The Princess Patter

While we are waiting for the update from Tallinn, Estonia I thought it might be fun to take a look at what there is to do onbaord a cruise ship, for those of you who haven't cruised before.  When planning for days at sea, many people are concerned that there won't be enough to do but that is simply not the case!  Organized activities may include dancing, cooking classes, athletic activities and classes in the fitness centre, bingo, movies, demonstrations (cooking, craft, decorative), shopping and port excursion discussions, tours of the ship, art shows and receptions. 

Many more activities are available for passengers to join in at their leisure, such as golf, rock climbing, swimming, shopping, card games, spa services, arcades and the casino. 

Princess cruises provide passengers with a newsletter each night, The Princess Patter,  which lists all of the activities and useful information for the following day including ports of call, weather, dining options, activities onboard, sales in the shops and various receptions and special events.  Here are a couple of sample pages from two different Princess Patter newsletters. 

Check back soon for further updates from the Baltic!
