Pretty quiet day today.
Had breakfast with the sweetie, then watched the end of Love Actually which was playing on repeat on channel 24. Did some washing and jigsaw (sorting pieces on the stoopid art puzzle - they've started Polperro yet again).
Read for a while, finished the middle section of Love Actually, then had some lunch.

Wandered the ship for a while with the sweetie, then we had a swim on deck 8 (which as it turns out is a very deep pool, I can only just touch the ground on tippy toes at one end), then went in the spa for a bit.

We were going to go to the second pirate lecture, but didn't end up going.
Just did the very hard sudoku, chilled out, then got ready for dinner (had one of the bottles of bubbly I picked at Southampton, which as it turns out is closer to 1/6th the price of the cheapest bottle you can get on board, which is $30USD, plus service charges).

I wanted to go to the Christmas concert, but we were just too tired after dinner, so we collapsed into bed. But a nice relaxing day which was nice.
