Day 17, Thursday, August 4



Today is our second and last day at sea as we cruise the Inside Passage.

Our day started with a tour of the theater and the backstage which was interesting. One thing that we learned was that the entertainment staff have an 8-month contract and they are allowed to bring family on the ship for up to 3 months. That’s a huge perk.

After the backstage tour, we went and had morning tea and then we had a private tour of the bridge, which of course was very interesting.

By then it was time for lunch and ate a small lunch in the Oceanview Café.

Alaska’s Inside Passage is a coastal route for ships and boats along a network of passages which weave through the islands on the Pacific Northwest coast.

The Inside Passage stretches 500 miles along the Pacific Ocean and boasts wildlife-filled fjords, tidewater glaciers, and lush island scenery.

Before entering the Passage, we were invited to a cocktail part with members of the senior staff. That was fun talking with them after a great cruise.

The show tonight was

We ate dinner with the couple from Road Island again and it was fun as we had a lot of things about our lives that were in common; however, they did not play in the casino.

After dinner we went to the casino for our last session where Barb broke even and Ed had a nice win and in total we were up for a good total win.

Night from Canada this time and tomorrow we arrive for a couple of days in Vancouver, BC
