Seaday – Cruising Dog Mama

Alaska Cruise Tour September 2023 Majestic Princess Day 7 Seaday

Oh no, the last day of the cruise. I prefer the last day to be a seaday if possible. Today was our only official Seaday of the cruise. I tried to do as much as possible, pack, plan our day in Vancouver and relax and rest a little.

Breakfast, lido time, then spa time. I stopped and got a Dirty Banana at Ocean Terrace to take with me to Deal or No Deal, then lunch at the burger bar with my first and only specialty sundae of the cruise.

It was then casino time, watching the show at Good Spirits, my Apple Blossom was the last drink he made. I had late afternoon coffee then a champagne Cosmo at the Crown Bar. Then had an amazing dinner at Catch. A welcome glass of champagne, fried calamari, surf and turf, chocolate cheesecake and baileys and coffee. Cashed out of the casino and spent a little more time on the Lido deck. Goodbye Princess until next time.

Carnival Mardi Gras Day 7 Sea Day 3. October 2022. Oh no! It’s almost over!

Starting the day with balcony time, then off to the SeaDay brunch for a Peach Bellini Lobster Benedict, Croissant and Chocolate Cake. Afterwards time for the spa.

Had sushi for lunch, then time on the Lido deck and French fries, then time for afternoon cupcake and coffee before getting a massage.

After I got ready for dinner, met my husband at Bar Della Rosa, and had pre-dinner Bellini then we had a great dinner at Rudi’s. Fried Calamari, Lobster Bisque, Stuffed Lobster, Key Lime Pie and Banana Pie, and Chocolate Martini. Then saw part of the World Works Here, before lining up for the Piano Bar and spending time there before late night pizza and BBQ snacks.

Carnival Mardi Gras Day 6, 2nd Sea Day October 2022

Had to do a little work in the morning, but had a great view. Time for coffee and then we went o Emeril’s for breakfast. Had specialty juice, beignets, French toast and shrimp and grits. Afterwards spent some time in the spa.

Next up was time on the Lido deck, Guy’s burger and some drinks at the Fortune Teller and then enjoyed the Backyard Bash at Guy’s BBQ.

We went to the comedy show, had BBQ for dinner and listened to the Band in the BBQ place for a while.

October 2022 Carnival Mardi Gras

Below is a link to our cruise on the Carnival Mardi Gras in October 2022. We stayed in a Havana Cabana.

Carnival Magic Day 6 Sea Day…it’s almost over

The last day and a Seaday, I am usually trying to do as much as possible. In retrospect, there was not much I did not do on this cruise. I had a great time and cannot wait to do another solo cruise.

Seaday brunch with a Bellini and Lobster Benedict and beignets. Spa time, the drinks at Blue Iguana and the final Guy’s burger, afternoon comedy, then the none too subtle towel creation that it is time to leave, then spending time on the balcony just looking at the water.

Then time for Alchemy and Karoke at Red Frog, where someone lost ta bet, before dinner at La Cucina. Amazing Garlic Cheese Bread, Fried Calamari, Veal Marsala, Irish Coffee and Dessert.

The piano bar was the highlight of the cruise and the last night was no exception. It was Cinco de Mayo, so there were some fake mustaches. Maxed out the drink package and was able to say goodbye to the other regulars in the piano bar and of course, Henry the bartender and Ben the piano player. What a great cruise!

September 2019 Alaska cruise Day 2 Dinner at Salty Dog

We had dinner at the Salty Dog pub, which is inside the wheelhouse bar. It may have been one of my favorite restaurants. Casual and low-key.

Breadsticks with cheese fondue, calamari, crab cake, poutine and Ernesto burger.

As good as dinner was my husband liked the donuts the most.

After dinner we went to Crooners for a nightcap before going to the room and getting ready for a long day in Juneau.

End of Day 2.

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.

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.

Then to Vines, wine and sushi.

Meeting with my husband in the casino.

September 2019 Alaska cruise Day 2 Wine Tasting

I went to the wine tasting which lasted a couple of hours. The maitre’d and sommelier discussed the process of making wine and champagne and the wine was paired with certain foods to bring out the elements of each of the wines.

Time for a short nap before dinner.

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.

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.

Next, a wine tasting.
