Emerald Princess Cruise: Day 8

Another Sea Day!! I personally love see days. Good thing because this cruise has two-thirds sea days. Look at me go and put that math degree to use. We started off the day having lunch. Yes you know what that means… we slept in and missed breakfast…again. Then we went outside and watched the water go by. We are so close to the shore that we saw a sea turtle, couple dolphins, a stingray jump out of the water and even saw a whale. However when I had my camera up all I got were a couple of birds.

After bird watching we settled down in a super cute lounge called the Explorers Lounge. I had some more of my favorite drink, the cupcake cocktail. Yes in the pictures you see three of them in different locations because yes I had three of them today and I’m proud of it! After all it was the emerald princess’s birthday today. They had a big celebration in the main lobby. So I had three birthday cocktails for the Emerald! That is my story and I’m sticking to it.

After sitting around in the lounge for a while, we went to Tea Time where we all sat around with our pinkies in the air speaking in British accents. I have to say the princess tea time is quite a bit better than other ones I have been to. The sandwiches were super yummy and very filling. So much so that we had to move our dinner to a later time.

Then we went back to our room and get all snazzied up in our sparkly clothes since it was a formal night. They definitely dress up a little more formal on this ship. I super like the fact that even the waiters are in tuxedos. Before dinner we caught the mighty Quinn show. He’s a juggling comedian and he was very funny.

After the show we went to see our favorite waiter Gus. The appetizer was a crawfish beignet however they called it something else. We’re just going to call it a beignet. And tonight was lobster night! Everything was super delicious. After dinner we rolled ourselves back to our state room to find these amazing certificates with the exact location that we saw the solar eclipse. My friend is already looking to see when the next solar eclipse over water is so we can book another cruise. It is definitely a must do bucket list item for everybody.

Wish you were here!!
