First real Day of our adventure,
We decided to have breakfast in the dining room since it is a sea day and we do not have to rush.
We met some very nice people and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast.
Then we explored a little and I was able to get my magnet of the Diamond Princess. I also saw the vegetable carving. They are amazing always.
Next we attended the Scholarship at Sea program and Sammy told us a lot about the ports we will visit in Alaska
For lunch we went to the Savoy Dining Room and we had the English Pub Lunch. The fish and chips are so good and those were my July fries.
We listened to some of the Naturalists presentation and we decided to go to the Champagne Art auction. They are always so interesting. You learn a lot about art and some artists and it is a great time and place for people watching, and beside they serve lots of champagne .Much to our surprise and pleasure Ken’s name was drawn for the raffle.
Then it was time to get ready for the first Formal night. This is the night for the Captain’s welcome and the Champagne waterfall.
When we arrived at our table we were surprised to see that they had added 2 more chairs. We are now a table for eight. Did I mention that we are at table number seven? Our lucky number. Anyway the diner partners are Jim and Jerry from Michigan, Bob and Hilary from Arizona and Glen and Penny from New Jersey. It seems to be a very nice group. Glen and Penny are cruise virgins.:-)
After diner we picked up a glass of memosa and headed for the theatre. The atrium was so crowded that we only had a peek at the waterfall and continued on our way.
We got good seats for the show, finished our champagne and people watched until it was time for the show. The production show was called “ Do You Wanna Dance” As usual it was high energy and included lots of special effects and amazing costuming.
When the show was over we went to our room and changed our clothes. Ken had enough of his tie and I had enough of the high heels. W e walked the deck for awhile but it was windy and cold so we went to Explorers Lounge to wait for the performance of Dan Bennet. He was even better than last evening and we had a good laugh.
By then it was almost eleven o’clock and we were tired, it was a busy day. We went to Horizon Court, got a glass of tea and a cookie and we called it a day. The clock is set for 5:15 we have a very early tour on Monday morning.
