July 6, 2024 Crystal Serenity
This view greeted us upon opening the drapes…
…and it continued to delight
This is my favorite photo of the day🩵
So many waterfalls
The vista changed as we sailed along
Thank goodness for photos…because I really do not have the words to describe this experience
That’s Dawes glacier in the background…photo credit to Timmy
Surreal is the only way to describe how I felt taking these photos
Timmy looked it up…these bits of ice are called “growlers”.
Crystal provided a lovely Soup and Sandwich Buffet in Palm Court from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm
We did not partake in the buffet, because we had alternate lunch plans…
…those plans involved amazing cuisine and even more amazing wines…
We popped into the Vintage Room a few minutes early to take a few photos
Here’s two of the loveliest folks that we’ve met on Crystal …we met them last November on our Thanksgiving cruise, and ran into them in the elevator the other day. We’d also enjoyed a Vintage Room lunch with them back then. …so it was wonderful to catch up with and enjoy Jiri’s hospitality.
Bill and Nancy were also in attendance …
Janice is among the sweetest, most caring folks you will ever meet …Jiri called her up to acknowledge her contributions to the success of his Vintage room events…
🩵🩵🩵 Please note that Timmy wore the shirt he purchased from “first” Georgia on Burano last fall when we left Symphony in Venice…if you are new to our blog…there’s an entire post devoted to that fun shopping spree🩵🩵🩵 He wore it because our Vintage lunch featured a “Taste of Italian Wine Regions”.
Just some fun at the end of a super meal… ♥️ The person who snapped this, wishes to remain anonymous…we are grateful to them♥️
These photos were taken upon our return to our room …around 3:00 pm
Like a fever dream…
Okay, look at Timmy’s face
Palm Court for the Crystal Society party
So the wine tasting inspired Timmy to engage in a different type of tasting
Folks enjoying the Showband
Crystal Royalty being acknowledged on the occasion her 190 cruise…not a typo…190

Before the fun
During the fun
More fun
Great White party …lots of dancing
Back in our room at 10:28 pm…caught the afterglow.
Thanks for following along 🩵
