Day 31 – Wednesday, February 5, 2025 – At Sea
30 days is the longest cruise we've ever done. Today is day 30. It doesn't feel like day 30. If my math is right, we have 86 to go. Breakfast was breakfast. No discussion needed here. We came back up to the room and sat around and did this and that. We had signed up to play cards at 1:00 so we went down there about 12:30. Neither of us lasted very long. I got knocked out at 7th. Mary made it to 5th. We will have to try again.
On the way out of the casino, Mary played one of those quarter games where you have to put the quarters in and you watch them fall over the edge. It was entertaining, but Mary didn't win anything. She did two rounds of $20 and that was about it. They happened to be starting bingo when we walked by so we bought the tablet for $79. This gives you something like 72 or 76 cards. You don't have to do anything but watch it. I think it was the second game where Mary won bingo. Unfortunately, she had to share the $125.00 with two other people, So she brought home $42.00.
We went to dinner at 5:00. We both had big salads. We both have cheddar cheese soup. I had barramundi fish. Mary had a pasta chicken dish for her main meal. I had grapefruit sorbet. Mary had vegan chocolate ice cream. It was a nice dinner.
We had an invitation to go to the Princess circle club. It is where you get to meet the captain and the officers. We found the spot up front. The presentation lasted only about 15 minutes. The captain came on and talked for about 5 minutes. Then they acknowledged the people with the most days sailed. There were three couples we all had about 2400 days Princess ships. That is something like 6 1/2 years. That to me is crazy. When I do the math on the number of days we will have sailed after this cruise it only works out to be about seven months on Princess ships.
We walked past the picture taking station. Of course, we stopped and got a few more pictures taken. We must be near 150 pictures by now. If my math is right, we are on track for 600 pictures. Kind of funny.
We made it back to the room. It had been a nice quiet day. Nothing that adventurous. I guess we need days like this.
