Day Two

Danny had a brief photo-op moment with the ship's Captain.

Second full day at sea is a bit warmer, but we have not yet reached that 'tropics' feel we love so much. I suspect that will be tomorrow afternoon, and we'll start watching the western horizon for signs of islands during the lapss we take around the ship's Deck 7 hiking path.

Finding various couples to join in with Team Trivia, to share stories and lies. Funnest part of cruising.

There are questions and comments we have for some folks and this seemed a good opportunity to see who's watching and who's not watching.

Candy: Can you help us with your description of the ring you want? You said "princess crown". Were you speaking of something that looks like a monarch's crown or something that looks like the Princess Cruise Line LOGO?

Debra: Neither of us are necessarily good sources for your answer. We enjoy visiting Aruba, and we can recommend visiting Orangestad. We have considered flying down there some day to spend a week or so. The city is under heavy re-construction right now, though, and I have no idea how long the work will progress. They're working to accommodate the growing number of tourists. Their agriculture is weak now, and the economy has them in quite a pinch, so the construction is going slowly. We cannot comment on Antigua; seasoned as we are, we've never been there. Our only recommendation: TRY Aruba, AVOID Jamaica.

Roo & Fox: being domestic is really great, but it can be wearing. Could you consider a compromise? Like, go out to dine a couple times a month. Dining out is great cement for hen houses.

Matthew: I was surprised to be the only one who remembered, but I don't think they minded.
