Today we enjoyed a relaxing Sunday at sea. We explored the beautiful Star Princess with it's endless entertainment. The ship has 3 swimming pools, two outdoor and one indoor. Believe it or not, there were a few crazies that swam in the outdoor pool. They didn't last long before jumping in the hot tub. You could watch outdoor movies on the big screen while basking in the hot tub, or while bundled under a blanket with hot chocolate. We chose the latter.
Each night there was live entertainment, from magicians, to plays, to vocalists. We never watched a show in the Princess Theatre, but heard that they were wonderful. We spent a lot of time playing ping pong, reading, and enjoying the indoor pool.
Today Lizzy and I went to a class on skin care. The esthetician chose Lizzy to be her model for the class. She loved the extra pampering. We enjoyed our mini facials, and learned a little about skin care.
In the afternoon we arrived at Hubbard Glacier. Hubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier in North America. Is measures 76 miles long and plunges 1,200 feet into the depths of the bay. It is beautiful, and it's blue hues are enchanting. I learned about glacier calving, which is when ice expels from the glacier and icebergs plunge into the ocean.
You might see a lot of "selflies" during my glacier viewing. I might have got ditched by the kids. I was fascinated with the Glacier, my kids, well, they were more interested in a game of ping pong. They did come out for a moment or two.
Each night we spent dining in the fine dining room. We were assigned to a specific table with 2 other couples. One of the couples was from Bountiful, and the other West Valley. The Bountiful couple seemed familiar to me. I finally remembered meeting Cheryl on the MPJ track late one night as she was walking with a friend. We had struck up on conversation on the track. What a small world.
