May 24, 2012 - at sea

We turned the clock forward last night one hour. Because of the change we didn't get up until after 8am. Tonight is a formal night and there is a cocktail party for Captain Circle members (passengers who have sailed on any Princess ship before) of which I would guess are about 90 percent of the passengers. It will be a normal sea day.

The weather is overcast and the seas are running a little higher which gives the ship a little roll. I would think it will stay that way until we get into the Mediterranean. The temperature may not get above the low 70s. We'll see if Hal's weather prediction is any better than the TV

In trivia we got 19 out of 20 and still came in second. Evelyn knew the 20th question which was "what is the all time best selling movie". Not box office. The answer is ET but she didn't have the courage of her conviction. Anyway we would have lost the tie breaker...

In the dinning room for lunch and there was a mix up and Myrna didn't get her meal until after the rest of us and then she wasn't happy with the sandwich. As we all say "It's only one meal".

We played bridge.

It seems I was wrong about the percentage of returning passengers, it is 89 percent, only about 75 passengers are first time with Princess. At the party they said that there are over 10 million Captain Circle members. They had a drawing at the party and we won a bottle of champaign. I had it sent to our table and we had it with dinner. On the sweet side but ok. Tonight was lobster night was we all enjoyed the meal.

Afterwards we listened to music in the Casino Lounge. We move the clock forward one hour again tonight. We are now back on GMT.
