On the bus ride back the driver recommended Annabelles for lunch. We walked around the various stores and then went to lunch at Annabelles

We ordered crab dip which we did not get but were not charged for, but did not need especially since we had an early dinner at Cagneys. We each got a crabcake sandwich (mine with cheese). The crabcakes were very good.

Lunch was good, but not cheap.

My husband kept insisting when we got on the ship, I remember this etc. I told his he did not remember it since we had not been on the Pearl before , but that the Jewel was so similar. One thing that was different was the bowling alley. I had gone bowling on the Epic, but he had not. We went bowling and were the only ones in there.

We went to have a drink on the lido deck and it was so warm, some people were sunbathing.

Thanks for posting . Love your dh's t shirt sayings!

We go in May so this is fantastic and you did the spa that answers a lot of questions for me. Great pics!

 

Thanks. He loves his t-shirts. I always get the spa pass, but on certain cruises I think it makes more sense, more sea days or in the case of Alaska where you can't normally use the pool and the hot tubs are not always that hot and not that much room for 3,000 people. Sometimes I would go in the spa at 5 or 6 and be the only person in there.

Oreo Cheesecake

I like the new menu at Cagney's the cheesecake was great and I did not care for the desserts before. The sides are also great, mac and cheese was good but creamed corn was great.

 

Went to late show of What a Night, the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons show. Very entertaining, but none of the other shows interested me, but this one was good.

Oh no, the last day, where did the time go, the day I try to fit in as much as possible and pack.

 

Breakfast at Blue Lagoon, and could hear future cruise talk in atrium at the same time. French Toast with sausage and hash browns

I then went to the final art auction. DH wanted chinese, so we went to noodle and sushi bar for lunch. I checked in for our flights online, and we tried to log in to fantasy football, but had problems, I never had a problem with the wi-fi the rest of the week. Service was very slow in restaurant, we got there at 1 and planned on going to deal or no deal at 2, but we did not finish until 2:15, we had the internet to keep us busy.

 

My dumplings and shrimp tempura sushi

Time for the second martini tasting

 

It was not nearly as well attended as the first one, maybe people were trying to win the free cruise at bingo, DH went and we did not win.

We went to the art gallery, I bid on a mystery during the art auction and won 2 raffles, so we picked our pictures and made the arrangements, then it was time for dinner at my favorite NCL restaurant Le Bistro

French martini. I ordered it and DH ordered it just because, even though he is not a martini person, so after about 10 minutes, I had 2.

Thanks for reading.

What a great review - we did Alaska on the Pearl our second cruise and loved it. Really enjoyed seeing the ship and the scenery again. We have yet to see a bald eagle - and we've done 3 cruises (4 weeks). Haven't had any luck with the whales, either, so count yourself very fortunate that you saw so many.

 

I thought the balance of Alaska pics and pictures of the ships was just right.

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this - I know it takes a lot of time to go through all your pics, upload, and post them for us to enjoy

Thank you for that. We were lucky with the weather and seeing the bald eagles and whales.

 

I like to read people's reviews and sometimes I am looking at the ship, and other times the ports. I can only do reviews the way I do them, I take pictures of the memories we created, and that is of various things, it can be the ports, dinner or bowling or the spa.

I just installed my new printer and have a scanner at home for the first time, but since this was the last Alaska cruise of the season, I did not know if anyone would want to see them or not.

 

I would love to - I'm booked on her first trip of 2015. But I don't want you to go through that effort just for me. Hopefully others will want to see as well :)

The one you can't remember the name of is a Cobalt Blue. It's my absolute favorite NCL drink.
