Day 16: Sea Day

At long last we have a sea day and just lounge around all day. We have fairly high seas and wind all day and are hanging close to shore as we round the northern top of Scotland. Tonight is formal night in the dining room and we have dinner with Al and Melissa from the message board. Lobster and Beef Wellington on the menu makes for a tough choice! After dinner we go to the Captains cocktail party and meet Captain Nash who joined the ship yesterday while Captain Proctor takes a couple months off. He is quite amusing during his chat with everyone. For the first time all cruise we take in some of the evening entertainment. Tonight is the Newlywed, Not So Newlywed Game show and Harry and Diann are selected to participate. As usual, they provide entertaining answers to the questions while the other one is out of the room and then brought back in to try to match answer. Sam the Cruise Directors has a hard time asking the questions because she is laughing so hard at their answers. Of course they win! They get a nice prize bag with a bottle of Champagne, chocolates, and lots of other Princess logo items. We stay for the Jeopardy game and have a team of other cruise critic friends and lots of laughs. Bedtime now as we have an early day in port tomorrow to go looking for “Nessie”.
