January 5, 2019: Sea Day

After a good night sleep we awoke to the calm sea of the Caribbean, nice and warm and sunny to add. 9 o’clock tai chi class was very good as we have an expert Tai Chi master on board. We then attended the Cruise Critic get together at 10 for a little mix and mingle and to discuss any tours that they may be putting on. 11 o’clock was lecture time with Tim Calvert discussing the four voyages of Christopher Columbus, get this he never actually laid foot in America, wow, learn something new everyday. Lunch at noon, followed by Trivia at 1, then another lecture at 2 from one of the Columbian ambassador speakers to chat about our first port, Santa Marta. Let see, then it was dance class at 3 followed by some down time before our first formal night (or gala night) and the welcoming toast by the captain and the main officers on board. Surprising to us but not one familiar face on the stage, now that was a first in a long time. We had a very nice dinner to follow with surf and turf and escargot. Great entertainment tonight with Pianist, Paul Pappas. A great day indeed as we settle into our winter cabin here aboard the beautiful, Prinsendam.
