A perfect day at sea - 3 August

A relaxed start to the day with Pat joining me for breakfast in Allegro (breaking her usual breakfast in the cabin routine).

A stunning day weather wise, not a cloud, not a breath of wind, and the sea like a mill pond. Passed many oil & gas platforms (including some doubles and triples), wind farms and, as we headed south, more and more shipping (even saw a break down being towed by a tug).

Coffee at the Princess Live Cafe, time in the sunshine on the Promenade Deck, a light lunch in Alfredo's then more time in the sun on the Sun Deck. Late afternoon on our cabin verandah as we sail past more wind farms - hundreds and hundreds of turbines and not a blade moving!!!

Bomb Alaska dinner tonight and guess what???

Princess Theatre tonight for Encore production show, then a trio in the Vista Lounge before Irish comedian, George Casey entertained us again.

Perfect weather today made this about the best sea day we have ever experienced.  Excellent shows on this cruise, particularly the production show which are just outstanding.

Today we are at Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain. The Mall is about 800m walk via overhead walkway from the Metro station, much of it on travelators. The Mall is said to be the world's largest - spread over 1 million square metres and containing 1200 retail outlets plus hundreds of food outlets. Naturally, all of the world brands are there but there does not seem to be a lot of business being done. It must be very different in the Tourist season, otherwise it is hard to imagine how they can all be viable - and nothing here is cheap. You just about need a gps to find y...
