Last Full day of Cruise: Tuesday, September 23, 2025

 


Peggy, David and I went to the final Bible Study.  The topic was FORGIVENESS and there was a lot of sharing.  We had planned on going to an event in the Piazza at ten p.m. but because the study went on longer than the regular quitting time, we missed out on that.  So we had a leisurely breakfast in the buffet.

Once we were back in the room, Peggy went to a CREW vs PASSENGERS event in the Piazza.  David is trying to get some extra sleep since he is not quite over his illness or "bug".At some point, they went to the pool and hot tub.

I skipped lunch today since breakfast was kind of late. I think I used that extra time to do some packing.

In the afternoon we went to a singing competition in the Princess Theatre.  It was called THE VOICE OF THE OCEAN:Grand Finale.  Steve, who was our Bible study leader, won!! 


 He was very good!.  

We had dinner at our regular table in the MICHELANGELO.  I slipped Mark a twenty dollar bill as a tip.  They had some sort of ceremony which involved the cooks and servers marching around and banging pots or something to make noise. 


It was kind of fun.

A little later on we went to the Farewell Show . We were given glasses of champagne as we entered the theatre. The show was was very good.   





We decided to "self depart" in the morning meaning we will take all of our luggage down by ourselves.  We spent the rest of the evening packing up.

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

 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 ...

 Church was very good this morning.  After church, Betty, Jan, Maggie and I met up at Laport's for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner.  It was way too much food to eat in one sitting, so I brought most of it home with me.  Their turkey dinner on Sunday when it is one of their specials is a real good deal: only twelve dollars after the senior discount is used.  Our server automatically gave it to all four of us.  I suggested to Betty, Jan and Maggie that we do this every Sunday after church, going to a different restaurant every Sunday.   The 2022 Ladies Retreat was announced in the bulletin this morning.  Unfortunately for me, it starts the day after I plan to return to Lockport after my week in Allegany State Park with Leslie.  EVEN SO, I plan to go.  I could leave ASP one day early.  I will have to think about this more.  I think I will decide to leave ASP one day early so that I can have one full day and part of anoth...

 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 ...
