At Sea, Saturday 20 July 2013

Cruise food report - this is yesterday’s exhausting menu for Graham:

Breakfast in the Neptune Lounge:
Rice Crispies (Bubbles) with milk and sugar
Fruit plate
Apple Muffin
Morning tea from Ketchican cafe:
20oz latte
Blueberry muffin
Lunch in the Lido:
Roast Lamb dinner
Dessert in the Neptune:
Fruit plate
Chocolate slice
Afternoon tea in the Neptune:
Latte
Chocolate slice
Dinner in the dining room:
Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail
Gourmet Greens and Button Mushrooms
Prime Rib of Pork Loin
Pineapple Crisp (crumble) with ice cream

Needless to say, there won’t be any attempt to emulate this menu when we get home!

Ketchican is very pretty and we enjoyed watching sail away from our balcony late afternoon.

We went to a brief performance by Jim and Melissa Brady singing love songs, then Michael Booth conducted the Newlyweds Game with four performer couples. It was absolutely hilarious.

After the concert at 6.00pm which turned into a hymn-singing time of “having church”, we had our final Formal Night dinner last night. We had the Presentation of the Baked Alaska – always fun. We’ve already swapped contact details with our table mates, although we will have early dinner with them this evening before we head onshore in Victoria. God has blessed us richly in connecting us with these new friends. One couple is slightly younger than us and one is slightly older, so it’s been a nice mix. 

We had port and cheese again last night to celebrate our Friday. Then we had to turn our clocks forward one hour to give back the hour we gained earlier in the week.

Today is busy, with a concert/worship service at 8.30 - a wonderful bash with all the singers on stage, singing along with some of the songs. At the final bookstore meet and greet at 10.00 we said goodbye to Ronnie Booth and promised to keep in touch. Shortly we have the suite guests’ farewell reception at 11.30 and then it’s PACKING TIME!
