Today is a day at sea.
We will arrive in Vancouver tomorrow morning and then fly home via
Minneapolis and Hartford. We are
again having sunny weather, although cool on the deck. After breakfast this morning, we came
back to our cabin to pack. We will
put our cases in the hallway before bed and they will take care of transferring
them to the airport tomorrow. At
10 AM, we watched the head chef and head maitre de give a cooking demonstration
and then had a tour of the galley.
It was an amazing place!
They prepare 850 pounds of fish, 2000 portions of salad, 900 pounds of
pasta, 5000 assorted pastries, and, just for Lana, 8 gallons of mayonnaise each
day! After lunch, I signed up to
walk a 5 K cancer walk out on the promenade deck. It took 8 times around to make the 5 K. It was breezy and chilly on one side of
the ship and warm and sunny on the other.
The bonus of taking the walk was that I saw an otter quite near the ship
and also a whale come to the surface (of course, I didn’t have the camera with
me!). We went for high tea this
afternoon and now I am catching up on the blog and relaxing until dinner. Our waiter told us to bring cameras
tonight as they will be parading with baked Alaska tonight. We will go to a musical this evening and
then get some sleep before getting to dock something early tomorrow
morning. This has been an
interesting experience. While we
have enjoyed the ship and being pampered, I think the shore excursions were our
favorites. Most of the people
onboard do not look like they enjoy the activity and we are not ones to just
sit around. It was a great way to
see Alaska and all of its beauty, but I don’t think there is any chance we will
become “cruisers’.
