Day at sea - beautiful weather

Today started off a little overcast but when it brightened up the sea was a beautiful deep blue. The sunset was also spectacular. The temperature all day was very pleasant, a little on the warm side which made getting into the pool refreshing.

I've been waiting for a $15 laundry bag special, but unfortunately I waited too long. As a result, when we had a special today I couldn't get all my laundry in the bag so had to hit the laundry room. The Tahitian Princess has 4 washers and 4 dryers for the whole ship. Luckily I got in and out pretty quickly by following a tip from a fellow passenger and put both my loads in the same dryer.

I got my water exercises in as the ocean was much calmer. I also walked for about 45 min. after dinner on the top deck. We had been in the Eastern time zone for the entire trip up to Lima. The sun was setting about 6 p.m. This evening it set shortly after 9. However we haven't had any on-board time changes yet. I'm not sure what time zone Easter Island is in. We have one more sea day before we get there and I don't see anything in the Princess Patter (daily newsletter) regarding a change tomorrow. Easter Island is part of Chile so maybe they operate in the same time zone as Chile to make conducting business easier.

As Elite we used to get free laundry. Has this perk gone away?
