Day 2-At Sea

On Sunday we spent the day on board the Saphire Princess. It was quiet day, but somewhat crowded on board since everyone was looking for something to do. There are about 2600 passengers aboard. A fully booked ship.

During the day we acquainted ourselves with the ship and all tha it offers. It is an amazing operation, a floating hotel and muh more.

Dinner was an early one and informal since we chose to skip the formal dress dinner plans for the evening. Everyone was pretty tired from the travel and Day 1 activities.
In the evening we went to the show in the Princess Theatre, called 'Piano Man'. A collection of song and dance numbers from the hits of Liberace, Barry Manlow, Billy Joel, Neil Sedaka and Elton John. Four strong singers and a very capable dance troup provided a non-stop 60 minute performance. It was a fantastic show. We all enjoyed it very much.

On top of everything else, we had to turn our clocks back one hour to get on Alaska time. We are now 4 hours behind Florida time. Easy to get up, but a little hard to party at night.
