Regal Princess
Princess Cays/At Sea
78F, sunny
It was a beautiful sunny day for a cruise picnic on the beach at
Princess Cays today. We took the 2nd water shuttle to Princess’ private
resort on Eleuthera, Bahamas, 38
acres of palm trees, tropical shrubs, and beach! We found the most perfect spot near the
covered bar area and live music, under a tree with full shade and an
unobstructed view of the beach, the sea, and the Regal Princess anchored
about 15 minutes away. A cool breeze kept
us comfortable.
The view from our lounge chairs all day

Lots of people passed us by, but we were virtually alone in our
sweet little private area. I was reading my 5th book (another Baldacci)
and TK was observing the passersby. Island music set the atmosphere. I do know
that at one point he commented, “Where is Lawrence when I need him?” Something
to do with skimpy swim wear I believe.

The ship’s cooks prepared a delicious barbecue with burgers, dogs,
chicken, salads, beans, and fruits. I truly hated to leave this paradise to
return to the ship--
We do “Anytime Dining” and last night we were able to easily get a
table for two. Tonight there was a long line to get into our dining room, so I
think we will make reservations from now on—sort of counterintuitive for “anytime.”
Spaghetti and meatballs for me with cold
peach soup as an appetizer. Very good.
Tonight's menu-I hope you can enlarge the image to read it
Every night there is a main vegetarian main dish, fish, chicken, beef/veal/or pork
A dish can be tailored for vegan
This menu is available every evening
After dinner we went to the Princess Theater to see Troy Thirdgill,
the stand up comedian. We have seen him before on ships and he has been to Jr’s.
Last Laugh Comedy Club in Erie. He is very funny.
[Thirdgill was in Beverly Hills 90210 and In
Living Color, and other TV shows]
In his last story of the show, he said that Princess Cruise Lines had
him sign a contract that says that the entertainers must help guests in case of
an emergency, like getting into lifeboats. He told the audience not to count on him being like
the band on the Titanic that kept playing till the bitter end. Thirdgill
said he did not see himself telling jokes while helping people into lifeboats
when the ship was sinking. He said that once he was in the lifeboat with his
own seat, he would tell all the jokes anyone wanted to hear. Now that was
funny! That is my kind of humor!
TK’s Takes: There were
lots of people on Princess Cays today, more than usual-seemed like everyone got
off the ship. It was a nice day-everyone thought it was going to rain.
