Monday - At Sea - September 30


Princess Cruises came from the name of the first vessel first chartered from Canada in 1965 – the Princess Patricia owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway.  Their daily magazine, Princess Patter is also named in reference to Patricia. 

Spent the morning looking around the shopping specials and I went to the ‘Emerald Passion’ presentation with James from Provenance Gems.  He gave an in-depth talk about the history of emeralds, where they were found and who wore them and why, the main locations of emerald mines currently and their famous owners throughout history.  In the afternoon, David and I went back to the store to have a look at some of his jewellery for sale.  Other new jewels being showcased on this cruise include tanzanite, zultanite, ammolite and El Arco de Amor… 

Headed off for a swim in the Lotus Spa pool which is my favourite area because the roof is enclosed.  Later, we went to the Lido deck to have some fresh pizza, margaritas and listen to the ‘Stevie Wonder: Live at Last’ concert! 

After yet another fantastic meal in the Bordeaux Room, we ventured to the Princess Theatre to see a comic named ‘Steve Moris’.  What a hoot!  We laughed so much we almost cried!  So impressed we were, that we purchased his DVD to take home and enjoy again at another time! ‘I see a yellow bird’….
