Day 14: Ketchikan to Vancouver

The next day was a full day at sea while we travelled the inside passage down the coast of Canada.  It was a beautiful day at sea and we spent most of it packing, in the spa, or soaking up some sun on deck.


 
The ship's bridge

 
This is a picture of the ship’s “black box”, which is actually orange and strapped to the deck so it will be easier to find if the ship goes down.  I guess that’s part of what they used to convict the captain of the Costa Cortia this past week. 




 
The highlight of my day was when I won the “Clean Sweep” and had my entire bar bill paid for the length of the cruise.  (this is me accepting the prize up on stage).  Unfortunately my bar bill wasn’t the largest of the group, and I did put a fair amount of the tab back on later that night, but after this trip my credit card can use all the relief it can get. 
 
We ended the night, and the cruise, at the disco on top of the ship.  What happens in the disco will stay in the disco, but suffice it to say all 14 of us had a great time welcoming new people into the disco with the new skills obtained from the Great Baldini and getting everyone up on the dance floor.
