Evening after Juneau








We had eaten pizza around 1:30pm, and so at 4:30pm weren't all that interested in dressing formally for dinner. Instead, the gorgeous scenery passing by, and the warm sun in our balcony convinced us to move around our plans for the evening. G headed to the hot tubs on the Lido Deck, but returned after not too long. His reason? The views were better from our cabin. So we soaked up the scenery and sun, dressing for the evening in just enough time to go to the Captains Circle party at 7:15pm. Once again, we had the fourth highest number of Princess days. Always a bridesmaid...

After the Captains Circle party, we stepped outside the Universe Lounge to see the best sunset of the cruise unfolding just outside the windows. And, the best part was that it was warm enough for us to step out on the Promenade Deck to take a few photos. Wow, we've enjoyed great weather.

We then went to the Princess Theater to see comedian Carlos Oscar. Now, Carlos had beaten our beloved Beatle Maniacs to win Princess Entertainer of the Year (I'm still dumbfounded at that fact). He was funny...but as a comedian, he does a show we'll see once. Beatle Maniacs we enjoy cruise after cruise after cruise. And that's important to us, as we stay on a ship for cruise after cruise after cruise.

:-)

Finally, after 9pm we finally arrived in the dining room for formal night dinner. Only the draw of lobster and beef Wellington had us eating dinner that late. We made it through dinner, and then were in bed 20 minutes later. It had been a full day!

Tomorrow: our final port of call, Ketchikan
