A Day @ Sea

Today was a lazy day for us.  A down day with not much activity other than eating three meals today.  I grabbed my camera and spent the day exploring the ship.  There were numerous activities that took place at various hours.  This is the only time the ship feels somewhat crowded…an at sea day. 

Early in the morning we walked around the upper decks where the pools are.  Here, mid-ship, is one of four pools on the ship.  Also located here is MUTS (Movies Under the Stars):

Here’s the second of four pools, you can see the MUTS at the top of this picture:

Here’s the smallest of the four pools (top of the picture) and a very large jacuzzi spa with the Princess logo at the bottom.  This is located at the aft or back of the ship:

Here’s the fourth pool located at the Sanctuary, forward or front of the ship:

There were plenty of “chair hogs” between the two larger pools.  These are folks who put their personal items on the lounges (to save them) and then roam about the ship until they’re ready to lounge: 

Here’s hubby taking a few shots at the basketball court.  Notice the netting that surrounds the court.  It is extremely windy up here.  I think we were near Deck 17:

This is almost close to being on top of the ship:

There were many times we’d get turned around and wonder what side of the ship our cabin was on.  The carpeting in the hallways are colored, red for port side (left):

And blue for starboard side (right): 

Within the first few hours of being onboard, we headed here to the Internet Café to sign up for one of several internet packages.  Since we are Platinum members, we get 280 minutes free (250 mins + 30 free mins) per person:

We haven’t been back to this Café as we’re using my netbook and the ship’s wifi to access the internet from our cabin.  Really, really convenient for us. 

Nearby, is the International Café where these goodies kept staring me in the face…every time I walk by.  This is where I get my fresh peanut butter cookies in the afternoon:

I did catch some bartenders in action in the Piazza:

Tomorrow, we’ll be arriving into St. Thomas around 8am.  We have an all day snorkel and lunch excursion planned and hope to get in some window shopping. 

That’s all for now!
