Unfortunately, a grey sky is our company while sailing through the Great Barrier of Reef. The Princess Patter keeps us busy running from lectures to bingo, art auctions to ice carving or "Maitre de" wine testing, arts and crafts projects to knitters, natters and crochet get-together or bowls, bridge, mahjong, backgammon and shuffleboard players. My highlights have been a score of 19/20 at the Morning Quizz (Thank you Kerry!) and an Afternoon Tea Dance at the Vista Lounge. Afternoon Tea and ballroom dancing together, fantastic! I am afraid the sea days and my high scones consumption might have a negative influence on my waist! I did hit the gym for the first time and went back stretching on the outdoor deck of the Sanctuary in the morning.
We had our second Formal night, with more photo-shoot sessions (!)
This morning I treated myself with a second 90 minutes hot stone massage. Christine you have magic hands! I noticed an amazing success for the Balcony Grill fish lunch and the pies' buffet. I personally enjoy the kebabs much more, seated today at the pool, watching on the giant outdoor screen a Charlie Chaplin movie I had never seen: "Gold Rush", never too late in life!
For my French readers and movie fans, I watched as well "Le prophet" last night, "Repo Men" and "The Princess and the Frog". And yes, I am wearing "princess" evening gowns on a Princess ship sailing to Port Douglas where I have kissed my first frog in 2003 for a toad race at the Iron Bar!

I was pleased to finally win at the morning TV Wake Show with my answer Steamboat Willie about Mickey Mouse!! Even if my drawing of the modern logo representing Mickey at Disneyland was judged incomplete. (I can see my family smiling from here!!!) I had some Princess Cruise playing cards delivered to my cabin as winning prize. I received more mail with as well, an invitation to join the Ultimate Ship Tour behind-the-scene experience next week. How exciting!
One member of our team will unfortunately leave us tomorrow morning and we will all meet with our "Table 51" shirts tonight in her honour.

After a Disco under the Stars last night on top decks, we will enjoy tonight "Outback in the Vista" a country hoe down dance party for a toe tapping, thigh slapping good time! Let's see if I can remember my line dancing classes!
