Notes for Seattle, Washington
- Very smooth embarkation
- No one asked or questioned about pregnancy
- Donald drove Taylor and Tasha to the pier
- Main dining in Cyprus for dinner
- Sat next to a very chatty pair of gentlemen from Tennessee
- Worried that the remaining dinners would be like this
- Found out that main dining had a dress code requiring long pants
- Taylor did not pack any long pants
Notes for Cruising
- Had sit-down breakfast in Cosmopolitan
- Service was very slow to the point where we had to ask if our order was forgotten
- Bought cruise ship model and ornament
- Found a good spot on Deck 4 to play games
- Both Taylor and Tasha used their $5 promotional credit at the casino and subsequently lost it all
- Taylor and Tasha both went to see the show after dinner
- Magician was Jessica Jane
- Did an upside down straightjacket escape which was neat to see
Notes for Ketchikan, Alaska
- Able to have an easy morning since the shore excursion was at 11:45am
- Gorgeous weather with the sun shining
- Ketchikan normally gets rain 265 days of the year so the good weather was rare
- Rode a Duck Tour of Ketchikan
- Saw several bald eagles
- Drove past historic downtown
- Shared a stuffed pretzel for lunch
- Did a bit of shopping
- Tasha bought an original watercolor from a local artist Kana Yamasaki
- Taylor finally found and bought his Benchmade Infidel knife
- Taylor found pants that he would use for the remaining dinners on the cruise
- Taylor went to see the show while Tasha stayed back and read in the cabin
- Comedian Monique Marvez
Notes for Endicott Arm (Fjord), Alaska & Juneau, Alaska
- Woke up early at 5:00am to watch the trip down Endicott Arm from our Infinite Veranda
- Room service was lacking
- Ended up having enough time to go to sit-down breakfast
- Arrived at the Dawes Glacier with a clear view
- Captain said we were less than one mile from the glacier which was the closest a Celebrity ship had been in the last five years
- Arrived in Juneau at 1:30pm
- Got off the ship and walked around town
- Stepped into a few shops including the Merchant's Wharf
- Facetimed with NiNi, Grandaddy, and Jackson while on the pier
- Instead of a shore excursion in Juneau, Taylor and Tasha enjoyed a 'Dining on the Edge' specialty dinner on the Edge's Flying Carpet
- Taylor got free champagne, a specialty coffee (Captain's Club perk), and the surf and turf
- Tasha just got the turf (filet mignon)
- Taylor stayed up to 10:15pm to be able to go see the 18+ comedy show
- Comedian Monique Marvez
Notes for Skagway, Alaska & Inside Passage, Alaska
- Another easy morning since the shore excursion was not until 12:45pm
- Shore excursion was a salmon bake at Liarsville
- Food was delicious, Taylor went back for thirds
- Taylor got his Alaskan Amber beer
- Tasha found the salmon glaze in the gift shop
- Watched the show put on by the staff
- Upon shuttling back into town, the bus driver had mistakenly driven to the wrong pier
- A series of paid shuttles and a bit of stressful maneuvering got Taylor and Tasha back to the Edge
- Buffet dinner to be able to see the 7:00pm show
- Stephen Barry was a comedic singer and was fantastic
- He effortlessly came off stage while singing and would steal shoes and items from the audience
- Agreed to see his second matinee show later
Notes for Cruising
- Saw a behind the scenes presentation given by the captain
- Shared some history of the ship's construction
- Explained what is required to become a cruise ship captain

- Tasha finally won a game of Patchwork
- Taylor and Tasha had dinner main dining and was able to finish in time to see the evening show
- Ship's production of Kaleidoscope
- Twice the show stopped midway through at the same point due to malfunctioning set
Notes for Victoria, British Columbia
- Opted to not get off the ship since we arrived at Victoria late at 5:30pm
- Saw the matinee show at 1:30pm
- Stephen Barry performed once again
- Word had gotten around the ship that he was amazing, so the theater was packed
- He had some references and callbacks to the previous show which was fun
- Had one last main dining dinner in Tuscan
- Servers Kholo and Dennis were best wait staff on the entire cruise and were tipped separately
