Good looking explosive detection K-9 and his handler

 

 

I remember that loooong crew gangway to Deck 4 in Seattle. Nice workout hauling bags up there

 

It cleared up a bit later in the PM

 

 

 

For Sunday morning! It was waiting in our cabin 

 

 

 

 

Extremely well-trained, housebroken, dedicated  as well as domesticated husband.........

No Mayo?

Many years ago, before 9/11, I visited Veendam while she was docked  in NYC and was a guest of Ruth C. I had to before screened before even arriving at the dock to get permission. Veendam had just gotten her new aft pool. After our visit, we went up to the top floor of the garage and watched as those dogs were being trained to smell out drugs. Fascinating to watch. Love your digs. Hope you are enjoying.

And, you're missing great Halibut and Chips at the Alaska Fish & Chips Company?   ☹️  But, I understand.  😀  Traditions are important to all of us.  Enjoy your lunch!

We ate lunch at Tracy’s Crab and stuffed ourselves on their Crab legs and rode the tram up atop Mt. Roberts.

 

Today when talking to our great concierge Hector he told us he is the first one to be assigned permanent Neptune Lounge concierge. There will be no more rotation between Front Desk and Neptune. Hector is from Columbia and is a keeper.

I couldn't afford Tracy's but it looked lovely!

Is the ship 50% capacity?  I'm sure one of your crew friends will give you the skinny.

 

Thanks

[woodworker&knitter]

Love Tracy’s, my husband doesn’t care fior any type of seafood. So every time we cruise to Alaska, this is my indulgence

Presently 80% and it may remain at that level for awhile is what we have heard here onboard.

Hope you are having a good cruise.

[kangforpres]

Thanks Aliaschef. I will be on her on the Oct 2 for the canal transit all the way to FLL for 21 days. Just thinking how lovely a half full ship on a 21 day cruise would be.

Father you can count on it. We are very fortunate to have the means to do this and are very Blessed!

Not wanting to steal John’s post. I can’t remember ever seeing the casino as busy as the last two nights. It appeared every slot was being worked. We’re not gamblers so this is just an observation. BB King has been SRO!

El Som' was a favorite when I worked in Juneau 25 yrs ago.   Nice to see it still thriving
