Alaskan Cruise 2018 - Day 6

Monday May 28, 2018

Today was yet another sea day. We really didn't do much other than eat & sleep. 

Shelly started with some fruit before ordering her favorite cruise ship breakfast dish, the Eggs Benedict.

Lumberjack Show

Eggs Benedict
Two Poached Eggs and Canadian Bacon on toasted English Muffins topped with Hollandaise Sauce

 I opted to satisfy my carnivore craving...

For lunch, we returned to the main dining room for more tasty vittles...

Mexican Albondigas Soup
beef broth, meatballs, vegetables

Crisp-Fried Calamari
marinara dipping sauce, lemon wedge

Pappardelle Noodles with Chicken Ragout

Meat Tortellini with Veal Jus and Sage Butter

Cherry Trifle
pound cake, vanilla custard, Bing cherries, whipping cream

Double Chocolate Fudge Cake

Well, we did make it to the Lumberjack Show between lunch & dinner. We made sure to catch this show because one of our table mates from dinner was a participant. It was fun watching them all throw the axes. Although, Lumberjack Rob Scheer, gave an interesting talk about his life, it was essentially an infomercial for the show in town the next day. 😃
