Crystal Serenity Day 9 - Vancouver

Many thanks to all of you who have been posting comments. We read each of them. John...We will catch up with you when we are back on land.  Patricia...We do love our room accommodations.  Marge, if you try another device or web browser hopefully you will be able to view the menus and reflections.  

We enjoyed another fantastic evening on Crystal Serenity with dinner at Waterside.  It wasn’t white night but we made it a white night  anyway.

Following are the dinner menus from Waterside where we had dinner.

​We met some people who are in the Crystal Society Facebook group page for the very first time. One couple knows another couple who lived across the street from us between 1991 and 2008. What a small and wonderful world.

Food was great as was the service.  Last night’s menu featured two items that use to be served in Prego; Mushroom soup and Carpaccio.  Anne Marie had the soup and Keith had the Carpaccio appetizers.

Some views from earlier in the morning when Keith was running and walking and some photos from the bow of the ship as we were going under the bridge. Before we boarded we could see Serenity from our hotel room as she went under the bridge.

Today was turn-around day as the first cruise ended and the next cruise began.  Although arriving to Canada we all guest traveling on the next cruise (in-transit guests) had to get off the ship so we could get to a zero count (no guests on-board) like you do when arriving to a USA port to end a cruise. This is because while we were docked in Canada the ship is viewed as USA since we will not be returning to Canada.  As such, we had to go through USA customs in Canada. The same process is used when you fly out of Vancouver and clear USA customs in Canada rather than arrival at your first USA airport.

Since today was the start of a new cruise we had our traditional Cobb Salad and with flutes of champagne toasted our love and to the next cruise. The hearts say it all.

Cheers,

​Anne Marie & Keith
