Tasmania Cruise - Sun Princess - Day 2 Monday 17 December - at sea

One of the things about an inside cabin is that there's no natural light to wake you up, so we had a nice sleep-in this morning.  Breakfast at the Horizon Court, which was really crowded.  Then we went for coffee, followed by a walk around the promenade deck - around it three times which is a one-mile walk.  Then we tried out the casino, followed by lunch, again at the Horizon Court.
During the day, I also organised a swap over of our mini-bar setup.  Because we've cruised quite a bit with Princess, we're at their "Elite" loyalty level, and one of the things this gets you is one free mini-bar setup - some little bottles of spirits, some plain water and Perrier water, some beer and some soft drink.  Sadly, pretty much none of this appeals to us.  Fortunately, they let you swap it out for other things, and prior to this we have swapped it out for a coffee card.  Trouble is, we already have four coffee cards, and Princess is changing the way their coffee cards work and part of this means that the cards we have will cease to be valid at the end of August next year.  We only have one more cruise before then, and we'll be flat out using the four cards we already have on those cruises, let alone getting more.  So, this time I've swapped it out for Diet Coke - so I can now confidently say that the elite mini-bar is worth 20 cans of Diet Coke!!
The high point for today was seeing my first "Travelling Film Festival at Sea" movie.  They're showing a selection of eight movies from the Sydney Film Festival - this is the fourth year they've done this on a Princess Cruise.  Today's movie was "Three Identical Strangers" - actually a documentary about triplets who were separated at birth by an adoption agency.  It was quite well done - interesting and also somewhat sad.
