Panama Canal Day 9

A day at sea today. I tried to sleep in but woke at 7 and got up at 8. Guess it pays to go to bed early. I attended a talk on things to see and do in our next 2 ports, Puerto Chiapas and Huatulco. Then I went to my Zumba class. A lot people cram into a small area to do this class and I am quite surprised how almost everyone follows, even though the cueing is minimal. I love the music and the moves and it’s a really great workout even though it’s only 30 minutes long. I am going to look for some good Zumba music and/or dvd’s when I get home.

After class, I headed to the photo studio to look at the 8x10 Panama Canal photos they have for sale there. Along came Darlene, then Dawn a few minutes later. We couldn’t have timed it better. We decided to go for ‘coffee’ and that turned into lunch in the lovely Versailles dining room. In the afternoon we went to another Q & A on ‘Life at Sea’ with the staff. Some great questions were answered.

Later on I went to a bachata dance class. After practising solo, we paired off and practised some more – another good form of exercise.


Every night between 5 and 6 depending on our location, the sun sets, providing wonderful color each and every time. You have to be alert because it sets quickly. However there is a lot of nice color afterwards for a few minutes as well.



We ate supper at the buffet and retired to our rooms early.
