Let the Hula Hoops Twirl

When I came down for dinner the first thing I encountered was Hula Hoop Girl spinning a half dozen hoops to "Conga."

The entertainment in the Piazza seems to alternate between these kinds of specialty acts and some very talented musicians.

The Bridge Crew Is Horny

I finally was able to collapse after a long flight and a long wait in the airport for a delayed bag. Then it was hurry up and wait getting to Southampton. I need a short nap and shower before dinner.

Just as I'm settling into the comfortable Princess bed, and as I'm closing my eyes, I hear another ship moving through the harbor salute Royal Princess with a long blast on its whistle. But then the bridge returns the salute with her specialty whistle playing the first two lines of "The Love Boat" theme.

Cute, but that was enough for today. It's a fine line Princess is walking with that thing. A very fine line, indeed. Especially when I'm in a sleep-deprived state.

First Glimpse of Royal Princess

Royal Princess looks a bit different from when I saw her in Italy at the end of March. For one thing, I can tell she has railings on the balconies.

More from inside after I get settled.
