After being awake for 21 hours straight we had a good nights sleep last night and shook off any jet lag we may have had. Today was spent at sea, travelling north up through the inside passage towards the Queen Charlotte Islands. It is currently 10PM and it is still daylight out side as we pass abeam Prince Rupert B.C. As usual on a cruise, the food is way too tempting, but we are trying to offset the extra calories with some walking, we managed over two miles today and the use of elevators is forbidden, so there is plenty of stair climbing.
We spent the day doing what we do best…. very little. We checked out the whole ship, with it’s various restaurants, bars and other public rooms. We also proved how little we knew at a couple of quiz shows. One fact that surprised me was that there are more Australian passengers on board than Canadians! Tonight was a “formal” dining night, theoretically requiring suits or jackets for men an glitzy stuff for women, although there were quite a few men who got away with just collar and tie. As we had chosen not to bring any “posh” stuff we ate in the buffet lounge, same good food, just had to serve ourselves.
After dinner we headed off to the theatre were the entertainment group puts on a nightly show. So far the two shows we have seen have been pretty good. After that we headed into the casino to watch people lose their money, there did’t seem to bee to many winners!
We lose an hour tonight as we cross over into Alaska time, which puts us 4 hours behind Ontario. We dock at our first port of call, KetchiKan, tomorrow at 06:00.
