Excellent observations Pam. My first Princess cruise was on the Sapphire 10-day Baja with Pam. I learned the ship's library can be a lifesaver for those who run out of books to read. My favorite activity on sea days is a lounger with a good mystery novel. Ok - there might be a bucket of beer involved (tip I learned - bring your own small portable top opener if you don't want to wait for someone to come open a new one because you don't want to rip your fingers open twisting off a cap). I don't like to use my e-reader in the sun and ran out of reading material I brought on board. The library saved my trip.

I now visit my local Friends of the Library bookstore where I can purchase gently used hardcover and paperback reading material for my cruises for just a few dollars each. When I'm done reading them, I leave them in the library for someone else to enjoy. Makes extra room in my suitcase for the trinkets I purchase on the cruise! I'll utilize this and many more nuggets I've learned when I do the Baja again in April on the Ruby. Many thanks to all the contributors!
