Jet lag really makes me mad when I wake up before 7am local time simply because it is 10am at home! It’s vacation for goodness sake! I’m supposed to sleep in! But noooo my brain thinks I have slept the day away because it’s still on East Coast time! I got up and headed for the Lido Restaurant and my made to order omelet that I knew was waiting on me. I sat outside and enjoyed the peacefulness as everyone else thought it too cold (perks of being one of the youngest onboard!). I hit the gym and the view from the elliptical was worth the sweating! Nothing but endless ocean! I found Roy after I finished at the gym and he was going to attend one of the classes in the Microsoft Digital Workshop so I headed off to shower and attend my own class in the Culinary Arts Center. They have a state of the art kitchen where they do cooking classes and demonstrations. I participated in an Alaska themed demonstration where Alex, one of the head chefs, prepared a wonderful scallop recipe and a halibut recipe. Every attendee was given copies of the recipes and samples of the scallops. Roy and I reconvened for lunch in the Lido Restaurant then went to a mandatory meeting for the travel agent FAM. Later in the day, we spent some time in the Explorations Lounge checking email and reading. After dinner, we attended the first big stage production of the cruise, Amore! It was a great singing and dancing show with a complimentary champagne party. What’s not to love!
Thank goodness we will arrive in the first port of call tomorrow, Juneau! While the ship is beautiful, I am not used to sitting around. I can’t wait to get off the ship and explore the “Great Land”!
