Off the ship around 7:45a. Roxie got a limo and we went to Marlin’s stadium for a tour; however, they cancelled the tours today. She was not a happy camper and will be communicating with the person she spoke to who told her they had tours from Thursday – Friday, 10-2. The limo driver gave us a nice tour of Miami’s South Beach and we took a lot of pictures of how the rich & famous live. Now we’re at the Ramada where Roxie is spending the night and I hope I can get a shuttle to the airport about 3pm. Southwest lost one of my bags – they sent it to Manchester NH instead of Tampa FL. MHT sent to Baltimore, then Tampa and I received Sunday afternoon.... read more

Full body massage in the morning and then played a little Rummikub. Took in the daily movie – “War Horse.” Awesome movie – just remember no horses were injured or abused in the filming process. Last formal night and off to dinner of lobster and prawns. Started watching Shindler’s List on Roxie’s PC, but after such an exhausting day we couldn’t finish it all. Hopefully, we’ll finish it tomorrow night.... read more

Up early for an 8 am stone massage. Awesome!! Then played “golf” and wizard card games until it was time to get ready for the Captain Party’s at 5p. Barb & Gary went to the afternoon movie – “The Odd Life of Timothy Green.” Off to dinner where several of us had prime rib, one had NC BBQ and others seafood. Barb, Gary and I went to the evening performance by Seonaid Aitken from Scotland. She played an incredible violin, the piano and sang. Her degree is in classical music and symphony. She performed an hour’s worth of songs from Ireland, Scotland, Canada and some jazz. Even played on the violin a song she composed called “The Mad Piper,” which featured of the orchestra members. One of the best shows I’ve seen on Princess. Then off ... read more

Up early for an 8:00 am seaweed wrap & massage - 2 hours of heaven. Then up to breakfast and started playing “golf” for most of the day. Veteran’s Day celebration and memorial on board today – 2 minutes of silence, wreath in piazza and memorial service this afternoon. Drinks before dinner with Barb & Gary and dinner with the gang. Watched 2 World Champion Ballroom Dancers do 2 dances. Nothing else going on and time goes back again tonight. Let’s see what tomorrow has in store for us – Captain said we could have high winds and rough sea.... read more

Went to breakfast and then met the gang and went shore. Four of us (Roxie, Pat, Kenny and I) hired a taxi to take us to the crater lakes. Absolutely beautiful island. Everything is sooo green and in multi-shades of green. Cows in the pasture. The island is the top of an undersea volcano and we went to the top and saw water all around us going up and down the mountains. First warm, sunny day we have had – probably in the 60’s. Lots of beautiful hydranian’s. Then I went back to the ship and caught up on my blog entries, which you got hit with yesterday and checked my 400 emails, much of it spam. It was Italian night at dinner so we all ate very well. After dinner Roxie, Barb, Gary & I ... read more
