breakfast itemnote a very common breakfast item in Britain. They are a staple of the traditional full English breakfast, often served on toast alongside eggs, bacon, and sausage. They are also frequently enjoyed on their own with toast, or as a side dish with other breakfast items. |
 We had two more ports left, Ålesund and Haugesund, and at 11:00, we went to hear about them. We weren't looking for any specific information; we basically just wanted to pass some time. But we did get some interesting (though not very useful) information about both ports from the presentation. |
 A little before 1:00, we made our way down to the Piazza for another dance class that Mei-O wanted to attend. The International Cafe, just off the Piazza, was another source of free food for us, and we hadn't tried it yet. We were just going to take a look to see what kinds of offerings they had, and Mei-O decided we should try this, tuna salad on a croissant roll, and it was really good. We put it in our mind that we should try this place more often! |
 And at 1:00, the dance class (0:27) began. In the video, Mei-O's over on the left in a pink shirt and black pants and Teresa is right next to her in a blue shirt with gray pants. These dance classes are always this crowded. Next Top |
