Woke up about 9am, and that was after having moved the clock back an hour. I'm certainly going to need the alarm to wake me up in order to be kicked off the ship on Sunday morning! The captain warned us yesterday that we'd be experiencing gale force winds and that the seas wouldn't be smooth, and he was correct, both for last night and during the day today.
I decide to have a splurge today and I ended up having a massage. I've been feeling a bit stressed about getting back to work and the fact that we have ***so*** much work to get done between January and June, and it was really showing in the muscles around my shoulders. The massage was exactly what I needed. The lovely young lady who did the massage said that I should get one done at least once a month, particularly around my neck and shoulders, and I think she's probably right!
Princess offer a couple of different drinks packages, and I used this trip to try to work out if any of them would be good for our Mediterranean cruise later this year. I know I could never do justice to the alcoholic drinks package, but I thought that for this small trip I'd try their "Ultimate Soda and More" package, which is basically soft drinks, hot chocolate and any of their non-alcoholic 'Mocktails'. I have concluded that even that package probably isn't worth the price for me; it doesn't include coffee (which I knew) but it also doesn't include canned soft drinks (which I didn't know until today).
Dinner tonight included the wonderful "Twice Baked Goat's Cheese Souffle" which I first came across on our cruise a couple of months ago. It was absolutely delicious, as was the main course which was basically sea scallops in a really nice citrus sauce. And sadly I can't walk around the Promenade deck to work some of it off, the seas are too rough and you're not allowed out there.
