The party was very nice. Drinks were flowing and they also served food. I haven't seen food served at these gatherings since before covid. Since we all love to complain about a cutback I think it is important to take a moment to recognize when they bring something back. Thank you carnival. This was also the smallest gathering I've seen for premiere ever. I doubt there were 50 people in the room. I stopped doing these because of how crowded they were plus they are usually more expensive than a casino offer that's not a premiere. At the end they also raffled off some prizes. I did not have my name drawn but I have many drawings throughout the week so fingers crossed.

This part of the excursion was a little cheesy but it was cute and a fun little outing. The people there were dressed in characters from the time period and explained the history of Liarsville and put on a show for us. They also showed us how to pan for gold and gave us the opportunity to go panning. Neither of us did very good but several in the group had success. They also provided marshmallows for roasting over a campfire as well as hot cider. All in all it was a good excursion, just a little expensive. After having some time to explore and check out the gift shop we returned to the ship. Celebrity Eclipse in port with us today.

Continued. Caboose for rent. I love excursions on trains so I was very happy with this excursion. Water was provided but there was no food not even for purchase so pack a snack if you think you may get hungry. The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining and did a great job explaining to us the history of the railroad.

Pictures from the train were a bit tricky. Some had glare issues from taking them through the window. Some I couldn't get because we were on a moving train. I also made sure to take some time to enjoy the scenery through my eyes instead of just the camera. I really enjoyed the beauty surrounding me.

In port with us today was the NCL Jewel. I did not know it at the time, but I have since booked this ship and will be sailing her for 12 days next year. I'm not a big NCL fan, but the itenerary was my motivation. Skagway Walking through downtown while I had some time to kill before my excursion. Nice Aft.

So Alaska....it seems like so long ago now. I've got some downtime, and cell phone reception so Im gonna get some more photos of my time in Alaska posted. Our first port of call was Skagway. I mentioned when I was reviewing Tracy Arm Fjord that there was one other excursion this trip I enjoyed as much. It was not my day in Skagway lol. Skagway was nice, but I feel like the excursion was just a little too long and a bit steep for what it was. Nonetheless, it was still a good excursion and I enjoyed myself. I booked the White Pass Rail, Klondike Highway, and Gold Camp through the ship $189.99.

At the Pharoah's palace for turnaround. Feel like I just did this 😆. Finally got my photos from last night to upload now that I have my own network. Diamond gathering had free flowing drinks and some nibbles. I don't remember what most of these were lol. Some kind of watermelon soup shooter. No idea what this was. Beef tartar. Sushi. Mini seafood sandwich. Arancini
