Sea Day #1…Heading to Valparaiso, Chile

We decided to enjoy a lazy day at sea and so we ate a late breakfast and played cards with Bill and Stella until the early afternoon.  We attended a lecture titled “Art 101:  Insider Secrets to Art Collecting” and plan to attend the final art auction of this segment of the cruise tomorrow.  Bill has purchased some very expensive art pieces on this trip and may try to negotiate a good price for one we have been admiring.

We then played cards again with our Ohio friends from Dayton.  They like to play euchre and also taught us a new card game that takes some serious thinking. 

Since we had not dined in our assigned dining room for a couple of nights, we decided to join our regular tablemates and eat more formally tonight.  The food has not been fantastic in the dining room and we enjoy the selections at the Horizon Court Buffet much more.

Jade Millan and Sam entertained us in the Princess Theater tonight.  Jade spotlighted the life of Whitney Houston and her performance of Whitney’s songs was amazing!  We feel she is one of the best acts we have seen thus far on this cruise.  Her husband, Sam, accompanied her on the piano.  The Princess Orchestra also was included and the performance was stellar!
