Day two - At Sea

I enjoy sea days.  We sailed on the west coast of Vancouver Island.  The seas were calm but we had marine fog.  There is always lots to do on a sea day.  We went to the Enrichment Presentation:  The Life of a Bering Sea Crab Fisherman.  His name was Steve but I can't remember his last name.  He was featured on The Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel.  I didn't watch the series but his stories were fascinating,  Then the Naturalist had a presentation:  Alaska the last frontier.  It was very informative.  

After a delicious lunch in the dining room we did the long awaited "Deal or No Deal".  I've heard how everyone loves it and it didn't disappoint.  You purchase one card for $20.00 or 3 for $50.00.  They select two people to play and the audience plays along for prizes.  When the contestant picks a suitcase, you open the same one on your card and if you match two or more, you get a prize.  It's a good cash grab for Princess but they have a lot of money to recover and I didn't mind.  They let under age people play and Lexie was so excited!

This is the card you buy, the numbers open up and if you match the contestant you can win a prize

This is the contestants board and it's played in the theatre.

This is the final results, and Lexie was one of the 17 people who won a bingo card
I won a $5 scratch.  Cec was "on his way".
Lexie was hoping for the free cruise!  Maybe next time.

We are going back on the next sea day when they have the next game!

At noon they announced we will not be able to dock in Skagway.  It wasn't a surprise as the rock slide last Thursday did a lot of damage.  I wondered why I hadn't received my Skagway shore excursion tickets.  So we are spending 12 hours at Icy Strait Point.  If you saw my May blog, I really enjoy this port.  

Last night was the first Formal Night.  We opted to eat at Sabatini's the Italian specialty restaurant.  We've eaten here before and it didn't disappoint.  After dinner we attended the production show:  Spotlight Bar.  This is a new production and the costumes and voices were excellent.   After the show we saw the Yes/No game.  Always fun.  Great way to end a lovely day.
