September 2019 Alaska cruise Day 2

I return to the room and was greeted by chocolate covered strawberries and canapés.

After a short nap, it was time to walk around, go to Vines and meet my husband in the casino for our pre-dinner meeting.

Live music

It was the formal night dinner, but we were going to Salty Dog pub instead but I got to see them prepare for the champagne fountain of glasses.

Don’t litter.

Then to Vines, wine and sushi.

Meeting with my husband in the casino.

September 2019 Alaska cruise-Day 2 Seaday Breakfast, concert and lunch

A sea day, sleeping in, then off to Breakfast. Another advantage of the suite is breakfast in the crown grill and it includes a mimosa.

Chocolate croissant
Yogurt parfait
Eggs Benedict

After breakfast we went to a presentation about Alaska but no one showed up, so after about 20 minutes we left. I looked at my emails and I had one from work so worked from the room for a little while and then I was off to see Sheryl Crow in concert, on the outdoor movie screen.

Then to lunch. Fried calamari, chicken and trifle.

Trifle

Next, a wine tasting.

September 2019 Alaska Cruise Day 1 Crown Grill

My husband is a smoker and I am not. Smoking venues are limited on most ships. I am a gambler but he is not. Our meet up spot is the casino. We usually meet there and have a pre-dinner drink.

The Crown Grill had an insert on their menu for Alaska and seafood specials.

I had Clams casino and French onion soup and my husband had the shrimp. Also I had another 24K Margarita.

French onion soup

I had surf and turf, my husband had chops and we had baked potatoes and spinach.

Finally I had chocolate peanut butter dessert and baileys and coffee.

As the reservation was kind of late and it had been a long day, we called it a day and went to our room.

End of Day 1.

September 2019 Alaska Cruise-Day 1 Welcome to the drink package and lunch

As a martini drinker, I find the drink package a good deal, I have rarely hit the maximum drinks, but like one cost that is prepaid. On Princess for some reason one of my favorite drinks is the 24 karat gold margarita.

24 K. Margarita

Next was Lunch at the Salty Dog Grill, it was a change from prior lido grill. I thought it was good.
