Today was our first sea day. No rush. Breakfast in the "secret room"; a small lounge reserved for Celebrity Elite members. It was peaceful and quiet.
After breakfast we stayed for the Cruise Critic meet and greet function. We met some very nice people from near Sacramento in California.
We attended a fascinating talk by the ship's naturalist, Milos. He discussed Alaska's widlife with pictures. He also discussed how the world had formed since the dinosaurs had roamed the plains.
I managed to get my time in the gym before our butler brought us tea and canapes to the stateroom. It is always interesting to explain to him what we need and our likes and dislikes. It will be interesting to see if he gets it right the second time.
While we were relaxing in the afternoon, we passed very close to the shore along Alaska's Inside Passage. We saw two Killer Whales, the largest members of the dolphin family. We also saw a bald eagle in flight. It was a beautiful part of the cruise.
After dressing for formal evening, we returned to Michael's Club, the "secret room" for a drink before dinner. Ingrid had a Michaelangelo, a cocktail with champagne, mango and other drinks, while I had a diet Cuba Libre, rum and coke.
Dinner was delicious, as it always seems to be on Celebrity. The Sea Bass was prepared properly. I also had Chateaubriand.
After dinner, we went to the show, which was a dancing and singing production. This one was not our scene, although I am sure the other guests enjoyed it. An early night before Ketchikan tomorrow.
