Surprise Sea Day

 This was supposed to be our day in Juneau but we did enjoy the surprise sea day.

Last evening we enjoyed the formal night. Everyone at our table was dressed for the special evening which made it very nice. The food was great and the company was so enjoyable. The other three whose names I did not remember are Gary senior and son Gary and wife of senior is Debbie.

It is amazing how many times we laughed. The 5 o'clock meal time is better than we expected because it is not busy and not as noisy. After our meal we headed for mid ship because of the champagne waterfall. Almost immediately we were offered memosas. There are definate advantages to having the ship half full. 

Next we headed for the princess theatre for the production show called Starlight. It was very good and as we expected the Princess Orchestra was outstanding.

After the show we intended to change clothes and return to the entertainment areas but we did not make it. When we got out of our finery we decided to call it a night.


On the way to dinner we hid 2 of our ducks. This morning on the way to breakfast we hid 2 more. Right now all 4 have been found. 

We received a notice from the captain saying that each passenger would receive $150.00 as a compensation for the delay and the cancelled port. 


I woke early this morning and I was treated to a most beautiful sunrise with an amazing rainbow. We were so lucky to have had our drapes open so we could catch a glimpse of it.






We sat at a table for 4 at breakfast. The other couple is from Virginia. They usually sail free because of their use of the Casino. I wonder how much those free cruises cost them.

For lunch we were at a table for 6 and the other 2 couples were from Washington and Idaho. Again meal time was very pleasant and we met and visited with very nice friendly people.

Last evening when we returned to our cabin we found a towel annimal on our bed. It is a dog and if I even get these pictures to download I will post a picture of it. We have not named it yet.





But the big event today was receiving the invitation to the Captain's luncheon. So we are 2 of the 40 most travelled passengers. The luncheon is September 24st and that is also the second and last formal night. I will have to get my hair done that morning for sure.




It was drizzling earlier but the sun has just broken through. A good sign for sure.

We strolled around the ship and took a few pictures. Still have not viewed it all.





When we arrived at dinner we learned that young Gary found a duck. His duck is wearing a red toque and sunglasses. Really cute.


Dinner was great as usual. The main course featured Prime Rib. Ken was in his glory.



One of the desserts was carrot cake and it was done quite differently.



Tomorrow we will be in Juneau. Because this will be our seventh stop there we have nothing special planned.
