The second day of our vacation in the north,  again we walked and walked and jumped through all kinds of hoops.  Again I have to say the Canadians herding thousands of us were very polite and gentle.   I have had much ruder treatment going through U.S. Navy's check-ins and also Six-flags, for that matter.

The final stop was the ship ISLAND PRINCESS.

Our suite

In the Navy the people carried away with themselves call this the "The Head"

We found our room with a balcony.  It was roomy and decorated nicely.  Then, happy with our accommodations we explored the ship with eating as a priority.  We heard you could go to the chow hall, aka dinning as many times as you wanted.  But the food wasn't home cooked, which is a good thing.  We didn't stuff ourselves.

This is the Atrim.  If it was your home it would be the living room.  If it was a Navy ship it would be the Quarter Deck.  It is where all the niceties are, the finer restaurants, the expensive stores, nice lounges; just like 5th Avenue after the glaciers melt: surrounded by water.

Speaking of the finer restaurants, Tuesday night was Formal Night.  I don't dress up very often and didn't.  The hostess was aghast.  She hinted we were not appropriately dressed and seemed put out.

The next night she almost went through the same thing.  Either that night or the following night we asked her her name.  She seemed shocked but told us her name.  She was butter melt kind to us since then.

I won't tell you her name but it was very similar to PoPo Porn.   Really.  I almost said, "I don't want your stage name, just your real name!"

Also in the area of the Atrim is the theater.  The ship's singers put on three or four lively shows full of rock and roll. they all sounded  great!

So long Vancouver! 

This boat is probably delivering the area's pilot.  I did not know it, but by law, in each area they  have to hire a local pilot to steer through the waters.  They know it well. 

It also reminded me that Mark Twain was a river pilot on the Mississippi River, which Samuel probably did the same thing as above.

It you are not bored yet check again in a day or two and hopefully I'll have another installment up.
