We started our evening with the Captains Circle party in the Universe Lounge (again, with the fourth highest number of days, just outside of getting a free bottle of schlock....er, champagne). While we waited for the official party to start, a DVD of the new Royal Princess was showing on the big screens on either side of the road. We looked at each other and said, "We'll try it once- maybe- but it's just too large for us."
Dinner at a table for two required just a couple minute wait, but service was rushed and I never did get offered coffee. Oh well, I drank quite a bit today trying to stay warm.
We then went to the Princess Theater for the production show Motor City, which we've seen...oh, twenty dozen times in the past. We know the song sequence and many of the dance steps by heart, but we still love it. They have three excellent production shows on this cruise, all still in their original 45-50 minute format. We have really enjoyed them all...but I don't think I've seen any of the other entertainment. We've been worn out by 9pm every night after busy days in port.
At 9:30pm, there is still a hint of light outside as we head north up the coast of southeastern Alaska. Although we're in open water in the Gulf of Alaska, the water is still smooth as glass out there. Cruise Director Richard Joseph said tonight that it's official: we've had the best weather of the entire season this cruise. Yayyyyy!
