Slept in a bit today, and was glad I did.

 

 

Off to breakfast we go!

 

 

 

Tsar's for breakfast.

 

 

Quite empty

After breakfast we headed out to deck 7, to watch the sail in to Hubbard Glacier.

We headed up a deck to deck 8 forward, the crew area on the bow, which they had open.

It cleared up a bit, so you could see a little of the upper glacier.

This was Hubbard in 2016 just as a comparison of how the weather sucked.

 

 

 

 

 

After watching for a bit, we headed up to Spinnaker for how to run a floating hotel.

We got a few mudslides!

After lunch, we finalized our photo package. We went back to the room and started packing.

 

After getting close to getting done packing, Susan went to the Thermal Suite.

 

I headed up to the Casino. I sat down to the Bier Haus machine. I wasn't doing very well, and got down to about a $1.00 left when I hit 55 free spins.

 

 

Video mid bonus spins

 

 

The total at the end.

 

I took my $250 and cashed out. I pocketed $50 and sat down at roulette with 200.00. I played for a while on roulette, but walked away with only $80.00. I decided to go play craps for a while. At almost 7 pm, Susan comes up and asks if I know what time it is. I cashed out with over $550 dollars and we headed up to dinner.

Would you believe that at the latitudes party and after being able to talk the Captain, Claus, Stephen, JC and the staff that Captain Giorgio reminded me of Frankie Valli and the rest were the Four Seasons. We all had a good laugh. And any ice calving is a good calving. You have done a fine job young skywalker. I may have been to Alaska many times, but that trip and being able to meet you(that is not to say I didn't enjoy meeting Susan) and share stories and photos will be a memory I rank very high. Like the time I was able to travel with Budget Queen last year on the Sun, San Francisco to Vancouver.

They know I love the Pineapple, they brought me a plate of it.

 

 

 

Papaya Cream

 

 

Mango Rice pudding

 

After Dinner, we picked up the USB and then finished packing. I headed back to the craps table. I kept winning and eventually left with an additional 800. 1300 total for the day.

 

I went back to the room and crawled into bed. The next day would be an early one.
