We woke very early, before six. I checked the e-mail and there was a message from Kerri saying that they would be there to pick us up. We decided to go to the dining room for breakfast. We were at a table for 8 and the people were all Americans and very interesting.
After breakfast we went to the photo gallery and we choose our pictures. We bought one from Juneau and one from Skagway, the embarkation photo, one from Glacier Bay and the one with the captain. I also got the rights to do a photobook with Panraven. Because of having a Platinum card it came to only 89.75, so that was not too bad.
Next we came back to the stateroom to begin packing. What a job.!
Ken wrote the thank you notes and prepared the tip envelopes for the waiters and the Steward.
I went to customer service and got a copy of our account to make sure all was as it should be. I also went upstairs to the Dessert Extravaganza to get pictures. It is always so very amazing and taking pictures does not raise my blood sugar.
We were just about finished the packing by noon so we went to the Santa Fe dining room for the English Pub Lunch. We gave in and went to the Lido Deck to at least have a taste of the dessert selections.
After that we went to the Princess Links and played a round of Mini Golf. This is a better course thn the one on the Sapphire.
Then we went to check out the art at the art auction. If they had a Josaphine we were going to stay to see what the price was but it was obvious that none of her works were scheduled to sell.
I dropped of the camera batteries for recycling and Ken put the “You Made a Difference” cards into the drop box.
We returned to the stateroom to have a rest. I was beat after all of the running around.
We decided that we should go to the special reception for Elite and Platinum passengers at least once so we dressed early and away we went. Tonight was the special cheeses with port wine. It was really very good. We were surprised at how few people were there. I guess everyone was packing.
We then went to dinner with these friends for the last time. It was Baked Alaskian night, which is always fun. I was amazed by Jennifer. She is a very thin little bit of a woman and she just loves meringue. She ate her dessert, asked for extra meringue, then asked Salvador for more meringue and then as she left the dining room she got another big plate of meringue.
We returned to our room, changed our clothes and put our suitcases into the hall.
Then we went topside to watch the ship sail along the inside passage. We walked along the top of the bridge and visited with others who were doing the same thing. It was cold and breezy so we went into the Conservatory and sat on longue chairs. Ken went back and got our wine wnd the glasses and we sat and finished our wine as the light faded. We brought that one bottle of wine from home and it took us the entire cruise to drink it.
Then we returned to our room.
Vancouver tomorrow.Our Last Full Day,
