New Zealand Cruise - Majestic Princess - Day 2 Thursday 7 February - at sea

Last night we had to set the clocks forward an hour, but we still managed to wake up in time for breakfast.  We had both breakfast and lunch at the "World Fresh Marketplace" - aka "the buffet upstairs".  Both meals were quite good; nice range of different sorts of food.
Quiet day today as usual on sea days - the biggest decision we made was to sit out on the balcony and read for a while. We did happen to be walking near the Piazza (the big atrium area mid-ships) when the ship was being blessed as part of a Chinese New Year celebration so we stayed to watch.  The dancers were all from the Canberra Dragon Dance group!
The clocks go forward another hour tonight; I never have any idea what time it is once this starts to happen on a cruise because my Kindle, iPad, iPhone and Surface all seem to react differently to attempts to lie to them about the time! Perhaps I should have bought a non-digital watch with me :-)
