July 2, 2024 Vancouver, British Columbia aboard Crystal Serenity

We awoke shortly before 8:00 am to this view of the port.

Another view, starboard side.

10 points if you can guess why I took this photo?

Although we are staying onboard for another cruise, all in transit passengers must exit the ship…so that there is a “zero passenger count”. We walked off around 9:00 am and strolled around for a bit. We also bought some Benadryl …ever since the garden visit, I’ve been so, so, so histaminy…my word for being full of histamine. My eyes were running continuously…the ships Doctor gave me three pills, but I wanted a large box of my own.

We hung out at Canada Place, watching the sea planes take off and land.

I took a video, but I can’t upload it just now…I’ll try later.

Upon returning we had lunch in Marketplace. (Since we’ll be returning to Vancouver, we didn’t feel the need to explore.) Tim had turkey parmigiana and looks like wild rice.

♥️

After lunch I had an acrylic fill and fire and ice pedicure. I’m hoping to squeeze in a massage soon.

The Benadryl knocked me out, so Timmy took these photos during sailaway while I slept.

Lions Gate bridge.

Trio of crème brûlée for Tim, and the whiskey cappuccino for me.

This photo was taken at 10:21 pm by Timmy. We had a terrific day on the ship.

Thanks for following along. 🩵 Oh and don’t forget to scroll back up to the third photo and guess why I took that pic.
