Pacific Pearl - Sea day

Ordering our Egg & Bacon rolls for the Grill

We had a great day today. Some eating (as you do), some walking, some reading, playing a spot of deck quoits, cocktails with the Captain - this was the first time we have been invited! Very exciting but 'what do we wear!'. After the Captain's Cocktails we headed to our usual spot at The Orient for drinkies and Danny Black - he has to be the best singer we have seen on a cruise. Sooo entertaining!

Eating my freshly made egg & bacon roll

It was a bit windy up on the lido so we decided to check out what was happening in the atrium. In the Pacific Daily there was a Spa Treatment demo happen as well as the usual bargain shopping. Mum had a lovely neck massage and wasn't even pressured into buying any face products or booking in for a longer massage.

Shopping & Spa Treatments in the Atrium, Deck 5

Now mum was all rested and relaxed from her massage I told her we need some fresh air and exercise so up the stairs to deck 14 for a few laps

Deck 14

and maybe a sit down

Deck 14 - great deck chairs to watch the big screen from or read a book

and then a spot of lunch

The Plantation Buffet

After lunch we were doing a few more laps around deck 14 when they started to set up quoits. I think they must have been desperate for players as they asked us. Obviously they didn't know how unsporty I was!

Deck Quoits

Although, I made it through to the semi finals. Tells you how great the others must have been. I even beat mum!

Semi finalist at Deck Quoits! So close to winning a cooler, ha ha

I crashed and burned in the semis, too much pressure I think. The prize was a drink cooler you know - a very sort after prize.

Drinkies after our Cocktails with the Captain!

The captain had seen us around the ship obviously as we were invited to his cocktail party later in the evening! ha ha I think it was just because we had filled out a form earlier in the cruise asking us if we would like to go to the Captains cocktail party as we had previously cruised with P&O. We weren't the only ones, I think the word 'free' cocktails gets the crowds in more than the captain. Sorry captain. After the captain did a little speech her handed over to the CD (cruise director) to announce the winners of the most cruises awards, we have a long way to go!

After dinner we went to a show in the Marque Show Lounge and then caught up with the Bombe Alaska Parade as we were leaving. We were actually headed to our cabin but ended up enjoying a bit of the celebrations in the Atrium with the Champagne Fountain and balloon drop. See we can party with the best of them sometimes!

The Champagne Fountain - I don't know how it doesn't fall!

Mum partying!
