DAY 17 - CRUSING

Today's Daily Reflection Program followed by last evening's Waterside Dinner Menu, Vegetarian Menu and Connoisseur wine lists which are those available for purchase. 

Before dinner we enjoyed a pre-dinner drink in our room followed  by a lovely dinner  which Frederick organized for us.  Dinner  came from three venues; Waterside, Umi Uma &  Silk

​

We enjoyed lovely views of the ocean and the sky as  we had dinner.

We slept well last evening between the rocking of the ship  and the wine.  LOL.

Today's Reflections.

Today is our final  full day on-board Serenity and a sea day.   It began as any normal day with just one minor change.  When Keith arrived to the Fitness Center someone was already working out on one of the elliptical machines and Keith wants to avoid working out indoors while others are also working out.  Instead he warmed up by walking up and down the indoors steps of the ship from Deck 12 to Deck 5 and after doing this for awhile he went out and ran outside on the Promenade Deck.  With the ships lights off at the Bow of the ship each time we got near the bow he turned around and ran the other way and got in close to an hour run.  He didn't have his Apple AirPods with him but time went by fast as he thought about all of the fun we have had on this adventure.

Afterwards, we enjoyed breakfast in our room.   The two  of us walked on the Promenade Deck. The other difference to our regular morning routine is we had Rapid  Antigen Test which is required by the USA for entry.  The highlight of our day.  LOL. We tested negative and printed out the results to show for check in with the airline.

Photos taken 30 minutes before breakfast from our verandah.   

The following includes some photos followed by a video Keith took from the bow (front) of a guest deck where we  mentioned one could enjoy wonderful views when the ship is arriving to various ports around the world, transiting canals, viewing glaciers and other beautiful scenery.  Also we've included some photos taken in Palm Court which is a special indoor venue where you can get panoramic views while cruising or in port or while Serenity is anchored. We've also included a few photos taken from our verandah.

Keith played Paddle tennis with several people and after  a few of them left Keith played with friends Ashley and Kelly along with fellow guest Ivan who has played with us along with the other regulars.

The afternoon included Paddle Tennis for Keith after we had lunch and a walk for Anne Marie.   It's been a great cruise.  More tomorrow.

Cheers,

Anne Marie and Keith
