It's good to be back on a Princess ship although it's the usual over-70s demographic. I always worry about the occasional child who's dragged aboard; how do they cope with the Nursing Home atmosphere? Anyway, we feel comfortable with people of our own age and they're always keen to chat. Everyone is here to enjoy themselves and there's no posing or point-scoring. Where we're sitting now, in the Crooners Bar, we're surrounded by laughter.
There have been a few changes since we were last on this ship. Happily, they've tidied up the buffet. More food is behind glass and there's always an attendant to serve you from the trays. The old cafeteria was a haven for germs and it's no wonder cruise ships had a reputation for being vomit factories.
We've been booked in for 7.45pm dinner but it's a bit late for us, especially if we then go to the late show at 9.45. Yesterday we had a snack at about 6, went to the 7.45 show and finished off with supper. We'll probably end up having our main meal at lunchtime, so we can get to bed at a reasonable hour.
At Trivia this morning we teamed up with a couple from Brisbane and a woman from Newcastle on her way to Brisbane to see the Rabbitohs play. She has a gang with her and they're also going to see a show with Anthony Warlow (maybe it's Annie). What a great way to go to a football match! By the way, we scored 17 out of 20 and came second. No doubt we'll do better next time.
This afternoon, were signing up to join the choir. We did this on the Diamond Princess once and it was terrific fun.
