After yesterday it was great to be able to kick back and enjoy the first of three sea days until we reach Cairns. With just over a week to go now the end is getting ever closer with just 2 more ports until we disembark in Sydney. The ship has remained very quiet today with the open decks almost completely deserted. If this was somewhere in the Mediterranean or Caribbean the outside decks would be packed and a sunbed difficult to get.
Now a grumble, as part of the Princess Plus Package you get two included meals at no cost in the ship’s casual restaurants, on Princess these include Vines, Salty Dog Pub, O’Malleys, Ocean Terrace, Planks, Steamers, Alfredo’s, and GiGi’s. Now on Crown Princess all we have is Vines Wine Bar (I’m not sure it’s applicable) and The Salty Dog Gastropub which is inside The Wheelhouse Bar. The gastro pub has on their menu a Beyond Burger which is vegan so we thought that’s great, we will use our included meals one lunchtime on one of the sea days. A good idea in principle if it was open at lunchtime. It turns out that the opening hours are from 5:30 – 9:30 so the only way we can give it a go is to let gluttony lead us astray and have both a meal there and in the MDR or forfeit the latter. It’s not an extensive enough menu to become an evening meal but it would make a great pub lunch. Come on Princess, engage the brain and open on a sea day for lunch.
Not much else has happened today so this is going to be one of the shortest posts of the cruise.

Is this Victor Meldrew surfacing in Australia? 🤪
I’ve got a long way to go to be anywhere near a certain person who shall remain unnamed 😉
