Today was our chance to sleep in. It was a sea day and we were going through College Fjord. Krista and I were both sound asleep and the phone rang before 7:00 am. It was Chase. He was so excited and said are you all seeing all of this. I asked him what it was and he said ice bergs and glaciers. Well that started my day. I got up and looked to see what he was seeing. I had seen scenery like this before but it was still nice to see it again. I was just glad that he was enjoying the cruise and taking it all in. He takes after his Dad. I can't tell you how many times he went to the Neptune Lounge today to get coffee and snacks.
I decided I need to get my shower and get dressed so we could get breakfast. Krista and I had decided to eat in the Pinnacle Grill for breakfast. Just as I got out of the shower I woke Krista up and told her she needed to get ready. It was about 7:30 am by that time. The phone rang and it was Chase again. He wanted to know when we were going to eat breakfast. They had already eaten a lite breakfast in the Neptune but wanted more. Krista and I hurried up and got ready and we all went to the Pinnacle Grill and ate. We had a leisurely breakfast and planned our day.
We went and listened to the presentation on shopping in port. The guy went on and on and it lasted an hour. We were just there for the giveaways. He threw a Del Sol t-shirt in the audience and Chase caught it and gave it to Krista. We didn't win the drawings that were done at the end. There was a suite luncheon at 11:30 am in the Crow's Nest that we went to. They just came around and served us finger foods. It wasn't like the suite luncheons that they usually have but it was enough to hold us over. At 2:00 pm they were having wine tasting. I got an invitation to go free since I am now a 4 star Mariner. I didn't want to go alone so Chase, Lauren and Krista signed up and went with me. It is always interesting to taste the different wines. There was only 1 that I cared anything about. The others were just ok to me.
At 4:00 pm I went to play bingo while Krista napped. There was a group of people that had been on my land tour so I sat with them. None of us won anything but it was fun.
It was formal night tonight so we got all dressed up and went to dinner. Of course the photographers came around and took our pictures and they wanted to know if the 4 of us wanted a picture together. We didn't want one because that meant 2 of us would have to get out of our seats and nobody wanted to do that. The picture they took of us getting on board made me look like I didn't have any bottom teeth. Now when I have my picture taken, I keep my mouth shut so it looks like I have no teeth. Ha!
The Captain had his little Welcome Aboard speech that we went and listened to. We didn't stay for the show. Krista and I went to the Thermal Suite and Chase and Lauren went back to their room. Tomorrow we will be in Glacier Bay. This is where the Park Rangers come on board and narrate what we see. This is always a good day.
