Days 2-3: Relaxing at sea

We spent our first two days relaxing at sea and enjoying the views as we cruised from Florida to Aruba.

Enjoying the view from the back of the ship.

A brief rainstorm moving towards us.

The resulting rainbow over the sea.

A second rainbow after another rain cloud.

We went to a few shows, trivia games, 

and ship activities (like the martini demonstration).

But we mostly mostly hung out and  relaxed.

We also made sure we got value from our Princess Plus package.

Enjoying a breakfast (coffee) cocktail.

A nameless cocktail the bartender made up.

Overall service has been a bit slow and inefficient, but we have time to be patient. The ship feels very understaffed (the crew is hustling, there just are too few people to handle the demand).

Similarly, food has been what I expect on a cruise.

It's nicely presented but is typical banquet quality. We haven't had anything bad, but nothing has been remarkable, and the desserts are beautiful but fairly flavorless.
