Diamond Princess Day 2: 13 Feb 2023 First Day at Sea

The ship is rocking and rolling on the Pacific today! 

I was awake early and headed down to the coffee bar. The free coffee on Princess is very good!

I considered Pilates at 7am but didn't make it. 

I checked out the self laundry facilities.

Then I headed to the dining room to see the menu.

they had me at Maine Blueberry Pancakes. Unfortunately, they were super slow.

i checked out the Tai Chi group.

I went to the Zumba class but it was cancelled. I had really been on the fence about the pilates class on the $99 unlimited excercise class plan- Today, they told me it was $199. That settled it for me, no way.

I went to the Princess welcome party for new guests and won $100 onboard credit.

I stopped in at the shop to see what was for sale. They even have underwear and socks.

i warched the Waltz ballroom dance class until my stomach told me it was fime.to eat lumch.

After lunch I changed to prepare for Cruise Critic Mset and Greet. This one was a little less formal because it was not sanctioned by Princess but it was great to meet a bunch of cruisers and we all talked and talked. A friend of mine had met someone in las vegas on her way to the same cruise. Sure enough she ran into me at the meet and greet! Talk about six degrees of Kevin Bacon or whatever they say these days.

I took a quick nap and it was time for dinner.

Seafood Antipasto, spaghetti and meatballs, shrimp and scallops, and a sundae.

I missed the Ukulele lesson today so I spent the evening thinking about my last cruise across the pacific right before the world shut down in December of 2020. I am really looking forward to the lesson tomorrow. 

Happy Cruising!
