May 27, 2012 - at sea

This is our last week on the ship, we disembark in Dover, England, next Sunday.

We slept in and it was nice. The seas are running pretty high, but the skies are clear and it sunny and cooler then then we have been experiencing. Today there is a Sunday brunch which the whole trivia team will go to after morning trivia. We are now waiting for our bridge lesson, we will play bridge this afternoon for the last time on this cruise. We have three ports in a row: Casablanca, Cadiz (Spain), and Lisbon (Portugal). Then we have two sea days and then Le Havre, France, where we have a tour in the afternoon to Rouen. The next day we dock in Dover. We need the last sea day to pack and I would like one day to just relax and do nothing.

This is the second Sunday that there has been "Brunch" in the main dinning room. The first was on Mothers Day. This must be fairly new because they did not offer this last year when we were on the same ship. It is quite an extravaganza. When you consider all the meals until know it takes a pretty extravagant spread to impress us. They aren't doing this on other Princess ship's as far as w know.

We are spending three nights in London during the Queen's 60th Jubilee. It is a three day bank holiday for the UK.


After bridge we attended the Cruise Critic party and then at 6pm we invited our new friends Frank and Lila to share our plate of canapé at the suite party. We then had dinner in the Bistro. I had a calzone which was large enough to feed two people at least.

We missed the show so Evelyn and I then sat in the Casino Lounge and listen to music of Sammy Goldstein doing Broadway show tunes.
