Day 15 - At Sea

 I got up at 6:20 and got dressed. I went to breakfast at 7:15 and at 8:15 I went to the library for the crossword but it was not yet available so I returned to the cabin until 9 when I went to get a seat at the Coffee with Jai featuring the Female Officers of the New Statendam. At 10, I went to the future cruises department and booked the 28-day Pan Am 100th Anniversary Legendary cruise on October 30, 2027 which will be Tom Mullens' last cruise as host for Cruise Specialists. I returned to the cabin and read the USA Today. I took several photos as we sailed slowly thru the Arsuk Fjord. I sat on the verandah while my cabin was serviced and when they were done, I found that my laundry was back that I had sent out the night before. Very fast service. Between taking photos, I went back to the library to get the crossword and returned to work on it.  I also read until 3 when I went to the Billboard Onboard for drinks. The bar stools were all taken so had to sit at a table for 2. At 3:45, I returned to the cabin to get ready for the evening. I went to dinner at 5:30. I had a table for 2 by myself upstairs tonight and after dinner, I went back to the cabin to update the blog and read until bedtime. Tomorrow night is the Orange Party at 9pm so I will attempt to stay up a bit later then.
