Another sleep-in and another delicious breakfast (omelette - ham and cheese - for Sue and pancakes for Mike) followed by a very fast 25 minute walk around the outside of deck 7. There were many people outside walking along with us which was a bit surprising, but nice to see.
Our first entertainment of the day was listening to a lecture by John Maxtone-Graham about the night the Titanic sank. He is a maritime historian/writer and he spoke about his interviews with various Titanic survivors as well as telling us some stories about people who had been on the boat, but had not survived. He was an incredibly interesting storyteller and we can’t wait to hear more of his adventures.
Next, we headed over to the Piazza to see Noel and Victoria dance. They are a couple from Florida who do Ballroom dancing - and they are really good at what they do. They only did two dances, though, which was a bit disappointing. We stayed around and watched a preview of tonight’s show “Cinematastic” which was a typical singing and dancing revue.
After a quick lunch at the Horizon buffet, we headed off to the Vista Lounge where Sue took part in a line dancing class. Mike took photos - tomorrow he will join Sue in the class. :-) The fellow who led the class is from South Africa and has a good sense of humour as well as knowing how to line dance very well. Sue had a great time learning three dances and got quite the workout.
Next was another presentation - this time about Sailing Europe with Princess. We learned about the various cruises which will be available on Princess next year. We could have learned it all on the net - good to know for the future.
It was now 3:30pm and so, of course, it was time for another nap - ahhh. Tonight was a formal night, so after dressing up in our fancy duds, we headed off to dinner. Again, the chefs did not disappoint - Cornish hen for Sue and Roast Pork for Mike). We had a nice group of table mates (mostly) - two couples from the Sunshine Coast who were travelling together and one couple (very hoity toity from England).
Tonight’s show was called “Cinematastic” - the singing and dancing revue. The singers and dancers are quite good and we did enjoy the show. We were going to go to ‘Movies under the Stars’ again (Hotel for Dogs), but we decided to come down to our cabin and get caught up on our comings and goings thus far since beginning on this amazing journey.
