We decided to head to Triton's for lunch. Triton's opened at 12 but we were there closer to 1. We were able to snag a table close to the window. It was beautiful outside! The scenery is amazing!
Before long, a server came to take our drink order and deliver a bread basket. The bread at lunch is usually white rolls but sometimes we would get a wheat roll. I don't remember what we all had for lunch but it was good. I do know I had a caramel sundae for dessert!
After lunch, the guys and I headed off to hear Doug Jones talk about Alaska's bears. Melanie went to take a quick nap. This was the only talk that we heard in person. During the other talks, we usually had something else planned. But we were able to watch them in the room. This was a great talk! Very informative! I learned a lot about bears but still don't want to encounter a bear. I highly recommend at least watching his talks on TV during your cruise.
After listening to Doug Jones, we headed down to Crown and Fin for Movie Quotes Trivia. This would become one of our favorite places to relax. We usually would sit in the big chairs by the port holes so we could watch the scenery. The theming in this bar is so well done! Ryan tried to teach me backgammon. That didn't go so well!
We didn't do as well as we had thought we would do! There were several movies that I hadn't even seen. But it was fun to play!
Here is the text for my report. The link has the post with the pictures. I hope everyone is still enjoying the trip report.

After trivia, we headed back to our room to sit on the balcony. And to order room service! We always ordered a cheese plate and cookies.
We have done several Caribbean cruises and love looking out and seeing just water! On this cruise, we would look out and see land and boats!
Before the cruise, I had bought
The Alaska Cruise Handbook by Joe Upton. This book was great for today. It gave detailed information about the area that we were cruising through. Also, there was some history behind Alaska throughout the book. I highly recommend this book.
After relaxing for a bit, we wondered down to the atrium for the Captain's Reception. We grabbed a couple drinks to take back to our cabins. We decided to skip the show tonight, Golden Mickeys. We have seen it before, and it's not a favorite. We would rather watch the sunset from the balcony.
Before long, it was time to get ready for dinner. It was formal night. We didn't go all out but still enjoyed getting dressed up. After we were ready, we walked back to the atrium for the second Captain's Reception. We grabbed a drink and walked down to Tiana's Place.
