When the captain came on the speaker about 6:00 PM, we
knew what
was coming. We were not surprised but disappointed that
we cannot
stop at the Falklands. Seas are too choppy and wind is too
high for
tendering. I don’t know and it’s a moot point, but if we
could have
docked we might have been able to stop. Anyone who has
ever
taken a tender from a ship knows that even in good sea
conditions
the tenders move around a bit. In rough conditions they
are just too
dangerous. I am always pleased to know that Princess
always puts
passenger safety first.
This is a day when I wish we had an outside cabin on
Plaza deck. Not a
balcony-too cold, too windy, too high (can’t see the
waves nearly
as well). View from balcony is not nearly as good as view
from window
on lower deck.
So we are now on an unscheduled sea day rocking and
rolling
Other than when a big wave bounces us around most people
take
it in stride. Many passengers have taken world cruises
and most
have cruised a lot more than we have.
On the first segment the most traveled passengers had
over 1200 days.
The second and third place had over 900 days. Foster
thought he heard
Sammi say she was an event where everyone had over 900
days. We
think it was the top 20/40 days traveled passengers.
We’ll never reach
that level. The only chance we have to make the top 20/40
would be
a short cruise in the Caribbean. All the long time
travelers would not
be showing up on the same 1-2 weeker.
