July 13th, Part 4
Let's start this chapter off with a cute photo that Kira took earlier in the day.
And then more beautiful ice as we leave the Arm...
I wanted to stay longer, I don't think we were quite out of the Arm just yet but it was now dinner time at Triton's...
This was the one menu I was really looking forward to since it was brand new to all of us. This dark rye bread/cracker was quite delicious with butter on it!
This was our view from our table.
And this my view of my awesome family!
I love me some pea soup so I got that as an appetizer. It was okay.
Rob got this and only liked the stuff in the little bowls.
He also got the carrot soup which he did not love but I ended up loving it and finishing it for him! It's funny because he LOVES carrots and I hate them, so the fact that he didn't care for the carrot soup and I wanted to lick the bowl, was downright weird.
Kira ordered the lobster ravioli and didn't really eat it. She said it was gross.
Same with Rob's salmon.
He did like his chicken though.
My beef was terrible! A little overcooked and it kind of tasted bad. Like the meat was bad.
Even the potatoes were barely edible and if you know anything about me it's my love for just about any potato. I used to say "I never met a potato that I didn't like" but this cruise definitely has changed that.
I think I took a few bites and that was it for me. At this point, I started feeling really off. My face went bright red, which is the first indication of my Lupus flaring up. Sometimes I will go from 60 to 0 in less than a minute and this was one of those times. It's kind of hard to explain, my face feels like it's on fire and then I lose all of my energy at once, my heart beats really fast, I often get an instant headache, feels like I will pass out if I don't cool down. Rob noticed my face, took a photo and then I headed back to the room.
I went out on the verandah. Boy, it sure was nice to be able to cool down just by stepping out there. It took about an hour to feel better and I enjoyed the scenery while I was doing so.
Rob and Kira finished their dinners and then ordered and ate dessert.
Zaldy and Luis were concerned for me, Rob explained to them that it happens often, nothing to worry about, I just needed to get out of there ASAP. Rob managed to get a mask-free photo of them with Kira that night. So nice of them to do that!
Then they spotted a Princess ship as they were leaving the restaurant.
And then Kira showed Rob something she had been stalking for awhile. She knows not to ask her mum about stuffies. If you know, you know.
By this time, the Freezing the Night Away show had started. I was able to get a half-decent spot up on deck 10, and I messaged Rob to come meet me when he was done. Kira headed to Vibe and Rob came to find me.
I would say, unless you've got a big Frozen fan in your party, you can skip it. Many people were really cold, it was pretty windy.
We walked past my pool to see how busy it was.
Back to the room we went, where we found the cutest bear towel animal!
And beautiful scenery from our verandah. I stayed out there a bit until I felt a bit better. It was kind of a catch-22 thing, I didn't want to go to the pool until I felt better but I knew going to the pool would help me feel better.
With only about 45 minutes of pool time left, I managed to get my butt up there. This night was the coldest the pool had been so far. It doesn't bother me as long as there's room in a hot tub for me to warm up a little and there was plenty of room that night. Sadly, 40 minutes later, Suka shut it down for the night. The water that night was as cold, if not colder, than any other pool night I've ever had on the Wonder. I spoke to Suka about it, he said sometimes they have problems with the heater. I asked him who was in charge of the temperature of the pool and he pointed to another guy in a yellow jumpsuit. I told him that he needed to crank that sucker up, I was the only one brave enough to go in the pool that night. People tried...and failed. I mean, if it's too cold for me, you know there's a problem.
I showered and then spent a little time on the verandah and then we went to sleep. Kira was back around 12:30am. As much as we missed seeing her, it was really nice knowing that she was having a great cruise.
Tomorrow is our first port, Skagway!
