Evening on Sapphire
Sapphire Princess left at about 4.30 pm.
Later we watched some more of a movie before getting changed for an early dinner. At the Savoy restaurant we were turned back as Myles was wearing shorts. After a quick dash back to the cabin we tried again. This time we were told the Savoy was full and to try the next door restaurant, the Verona.
It was Italian night and all the servers were in red or blue striped tops. I had the prawns, a Caesar salad, chicken breast stuffed with cheese and then a strawberry sundae. The prawns were served on a bed of lettuce with a spicy sauce and was excellent.
After our late night watching the comedian we opted for the first performance of Paul Baker in the theatre. While we sat the theatre filled until at the time for the show it was standing room only.
We enjoyed the show and realised that we have probably seen him perform in Starlight Express and in Chicago in London’s West End.
At 9:30 I went to the upper decks to see the sunset before back to the room for a very early night with my book.
From the Cruise Log
La Coruna – Monday, 27th May 2019
Overnight Sapphire Princess maintained various southerly courses towards La Coruna. At 05:43 the Officer of the Watch instructed the Engine Control Room to “Stand by Below’ as once again we readied the vessel for manoeuvring. With the pilot on-board at 06:02, Sapphire Princess proceeded inbound as we prepared to come alongside our berth. Sapphire Princess cast her first line ashore at 06:52 and we were,’Finished with Engines’ as Sapphire Princess settled down for a quiet day alongside in the Port of La Comna.
At 15:30 Sapphire Princess was almost ready to depart and once again the OOW rang “Stand by Below”. The Gangway was shipped and with all of our guests on-board we let go our last line at 16:09. Sapphire Princess then followed reciprocal courses out of the harbour. Once clear we set southerly courses towards Bilbao.
