December 8 - More Days at Sea

I love Sea days!  There's so much to do or you can do nothing at all. 

Here are the passenger numbers for this segment of the cruise:

Blue- 659 (first time Princess cruisers)

Ruby- 270 (After completing 3 cruises or 30 cruise days)

Gold- 382 (Available from your fourth cruise or after 31 cruise days)

Platinum- 757 (after completing 5 cruises or 50 cruise days)

Elite- 962 (after completing 15 cruises or 150 cruise days)

For the Santiago to BA segment, there will be an additional 500+/- passengers. And 200+ of those will be kids sailing over Christmas break.

I don't recall if I explained that this is a 51 day cruise going from LA to Fort Lauderdale and can be broken into 3 segments. The first segment is from.LA to Santiago, Chile.  That is the one we are doing. The next segment is from Santiago to Buenos Aires and the final leg is from Buenos Aires to Fort Lauderdale. 

Find a Friend

With the Medallion app you can find out where your friends and family are. You can even get directions on how to get to where they are.

Buffet Photos

I took some photos of the buffet at.lunch today. I generally don't like buffets, but sometimes it's a necessary evil on a ship.

I didn't get all of the stations - but most of them.

Buffet food pictures leave a lot to be desired. Point is, there is enough variety for everyone. I didn't get any pictures of the Italian stations, the bread and bun station or a few others.

Needed IT Whizz

I cannot get into Teams on my laptop. It doesn't like the ships browser. I've tried using Toronto VPN and Global Protect. Doesn't work. I can get around it.on my phone using McAfee VPN, but I cand send out a Teams Video on the phone. Sigh!

So what's a girl to do? Go visit the closest bar and ask the bartender to make you his favorite drink.  

One Aperol Spritz!

Captains Circle Party

Today was the CCP. You know, you go meet the Captain and Officers, get free drinks and nibbles and hear the Captain speak.

The most traveled passengers had:

1638 sea days - second most traveled

Tommorow we are in port - Fuente Amador (Panama City).
