The first few days into our B2B cruise, I could get the strong WiFi signal but no login screen. I figured out the trick and it's been working like a charm!
We are in Belize today. The weather is so clear that we can see Belize City in the distance (4 miles away). That's how far we are anchored along with the Carnival Glory and NCL Norwegian Jewel ships.
Belize is an unusual tender port. Many of the cruise lines have to use the Belize taxi tenders to come ashore. One, the ship's small tender boats are not powerful and would take a long time to get from ship to shore. Two, the Belize taxi tenders are much more bigger and powerful. They can carry a large amount of cruisers to their port in a short amount of time.
Hubby and I decided not to tender into Belize today. Our daily Princess Patter forecasted a partly cloudy day with showers. Boy, were they wrong! It was a beautiful sunny day to be on the ship. We decided to go work out in the gym while other fellow cruisers where lining up on deck 3 to take the Belize taxi tenders to the port. We practically had the gym to ourselves.
Back in our cabin, we freshened up and went to the dining room for breakfast. Our first time in years. We were curious. After spending 1-1/2 hours in the dining room, we decided that wasn't our cup of tea. The breakfast buffet is more our speed and the selection is better than in the dining room. I can get my oatmeal, fried egg, smoked salmon and capers, and pineapple and be done in 20 minutes.
Since we were one of the few on the ship, we decided to check out one of the many pools. This was the first time we've used a pool onboard since we've been cruising with Princess. There's a first time for everything. The pools onboard Princess are filled with freshwater. Many of the other cruise lines use saltwater in their pools. We ended up at the Calypso pool which is also where the Movies Under the Stars (MUTS) is located. There were a handful of fellow cruisers lounging nearby. The pool water was cold! Hubby and I sat at the edge for awhile and then took the plunge. It was bone-chilling cold! We did a few quick laps and then headed to the hot tub nearby. We watched and listened to the Barry Manilow concert on MUTS. The sun was intense up on the Lido deck. Between the hot tub and the sun, I was sure I was hot flashing.
We enjoyed our quiet time on the ship. It was one of those days that should not be spent inside. So, we spent a lovely afternoon out on our balcony:
