Dorinda Posted September 29, 2006 #426 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hi kids!Tony suggested I chime in so here I am!First, I have to say that Tony's food descriptions are mouth watering. If the food on here was always as good as he describes I'd weigh 300 pounds by now! I find the more we cruise the easier it is to pass on many items. The food here on the PP is good but thank goodness it's not as good as Tony makes it sound!I'd say this cruise is special because of the Captain and the Cruise Director. Both have made the cruise memorable for us. Oh yeah, that guy, Tony, is pretty fun, too!It was a fun day onboard today...a lecture on Cook, trivia, lunch, the crossing the line ceremony, water color class, trivia, and now it's time for pre dinner cocktails. I didn't even find time to swim or exercise....maybe tomorrow!We had a good time last night at late night trivia - the girls vs the guys. Kim promised us prizes that had never been given on any cruise ship! Well, the guys won by one point and the prizes were...frying pans! Hung from ribbons around the neck they were like very large medals. We all had a good laugh and pictures were taken of the happy winners.Looking forward to another fun evening and another relaxing day at sea tomorrow. Cheers from the PP,Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&J Posted September 29, 2006 Author #428 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Just got abck from dinner and had a "Steak Lorraine" med-rare, stuffed baked potato, and side order of grilled garlic shrimp and string beans and a ceasar salad to start. For dessert Rocky Road Ice Cream and Coffee...yummy meal!Now going to the "Office" and then BED! Tomorrow is another lazy day at sea and then following day at twelve noon we are in Mahe, Seychelles until 7:00pm....You know when you are in the middle of nowhere when the ship can't get any CNN, Bloomberg, ESPN etc!More to follow later tonight from the Pacific Princess....Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrysalis Posted September 29, 2006 #430 Share Posted September 29, 2006 In case this is one of the trivia questions when you are in/near the Seychelles..... "Where is the only other place in the world with the same large, granite boulder deposits as those found on the Seychelles?" Answer: "Virgin Gorda, BVI" now, I hope you win a frying pan with that one...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES, I play progressive betting at Blackjack...I am ahead still on this cruise but took a hit last night!!!....OUCH! IMHO and my personal experience most players on ships DO NOT know how to play so I prefer playing one on one with the dealer.... Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie :D Hello Kowkitty!...I have travelled solo on thsi ship all summer and spring of this year and I have come accross some single ladies as well on here...there is so much to do...now if you are looking for a gentleman that's 80 with a weak heart and thick wallet there are plenty of those on here too!....HEHEHHEEEEE!!! The gym has 5 treadmills and usually not all 5 are working...always a maintenance issue with them.... CAT BD, 6054 is a good location and is far enough away from the Cabaret Lounge below deck 6 so you should be fine! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
