Alaskan cruise - day 3 (Sunday, June 6)

We hit the open ocean at 1:00 a.m. and the ship was still rocking when I woke up the first time - 5:30 a.m. Ugh!! I had taken a pill for motion sickness the night before but when I woke up again at 7:30 a.m. I knew I needed more. Robert got ready for breakfast but I didn't think I could make it. Robert has no patience where motion sickness is concerned. He thinks it is all in my head and frankly - I don't understand why some people get it and others don't. When I finally threw my hair up in a ponytail (after trying for 2 hours to get ready) and went to try to eat breakfast there were people who looked like I felt and others who were just as chipper as Robert. I just don't get it. I took about 4 tiny bites of scrambled eggs and knew I had to get back to that bed!! Robert went to a couple of informational meetings and I took another pill and laid down. I slept for 4 hours and when I woke up I felt much better. We ate lunch and then sat on the Lido Deck and watched people and the scenery. It was beautiful. After a while we went back to the room for a nap and afterwards I felt like I just might survive after all!!

That evening we to dinner. It was formal night at the La Fontaine. Doesn't he look happy??!! Robert wouldn't cooperate or didn't think I was really goig to take a picture.






The food was really good. For dessert I got this cute little fruit swan. It was a pastry filled with chocolate mousse and garnished with strawberries. Yum!!



At 10 we went to the evening show. The singers performed some Broadway hits. They had all previously performed on Broadway and they were a very talented group. Yes - we went at 10 p.m. and the sun was still shining. We got to our room about 11:15 p.m. and the sun was still shining!! When we got back to our room, this little guy was waiting for us!! So cute!!
