This morning we went to Deborah’s Port Talk about Barcellona. At 12.30pm Marlin gave another of his World Geography Film Making lectures. This time I talked Betty into coming. The title was Southern Europe and it covered some of the cities we have already been to and some yet to come on this cruise. Again it was a very interesting show. It was delayed for a short while so that they could correctly adjust the replacement video projector which is now temporarily located strapped to a seat part way up the theatre. We had decided to have a late lunch after the lecture even though we knew we would be missing the Fruit Flambe served in the Horizon Court which finished at 1.30pm. However we were able to leave the lecture during question time and just make it to deck 14 before they cleared it away and it was all delicious. Tonight we were invited by the Captain to a deck party for everyone who is in the Captain’s Circle. After you have sailed with Princess Cruises once you are automatically in the Captain’s Circle so there would be quite a crowd. These days we avoid these gatherings and just go to the ones for Elite passengers which is a smaller group. Showtime tonight featured Neil Lockwood who is an Elton John tribute act. Not having ever seen Elton John in concert it was a little hard to know if he was doing a good job or not. He certainly can sing and play the piano and he performed a lot of Elton’s songs. He also dressed in character with a number of costume changes. Tonight we put our clocks back another hour which is just as well as we have an early start tomorrow on our tour in Koto.
