Todays scenic cruising was described by the Cruise and Travel Director as some of the best scenic cruising anywhere in the world.  We were scheduled to start at 7 am and finish up around 3 pm.  

At 7 am we were in a thick fog.  I took a picture and was ready to start working on my blog post as it looked like our scenic cruising was going to be a big bust.  

A few minutes past 7 am, like magic, the fog lifted, and the Greenland coastline appeared along with a few icebergs.  

It would have been a nice day even if the cloud cover remained.  Thirty minutes later, the clouds started to break up and within an hour, we were enjoying a bright sun with blue skies.  

The bow on Deck 5 was opened and the beverage department set up a drink station serving coffee and mixed drinks.  

The bow was crowded, with the railing filled, but it was easy to move around unless you were determined to be right up against the railing.  Winds were light and the temperature was in the 40’s, a jacket was needed.  A few people ventured out in shorts and T-shirts nevertheless.  

I spent the morning wandering around the various viewing points.  The SeaView pool was almost empty but offered a nice view in a more protected environment along with chairs and a covered area.  A bar was also set up there serving coffee and alcohol.  

The jogging track was popular and was filled along the railing for most of the day.  

I walked around the ship on Deck 3 a few times.  There weren’t very many people here, but the views were limited in many places by tenders, lifeboats and other equipment.  

We have a verandah on Deck 7, and that was nice for most of the day.   Occasionally there was something on the other side of the ship that was interesting, but they had a nice commentary going on the TV and they would announce coming attractions in time to get up to the SeaView pool and observe.  

At 11 am Dutch Pea Soup stations were set up on the bow and the SeaView pool.  The waiters served the hot soup from large metal trays into the standard white porcelain Lido Coffee cups.  

In the early afternoon, we had lunch by the NY Deli.  They served Gluhwein hot wine drinks from the Lido Bar starting around 1 pm.  

Here are some photos of the highlights of our Prince Christian Sound scenic cruising

We left the sound around 3 pm and continued on toward the Denmark Strait.

There wasn’t any live entertainment this evening.  The movie, Family Squares, was shown in the World Stage for a single showing at 8:30 pm.  The room was about 80% full.
