"Planned" for a quiet day today - actually by not planning anything. We headed off to the buffet for (late) breakfast - it was crowded but not overwhelmingly so. Then we found the most important place on board - the place where they sell the good coffee! Then we checked out the Casino to make sure we'll be able to lose the correct amount of money - that definitely won't be a problem :-)
By the time we did this and lazed around a bit it was lunch time, so back to the buffet.
During the afternoon we finally had the first rain that we've really seen since we left home; although they had forecast storms for every day in Singapore, none of them came near us :-)
I got some unfortunate news today - I was booked tomorrow on the "All Access Ship's Tour" where they take you around and show you lots of behind the scenes stuff. I've done it on a Princess ship - and it was really interesting - but not on any Royal Caribbean one. However, they notified me today that for "Health and Safety reasons" they can't hold the tour tomorrow. They haven't refunded my money yet because they do hope to run the tour later on the cruise.
Dinner tonight was at our proper fixed seating table. I'm not sure if the couple who were seated with us tonight (Denise and Bob) will stay at our table; they're very keen to join family who are at another table. The maitre de wouldn't change them over tonight, even though the table their family is at is an eight seater with a number of unused seats. Anyway, for a co-incidence, Denise and Bob are going to do their first Princess cruise next year, and it turns out that it's the same one we're going on - the Majestic Princess to New Zealand.
After dinner we went to a show called Pixels. We knew it was very popular, and we really enjoyed it although it's a bit hard to describe what it's about - lets just say a combination of people doing music, dance and acrobatics in conjunction with video and sort-of-dance being done by robots.
Finished off the night by losing some money in the casino - always fun :-)
