Day 3

We woke up quite late for us at 8.30am. I suppose it’s normal time really but seems later due to the clock changes.

We got showered and dressed ready for breakfast by 9.30am. We went to the sit down breakfast which was nice. They came around with juices which were better than what we are used to on P&O because as much as I do like our cruises on there it does have a few bad point and watered down juices is a pet peeve, but this was only better by a little, for the best we had to pay more from the menu and we weren’t doing that.

Me and Scarlett had French toast,

Georgia had pancakes

and Scott had a burrito.

Ours were quite nice, they looked absolutely amazing when they came out, just a little bit lacking in flavour. Scott said he couldn’t get used to having salsa and guacamole for breakfast which I don’t get either. I don’t think he would have that again. I’m not sure why he chose it to begin with.

Once we were done the kids wanted to go to their club so we sent them there for an hour as they said they only wanted to test it for a little while.

We collected them an hour later, all they had done was play baby games apparently and went for a walk around the ship to see where everything was since this was a new ship to us. We stopped at the schooner bar and Scott got a drink while the kids least Spanish. I’d had to take tablets as I was actually feeling really poorly by this point.

For lunch we went up to the seaplex and had a hot dog which wasn’t brilliant, it was mediocre, maybe I have too much expectations due to what people say about the food on here but Scott enjoyed his.

Me and the girls had a classic hotdog while he had one with sauerkraut and sweet pickles.
We played corn hole, which is a bag tossing game and I didn’t win.

Then we played table football and we were terrible at it.
We decided to go swimming around 2pm so Scott and Georgia went to go get the swimming stuff and me and Scarlett got seats.

We watched as a bird, we think maybe a young one, flew straight into the window pane and landed on the floor. Scarlett, being who she is and can’t leave animals alone, got it on her hand and she looked after it for an hour and it managed to get better and fly off. Hopefully not into any more windows.

The girls spent a few hours in the outside pool before getting dressed and going to a music quiz in the music hall.

Unfortunately it was so quiet we couldn’t hear it from upstairs so got fed up and went to do bumper cars instead.

Took a good 30mins waiting in the queue for them, Georgia and me had a head on collision and then Scarlett got me from behind at the same time. Little bit of whiplash and Georgia complained afterwards. I think maybe she’s sitting too close to reach the pedals. I’m not sure we would do this again now.

We managed to get changed very quickly and down for dinner at 6pm as we were told that if we come at that time then they would be able to seat us at a table.

We had calamari to start.

Then Scott had a Guinness pie,

I had seafood spaghetti

and the kids had cordon bleu.

We really enjoyed both the starters and mains. This was the type of food people had been raving about. We had crumble and creme brûlée for pudding which were nice but nothing special for those unlike the starts and mains.

We went to sit in the theatre at the front waiting for the illusionist. He was more like a magician and it was a lot of card tricks. They were quite good though and we couldn’t work out how he did most of them. Georgia got to join in with one of the tricks so she was extremely happy about that, as you know she loved to be centre of attention. The girls also had Cotton Candy which was quite cool. I do wish they would had this on P&O sometimes.

We got back to the cabin around 9pm and got ready for bed. Early night for us as is usual.
