Crown Princess Postcard #4 – Sea Day 1

Our cabin is very comfortable and the bed is amazing. A great night’s sleep and only hampered by the 3 motion sensor lights that come on that pretty much illuminate the whole cabin. There is one either side of the bed and another in the lobby outside the bathroom so if I get up to use the toilet all 3 come on. It really only needs the one outside the bathroom so I think a chat with our steward (Armando) is in order.

I was awake around 3:45 this morning so a little later than yesterday, hopefully now we are a little more settled it will only improve over the coming days. For our first breakfast onboard, we went back to the Botticelli Restaurant on the recommendation of the restaurant manager. While it was okay, I think it might be a case that we try the buffet tomorrow to compare. If we do, I think our timing will be important because when we walked around at 9:00 it was heaving.

We did some more ship exploration seeking out a few places we missed yesterday and then went back to the cabin to sit out on our balcony and enjoy the weather. We did intend to do some walking around the prom deck but the starboard side was coned off for a deep clean which prevented us from that.

Apart from lunch in our restaurant, and going to the Cruise Critic Meet & Mingle in Skywalkers Nightclub, I have spent the best part of the afternoon asleep. One notable occurrence was when the Captain came on the public address system late afternoon to inform us about a weather warning for tomorrow and that it could get very rough as we enter the aptly named Storm Bay at Hobart. Such is the severity of the weather forecast, our departure has been delayed by 4 hours so we can sit the worst of the storm out.

Not many photos today because I just haven’t taken any but hopefully tomorrow will be a different matter if the weather doesn’t hamper things.
