Alaska Cruise - Day 6

Day 6 of the cruise was spent cruising, on the way to Victoria.

Atrium was about 5 stories tall. There was occasional entertainment in the lobby such as live music, towel folding, or cake decorating. There were always some kind of activities taking place. Probably a good thing since the TV was so lousy. Lesson Learned: Bring DVDs and a player if you want to avoid watching the same movie 5 times.

Windjammer Buffet.

Windjammer Cafe seating area. Sometimes crowded, sometimes not. We really enjoyed the 3-5 pm snack time. Guacamole was pretty good as long as they had descent chips.

Waterfall on the 4th floor elevator lobby.

There was art throughout the ship, some modern, some contemporary, some classical. Mostly themed around music on the Rhapsody of the Seas.

Elevators were even decorated nicely. We never really had to wait too long to get onto an elevator and they were about three times larger than the Disney Wonder.

"Telescope" in one of the lounges.

"Shall We Dance" lounge.

Lounge that has board games.

Latitudes and Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. Not included in the price of the cruise. There were self serve ice cream stations outside the Windjammer cafe and pool side that were soft ice cream. Worked most of the time but not always.

Shopping. Jewelry store, liquor store (also had candy and treats but at least twice the price you could buy things for at port), and gift store.

Shuffleboard. Not curling, but close.

Arcade for the kids.

Pool.

A nice touch: lift to the pool.

Coffee and tea station. Nice surprise to find hot chocolate there as well.

Seating around the pool and pool bar. Our room is almost beneath this area.

Pathway into the Solarium.

Solarium, the covered pool. It was an adults only pool but opened for kids a few hours of the day if the weather was too windy or cold for them to use the outdoor pool.

This was also another formal night at dinner. We also noticed that this was the only night the Captain dined in the dining room. We were at a table right next to his. Nothing like you saw on the Love Boat.

Shrimp salad.

Mixed berry soup. Very good but not as good as the other chilled soups served.

Catch of the day cooked on a cedar plank.

Some kind of Indian dish with spicy noodles and peanut sauce. I tried, I moved on.

Apple-rhubarb crumble with vanilla ice cream

Layered white cake with berry sauce
