DAY FOUR of Alaska Cruise Trip) Sunday, September 14th 2025 DAY TWO ON THE RUBY PRINCESS (first full day) It was a SEA DAY!!!!

 



I slept pretty good.  The ship seems to be doing a LOT of swaying.  We went to the INTERDENOMINAIONAL CHURCH SERVICE in the Explorers Lounge (CHURCH SERVICE IN A BAR!!) 

It was short but very good.  And then we had breakfast at the buffet which is called HORIZON COURT.   We returned to our room and there was a letter for me saying I needed to update my credit card information.  Peg went with me to GUEST SERVICES and I got that taken care of..  I was able to get my PRINCESS APP on my phone straightened out, too.  We went to a craft class where we made an item. Peggy must have asked someone to take this picture of the three of us.  

We had lunch at the BOTTCELLI.  I had a Monte Cristo sandwich, but it was not really all that good.  I had a chocolate item for desert, but only ate a small amount because I was concerned about dairy.  After lunch we went to the ART AUCTION.  We each had a small glass of champagne. I took a couple of sips of mine, but did not like it.  


We did not stay for the entire auction, just long enough to get a feel for it. 

Sometimes between lunch and supper, both Peg and David took some of the seasickness pills that I had brought.  I put a patch on.  Supper was at the MICHELANGELO.  I chose a fish dish, I think halibut, and I had bananas Foster for desert.

Peggy purchased a jacket.  There was a "watch" event that we thought might be interesting, but David was feeling queasy, so we returned to our room.  I put FOXNEWS on my TV and stretched out on my bed (which was  back to being a couch) and I fell asleep for a bit. 

 We had supper at the Michaelangelo.  I had some kind of fish and vegan ice cream for desert as well as Bananas Foster.  We went to the PRINCESS THEATRE for the 7:30 show:  STARDUST, which we all enjoyed. 


Peg and David went to a couple of night life events, but I chose not to.  I stayed in the cabin/room and I showered and washed my hair.  

It was a GREAT first Sea Day.  Peggy wants to EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING and basically  she runs from one event to another.  I am a bit more relaxed about this, maybe because this is my second cruise (it is her first).

DAY EIGHT of Alaskan Cruise: Thursday, September 18, 2025 Skagway

Image
 This was what I saw out the window when I got up. The RUBY PRINCESS had stopped and we were in Skagway!  We had breakfast at the Botticelli (I had a soft boiled egg, toast, oatmeal and a banana) and then we returned to our room to get ready for getting off the ship and going to Skagway.  We got tickets for Shuttle #10 and went down to wait to be called.  Things moved along fairly quickly. The shuttle boat was one of the lifeboats, it took us to the mainland.  This is a view of the RUBY PRINCESS from the port.   When we arrived we took a shuttle to the downtown area where we walked around a bit. The downtown area has a lot of interesting shops, etc. but we did not have time to go in many of them.  Here are a few pictures:    We found a geocaches in the library (hooray). And you can see it in this picture that I took.   We picked up a few free items from various jewelry stores.  There were a lot of jewelry stores, and we did ...

 I had the oil changed on my car this morning.  I talked with Elaine and Betty on the phone, also.   I decided it would be a good day to stock up on groceries and other items since Thanksgiving is next week and the stores will be full of people.  Also, from watching the news, I think maybe there will be another STAY AT HOME order coming soon due to the rising number of COVID cases in this area.   First I went to Aldi's where I spent close to one hundred dollars on all sorts of items including some frozen vegetables, a piece of salmon, ground beef, canned vegetables, etc.  I took those groceries home so I could get the frozen stuff into the freezer.  I made myself  a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.  I have so much food, paper items and cleaning items that it was hard to find spots to put everything.  I still have two hundred dollars worth of SNAP benefits available.   I rested, read and watched TV the rest ...

 I got a call from Kevin K. at Northwest Bank at nine a.m. asking if I could come in and sign one more paper regarding my new SYMMETRA account.  I agreed to be at the bank at 9:45.   After that, I went to FREEDOM CHURCH for the Ladies Life Group.   Their were nine of us there and it went well.  Then five of us went out to lunch at THE OLIVE LEAF. During lunch I asked Elaine if we might be able to start up some fun things to do together on Tuesdays after Life Group.  We had started doing that a few years ago, but it never really stuck.  Elaine was very enthused about this idea.   When I got home, there was a call from the estate lawyer asking me to come in to the office and sign some forms regarding the Principal account at Key Bank.  I called and agreed to go in tomorrow morning. I tried to reach Christa by phone since I know she took today off as a "mental health day".  She did not answer, so I left a message.  She p...
