BLOWING IN THE WIND

Well after some difficulties logging on and out of devices...I think I have it sorted now so that I actually can blog each day.

Our first night at sea was a blustery one.  There was loud and howling winds and we sailed north through the inside passage.  The water wasn't rough, but the noisy wind kept us awake periodically through the night.

The day began as most days do cruising...get up and get breakfast.  The buffet area on deck 15 was so cold.  Definitely needed a sweater or sweatshirt while having our breakfast, but as it was only Day 1 in that area...we were unprepared.  We didn't linger.  We were soon on our way to find a latte to warm us up.

This is our first experience with a medalion instead of a cruise card and I must say I quite like it!  It allows you to locate friends on the ship as well as when approaching your stateroom, your door automatically unlocks so you just have to use the handle to enter.  Quite convenient.  

We had dinner in the main dining room.   It was delicious.  I have rarely had an issue with the food or the choices available.  Tonight one of the choices was tenderloin slices of beef.  Nothing to complain about there!  Nancy enjoyed escargots.  We tried our luck in the casino after dinner and believe me, there was no luck for us!  But we saved some of our combined deposit to try again another night.  Regardless of or lack of winnings...we had fun together.

Then we were off to the  Explorer's Lounge to participate in a few of the games that you could join in on.  The two we saw were music oriented - it was a good way to spend a few hours.  We will make our way to the Explorer's Lounge each evening I think as it is fun

So another day is done and dusted and tomorrow we arrive in Juneau so we have a chance to go explore.  Already I can feel that I am anxious to go find the quilt store(s).  I know I will have luck there!  😉
