During the course of the day Sun Princess continued on a west-north-westerly. At noon we were 247 miles east-south-east of Rose Island and 392 miles east-south of Tutuila Island which is the largest, and the main island, of American Samoa, in the archipelago of Samoan Islands.

The sea day count continues to clock up. A enjoyable 90 minute social breakfast upstairs was a nice start to the day. You may wonder what we talk about in all these social interactions that we have...well everything and anything, except religion and politics. This mornings discussion was about caravans vs RVs vs campers vs camper trailers.

Another tense struggle on the shuffle-board today, we only had time for one game, and it was a tie, so the arm wrestle between sexes continues :) Donna went off to a Hawaiian Dance class this arvo, so there is another dance skill she has !!!

We had a CC drinks today, attended by about 30 or so. It was nice to catch up again, though the numbers are falling as the cruise goes on, which is understandable.

After dinner entertainment tonight was a Multi instrumentalist, Danny Elliott, who was very good. It has been such a long time since we had a performer with any talent worth mentioning, so it was a pleasant change.
