It was not the best of days outside, and we had nowhere to go except for lunch and dinner. So, we took advantage of the option to have Room Service breakfast to start our day. And we found that the quality of the food delivered to us was slightly better than would be found in the buffet, as the hot food we had was a little warmer and fresher.
After breakfast, we had to rebook our Edinburgh excursion. Our original shore excursion was cancelled, and we had to find (and book) one that would both fit our interests and our budget. Luckily, we found one, and were able to book this excursion without any complications.
We had nothing left to do until lunch. And this would be a hearty one, as we had reservations at the Crab Shack pop-up. This restaurant is not part of our fare, so it is the one time we're paying extra for our meal. And it is generally worth it on all Princess Cruises' ships.

Around 1 pm, we sauntered down to Crab Shack, where we had a filling lunch. Unlike the last time we ate at Crab Shack, I was unimpressed with the Clam Chowder. But the Signature Seafood Pot made up for it, even though they had to substitute Snow Crab Legs for Dungeness Crab. By the time 2 pm came, we were filled to the gills, and not in the mood to contemplate dinner at 7 pm.
At 7 pm, we went to the ship's casual dining restaurant to have some pizza. It was good, and we didn't have to suffer the slow service we had in the ship's main dining room. Additionally, it was a much shorter walk for me as well - less wear and tear on the legs.

While editing my cruise blog, I lost the entire contents of an entry which I've been writing for the better part of 10 days. AARGH! Now, I have to take the time to reconstruct it from notes I made in this blog. Wish me luck!
