Dawn Princess - Wednesday 27 January, Sea Day 4

We're starting our way back to Sydney now with 2 days at sea before docking back at White Bay. Time to reflect on our last week and all of the stops we had and time to enjoy and make the most of our balcony. (which we've done all throughout our cruise)

Enjoying our balcony!

 During the cruise some of the passengers formed the Pop Princess Choir, Deb was one of the singers, and today was their BIG day. 3pm in the Atrium. There were about 25 of them and sang about 6 songs from The Sound of Music. Wonderful! You could see some were very nervous and some who had obviously done this before (or something similar). I think Deb was very chuffed with herself and so she should be!

Deb is in the grey top, centre right.

 

It's formal night tonight and we also received an invitation to the Captain's Cocktail Party - what on earth am I going to wear???

Me and mum (selfie with her camera!)

The Captain's Cocktail party was held in the Vista Lounge. They awarded the top three cruisers with a bottle of champagne. The most days was over 750! We've got a lot more cruising to do to get to that number but I'm up for it! We had a glass of wine and some nibblies and then headed to dinner. One of the other couples at our dinner table, Deb and Dave, were also there. They were telling us that this cruise was the shortest one they've done so far. It's a 13 nighter. It's my longest, mum's done a 16 nighter on the Jewel from Singapore to Brisbane.

So many people really go all out with formal nights, so nice to see. I don't own any 'formal' gowns but still like to get a bit joozed up. Don't guys look extra handsome in suits and tuxes??

After dinner we went to the evening show in the Princess Lounge and sat with our dinner mates (minus Helen and Tony). It was a great show - English Invasion, although mum thinks Cliff Richards should have been included as did the others. I didn't mind. Half the time I didn't know who the original singers where but the Princess Entertainment Team did a wonderful job.
