Cruise to Alaska Day Two

Day two of our trip was spent cruising from Vancouver to Ketchikan where we would not reach port until early morning of day three.

This time was used to take advantage of what our ship had to offer. I made it to the gym to work out and later Chad and I attended a yoga class. Chad and Clarence played dodge ball and Le and I attended a scrapbooking class. We also participated in trivia at the Schooner Bar. Our on ship entertainment group was awesome. They were a smaller group of about 4-5 but they remembered our names all week and made sure we always had a smile on our faces, they were wonderful.

Dinner that night would be our first formal night and also was our Captain's welcome. We dressed up and had a great night. The food was amazing and the captain spoke, he's Norwegian, and was hilarious.

Many of the ship's guests stayed in the Colony Club after the captain spoke where they held the 'Finish that Lyric' contest. I came in 2nd. Chad and I competed in the first Karaoke Superstar competition. Chad, of course, made it to finals but I did my best Madonna and became known for that around the ship for days to come.

We were becoming quite the popular couple. In fact, I only sang the first night, this night during karaoke and the lyric contest and was recognized off the ship a week later as part of the singing couple. That may be how it works when you are 40-50 years younger than many of the guests, we were probably also the 'young' ones.

They ship offered a show every night, this night was Piano Man where the Royal Caribbean singers, dancers and orchestra performed hits from Billy Joel, Elton John, Barry Manilow and another composer. This was probably the best show they performed all week.

Then it was also 80s night at the dance club so we made an appearance and danced until we couldn't dance anymore. I'm not sure how we were still going after such a full day.
