March 7 - Princess Cays

Today was our day at Princess Cays, Princess’ private beach on Eleuthera Island. The ship anchored early and began tendering people for a day of fun in the sun. I’m not a sand or beach lover so I stayed on the ship. Katie went ashore and spent the better part of the day snorkeling. Despite the large number of people there she saw a surprising variety of fish and enjoyed the day. It helped that some of her fellow passengers were throwing bread in the water which attracted lots of fish.


I spent the day on a treadmill and then lounging in the semi-shade of the Sanctuary reading, watching the clouds pass and the tenders doing their thing. It was very quiet and relaxing since most people had gone to the beach. Despite the fact that the forecast called for showers we had a glorious day with brilliant blue skies and big puffy clouds. It was also as calm as I’ve ever seen it with hardly a ripple in the water. We raised the anchors at 4PM and we’re headed to St. Maarten.


This evening we met our friends for a drink before dinner and then enjoyed Italian night in the dining room. The headwaiter Godwin, who we have met on previous cruises, has been taking excellent care of us. We have a great table next to a window with a good team of waiters.


After dinner Katie and I went up to Adagio and listened to the pianist (who was excellent!) and had some Sambucca. It’s not really my cup of tea so she finished my glass. Then it was off to bed after a nice, relaxing day.
