Vacation Day #5 (Monday 3/20/06)

We spent much of our 2nd day at sea like we did our 1st day - eating, resting, enjoying the ship and swimming. The kids enjoyed 3 hours (9 AM until noon) at the Kids' Camp and just loved it. While they were there, T and I did some shopping onboard and sat at the Lobby Bar for our lattes and mochas. We saw our first (and only, unfortunately) show in the Princess Theater - Pianoman - at 5:15 PM. We all enjoyed it - especially our 5 year old daughter who was in heaven with the lights, music and costumed dancers. We had our 2nd dinner in the Coral dining room and made the mistake of not asking for Olsen (our waiter from Sunday night). Delmonico from Italy was our waiter and service was just horrible. We couldn't wait to finish and get out of there. When back in the cabin, we set our things out for the following morning (our first port!), set the alarm and were again in bed before 9 PM - sleeping soundly but for some rowdiness in the hallway at about midnight.
