What to do on a foggy day at sea? Well, how about the thermal spa after breakfast. Then an enlightening live presentation about whales and how changes in the food web have led to their decline, and the work to help them recover.
Buffet lunch on the lido deck, then we ducked into the ship’s library to kill some time before a presentation about the Iditarod. Did you know the Alaskan Husky was in danger of dying out before the Iditarod race brought them into the sport? They’re well cared for and all they wanna do is run.
Whooped after the busy day, we caught a nice nap before our 5:00 “dressy” dinner reservation. It’s tradition on Holland America Lines to wear orange on the formal night. Why orange? It’s inspired by the large, orange-accented celebrations that take place in the Netherlands to honor the royal House of Orange-Nassau.
Btw, we found Johnny’s golden fiddle on deck 7.
