Susan went to go to the Spa Raffle. She said she was not going to go, and I said you always go, so go. I was hungry, and since our La Cucina reservation was after the lifeboat drill at 9pm. I knew I needed to eat something.

After finishing I headed down to deck 11 forward, and waited till the Spa Raffle got over. Guess what?

 

 

She won! $150 in Spa credit. Can we say happy wife, and even happier husband!

 

We went down to Dazzles and watched the end of Majority Rules.

It was time to head out to our Assembly stations for lifeboat drill. We were Assembly Station H.

A few more pictures before heading down to Dinner.

 

 

 

The tent we walked through to get to the ship. Boarding photos were done in the tent.

 

 

We arrived at La Cucina for Dinner. They told us they tried calling us to have us come earlier, but we weren't in the room to answer. The result was an empty La Cucina except for us. Private dining - Sweet! Warning: Food Porn!

Insalata Caprese

The view outside la Cucina as we sailed toward the Gulf of Alaska. All this outside is part of Kenai Fords National Park.

 

 

The photographer came through, and captured our wonderful dinner.

We finished Dinner and then decided it was time to head towards bed. It was a long day, and tomorrow was going to be full as well!

 

End of Day 1

 

-- Note, I am going to stop here for the night and will pick up day 2 tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

Loving the review! You're making me want to start planning my own trip to Alaska.

 

You so should! The Sun and Pearl have great itineraries.

[shadowmeboy]

You're not even on the cruise yet and this might be the best review ever! Thank you so much for posting...Alaska looks fantastic and I can't wait to read about the cruise.

 

I can't take credit for the scenery. I am lucky to get the shots I did!

 

STOP TEASING US!!! Please post more. [emoji3]

I am going as fast as I can! ;)

WOW, Thank you for a wonderful review. I am enjoying every minute of your trip. I love the first glance of your cruise ship. It makes it real. I shared your joy and excitement.

Thank you for posting all the snow caps,glaciers and clouds. I live in Arizona and it was 104 degrees today. I hope you had a chance to stand in one of the icy streams and you share all the details.

I can feel your love of life, each other and the thrill of travel. I hope to meet you on a cruise some day. Keep up your excellent photography!! Next, the ship!

 

Thanks again

Thank you so much! I can't reveal too much, too soon, but there may be a port and water! You'll have to keep reading.

Enjoying your review! Heading out on the Sun two weeks from tomorrow via Vancover. Can't wait! Thanks again for your time.

[nw gardener]

Thank you for this review with all the great photos, I have to wait until next May for my trip on the Sun, and this is great. Have been on the Pearl several times to AK, but not the Sun, so I am finding this very helpful.

[SeahawkSiren]

Thank you for this great review! I am really enjoying all of your photos and commentary. I am also enjoying your positive attitude and sense of humor.

 

Can't wait for my turn on the Sun for 2 weeks in October! And I think I have already gained weight just reading the menus you posted! ;)

 

Thanks again for all your efforts.

Thanks for posting the pictures. Scrolling thru and remember one of the best trips of my life. Did a Northbound Alaska cruise tour last year on the Sun. Beautiful pictures.

[AryMay]

Thank you so much for doing a photo review...I know the effort that it takes! :)

 

We are booked on the Sun for a 14-day Alaskan cruise next year and I was excited to see "my balcony" on one of your exterior shots of the Sun.

 

Looking forward to seeing what all you did in the ports!

[MandyMommyof2]

Seriously one of the best reviews I have read!!! Your pictures are amazing!:)
