July 3,2024 Serenity …transiting Seymour Narrows

We woke to clouds, had some coffee and muffins in our room, then I headed to the gym.

Late morning we were captivated by Crystal World Affairs lecturer: General Mark Hertling (ret.). He discussed “Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine”.

As Commander of the Army in Europe he was involved in helping transform the Ukrainian Army. Loved him. Loved his talk.

Asian buffet in Marketplace for lunch


After lunch cappuccinos in the Bistro…Adrian is a master🩵…he even got my glasses 🩵

Some of the wonderful goodies in the Bistro




We also popped by Tastes…if I didn’t photograph the ice cream..it probably didn’t happen…Sami promised not to tell. Sami was on his first contract back in November when we first met him…he continues to blossom 🩵

Late afternoon from our balcony..too cold to sit out.


After a nice rest we headed to the cove…

Timmy had the drink of the day…a Bow Thruster…included Irish Whiskey, Grand Marnier, orange juice and lemon sour …Y i k e s! I stuck with my new usual.

We dined with new friends, Gail and Lou, who are celebrating 30 Crystal cruises. Here’s Rafael with our caviar.


My choice: lobster.

Tim declared his Mushroom Wellington yummy.

Lou and Timmy solving the worlds problems.



New headliners for Icons in Concert…Crystal Garrett…

…and Cole Thomas Johnston

After the show we popped into Avenue Saloon to check out John Barker…we like a livelier vibe…so had one drink and moved on to…

…Pulse Nightclub with DJ Flair …Adam had the joint jumping…so wonderful to see so many folks dancing and having fun.

So there you have our first sea day on this leg…I think we hit up just about every dining and bar venue…it was a terrific day. Thanks for following along🩵
