After dinner

After a delicious feast in Sabatini's it was time for a stroll on deck to take the night air (we put it back later) and stare out into the darkness as the ship sailed along. We had bypassed the "welcome aboard show" in the Princess Theater which is an introduction to the Cruise Staff who take care of entertainment and events as well as some of the featured acts for the week ahead-singers, jugglers, mind readers, illusionists, comedians and such. The Cruise Director runs the show and introduces himself-Billy Highgate by name.

One of the events on tonight's calendar was karaoke in the Club Fusion lounge and we like to go along and listen. Passengers with good bad and ugly voices get up and entertain their fellows for fun.
The audience is kind and supportive. The singers vie to qualify for Princess Pop Star-a contest to be held on the last evening. Good clean fun while enjoying a drink.

Club Fusion

There was a boisterous family group of 16 who were there to party and dance. One of them-Erin- had a very good voice and instantly became our pick for Pop Stardom.

Eventually it is time to go home. No waiting for the valet to bring the car, no fear of DUI and a Police record, no umbrellas needed-we just left the club and got in an elevator and rode it up 3 floors to our cabin.

The bed was turned down, the extra pillows Carol had chosen from the pillow menu were in place.

A last beer of the day was enjoyed on the balcony with the sound of the wake in our ears and some chocolate-covered strawberries in our stomachs.

Sleep......
