Slept somewhat better. Well except for hurty keeping me awake for a couple of hours. Still a very early wakeup though. And even earlier with the change in timezones overnight. Blerf.

Had breakfast in Kings Court. Much the same, although no fruit this time because I was already feeling a bit full.
Went out for a wander to photograph/videograph some rooms in the ship I hadn't before (specifically the Board Room and Churchills for this venture), but people kept being in them :(

Headed back to the Grills Concierge Lounge to photograph it (hey, I'll never get another chance) and pick up tickets for the planetarium show (they have a bunch reserved for Grills passengers so you don't have to fight the hoardes down in Connexions. So that was pretty cool.

Did some more exploring. Took photos/videos in the Verandah restaurant and the library (including photos out the front windows of the waves coming up as high as deck 7!!).

I did get back to Churchill's Cigar Lounge to find noone in it
Then did the jigsaw for a while. Did I mention the rough seas?

A bit before 12pm collected the sweetie and we went and saw the ringing of the bell at 12pm, then went to a talk by Dr Seth Gopin on The Rise of the New York Skyscraper which was pretty interesting.
Again lunch in Kings Court was pretty crowded with people coming out of the talk (I suggested we could actually have lunch in Princess Grill but the sweetie wasn't interested).
Pretty much just did the jigsaw in the afternoon.
We went to go see the planetarium show only to find they'd all been cancelled due to the rough weather.

Headed back to the room to fill in some time. I downloaded photos, but I was too restless to relax. We were both feeling a little off colour due to the non-stop rocking of the ship. Not sick sick, just not 100%. The sweetie didn't want to go the restaurant for dinner, so we ended up going down to the pub for a couple of drinks, did the pub trivia (got 9/12 plus the double or nothing question), then dinner in Kings Court.

I tried again to use the internet, but it was basically useless. Couldn't get anything to load. So tried to logout, but the page froze up. Wasting most of my time just waiting for the login/logout page to load and nothing happening. Why am I paying for a "service" that they're not even providing??? Filled with rage, but the sweetie just told me to deal with it in the morning. Le sigh.
