Heading to Alaska

Today we woke up around 6:45 and we packed to get ready to leave on the Princess Discovery.

We had breakfast again downstairs at the market. We also had some cherries that Don and his mom had brought back from when they visited with family yesterday. They also brought back some cheesecake, so we all worked on finishing that.

Then we made our way to the port. We had to take 3 different ubers. Getting through security was not too bad. Once inside we went to deck 5 to get some sandwiches. Then we went up to deck 17 so Lucas could check out the kid’s club. After that we met up with Estelle and found our muster stations.

Finally, around 2 we made it to the pool. The pool was nice and warm. It wasn’t crowded at all. My parents met up with us and then Kelsey for a bit. Then we came back to our balcony to see the ship take off. Lucas put on a movie and relaxed.

Before dinner Don met with his mom and Lucas and I hung out. We got ice cream cones and put magnets on our doors. We wanted to surprise our family with the Alaska themed magnets I got for everyone.

We ate dinner in the Juneau Dining Room. Lucas had chicken noodle soup, Mac and cheese and fries. Don had French onion soup and salmon. I had potato soup and cod. For dessert, most of us had cheesecake. Lucas had Baked Alaska.

After dinner we went with Estelle to the comedy/magic show. It was OK. After the show we got in an elevator with just one other man and Lucas said “this elevator is nice, it’s not busy at all, usually I am just stuck in the corner” 😂

Then we came back to the room, and we saw at least one whale /orca from our balcony! It was so beautiful outside. The views are already incredible on this cruise.
