Today is day one of our longest “at sea” segment to date, it will be eleven days to reach Honolulu, Hawaii. It will be very interesting to see how the crowd manages as each day goes by. Funny thing then is that we will have two ports in three days before another five days before we arrive in Seattle. So over the next nineteen days, sixteen will be at sea. I think our longest so far is eight, so this will be interesting for us as well. I believe things will get interesting on October 12th, when we will have our Groundhog Day of having to repeat the 12th, that may be the madness tipping point for some folks. Stay tuned.
To kick this stretch off we had a “dressy” night, Casino Royale night. For us, this happens during our dinner time so unfortunately we miss the kick off festivities. It looks like they were having some draws for prizes as we drifted through on the way to tonight’s entertainment. The real win for us tonight was that we met our Captain up close and had a nice chat with Captain Mark Trembling. We thanked him for his great skill in getting us into some tricky ports.
A few pics of our first day at sea… We are scenic cruising Iwa Jima tomorrow so there may be a post tomorrow as well. Hope you enjoy…

We have Hawaiian ambassadors on board. They perform poolside for an hour at sunset. Nice.
