Sunday, October 20, 2013, At Sea between Madeira, Portugal and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida





This was the first of six days at sea before arriving at Ft. Lauderdale at 6 AM next Sunday.
We have to set our clocks back several times during the trans Atlantic portion of the cruise.
We slept in late and had our coffee, melon bowl and bran muffin in our room.  We didn't get out and around until afternoon.  The weather was better than had earlier been announced.  There were rollers but not many whitecaps, and only an occasional lurch.
Gerri went to the onboard outlet sale.  She came back empty handed.  We then went to a presentation on repositioning cruisers presented by the Future Cruise Director.  It was interesting but didn't really cover our questions about the advantages of repositioning cruises. 
Gerri went to the art auction at 2 PM, I dodged the bullet again, no purchases.  At 3 PM I met up with Gerri in the Princess Live Theater to watch the filming of tomorrow's Wake Show.
We had lunch at Alfredo's.  Last night Gerri had tried anchovies on her Caesar salad.  Today she tried anchovies on her pizza.  After that we went on deck 16 and sat near the pool while I had an ice cream cone from Swirls.  The weather wasn't conducive to hanging around the pool for very long.
Back at our room Gerri was able to sit out on our balcony and enjoy the sun for an hour.  We also rested and watched the first of a Three Stooges movie before heading to dinner at our usual time.  Gerri had Asian Duck and I had calamari steak.  The dessert menu included a soufflĂ©, so I didn't have to look any further.  I can only remember having soufflĂ© one time that wasn't on a cruise.  That was after our first cruise.  Morgan Harris made them at a party at Dale Askew's house in Las Vegas.  That was a party with other members of the board of directors of the Clark County Credit Union.
There was no live entertainment that interested us after dinner.  We went back to our room and watched the rest of the Three Stooges movie and then another movie called Robot and Frank.
Tomorrow is another sea day.
