Tuesday 16 October - day 56 - Coral Princess Panama Canal Cruise Day 2


Another sea day today and really, not a lot to say.
Paul is a bit off colour today, so he basically rested all morning.  I chased up a few things - even though the man at Passenger Services yesterday said he couldn't really help me with the missing onboard credit, and sent me off to see someone else, it was actually added to our accounts this morning (even though I hadn't managed to track down the 'someone else').
I also bought a copy of our embarkation photo (unlike Royal Caribbean, Princess doesn't have any special deals for buying multiple photos - they're all $20.00 each, or more for larger prints).
Later I went to the Casino, put $20 into the machine and walked away with about $85 on my account (you don't need to use cash in their poker machines; they have it set up so you can run a 'bank' attached to your cruise card).  I also did a load of washing - we didn't really need to do it yet, but we did have almost a full load, and the machines aren't being used much yet - later in the cruise a lot more people will be trying to use it.
I had a burger and fries for lunch.  Paul felt a bit better by lunch-time and when I told him about my winnings, he decided that we needed to go back to the Casino.  He lost $30 in the end - but it took a couple of hours to do so.  On the other hand, I now have just over $99 on my cruise card  :-)
