Alaska day 3: Asian food, fancy dressing and dancing

Woke up early again today. Not liking it! We got dressed and went straight to breakfast at the buffet. Most of the stuff at the buffet was the same stuff they had last morning. They added a few new things like kielbasa and corned beef hash. The fruit selection was also different. I went to a shopping event after breakfast where they teach you how to spend more of your money! It took forever! They teach you how to find what you're looking for, how to get things for a good deal and things that are too good to pass up. They threw a lot of free stuff into the crowd.

After the shopping event we went to an art auction for the free champagne. We were there early and we were hungry so we grabbed food from the cafe and brought it up to the auction. I got a beef pie and another tomato and fresh mozzarella sandwich. This auction wasn't fast paced or hardcore auctions you see on tv. Not a lot of the items sold and nobody fought to get an item.

We had lunch at the buffet today. In addition to the regular food at the buffet, they had an Asian theme. I've noticed that cruise ships don't do Asian food very well. Afterwards we headed off to choir practice again. I didn't participate today- just watched and observed. After rehearsal I showered and got ready for formal night.

At dinner today we sat with some really cool people. The husband of one couple worked in the oil industry and his wife didn't work. The other couple owned real estate and was a sports memorabilia dealer. I ordered some sort of fish for dinner, I can't remember what it was called, and a sugar free fruit tart for dessert. The fish was good. The fruit came on the side of the fruit tart, which I thought was pretty odd.
After dinner we went to watch the Stardust Show at the Princess Theater. It was pretty cool. They performed a lot of songs from past decades.

The Princess Popstar Karaoke competition event wasn't on the Princess Patter that night so arrived late and wasn't able to sign up. Maybe that's a sign. My parents and grandmother went to a comedy show with the same comedian we had the first night. I had no interest in going and my sister needed to get another cruise card so I took her to do that.

Later that night we went to the Skywalkers Nightclub where met up with some friends we have met during our time here. I got to lead some line dances and we danced all night!
