Day at sea

Remember my blog yesterday about sailing through the majestic Prince Christian Sound? Well the cruise director today mentioned that we are only the second ship this year that was able to go thru the passage, because the other ships were thwarted passage because of icebergs! We were so lucky because it truly was magnificent!

We had a lovely sea day. Enjoyed breakfast with Lisa and John and then spent the day relaxing in the little comfy niches that are all over the ship, and read our books. We had lunch at the pasta bar, then a drink before dinner, and then we joined Lisa and John for dinner.

The show tonight featured the Saturn vocalists in a tribute to Old Time Rock & Roll singing songs by the Beatles, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, and other iconic groups. It was a fabulous show.

Before the show started, we were on the line to enter the theater, and we got to talking with a couple behind us. They mentioned they lived in Jersey, and when we told them we lived in Bethlehem, PA, they said they just met a couple from that area and they were the former owners of the Josh Early candy stores. Say what now???? Josh Early where we buy all of our delicious chocolates???? We love their candies!!!

And, as luck would have it, when we got into the theater, the couple pointed out the former owners to us and we ran over to introduce ourselves and we told them how much we loved their candies. They have turned the business over to their kids, and I told them how much my grandchildren loved the chocolate crayons they used to sell. Marcie Early (whose father started the company) said she’d talk to her children and she’d ask them to reintroduce the crayons!

Then Barry, her husband, gave me his business card and wrote on it that we were to ask for Alyssa, and she was to give us the big box of candies filled with our choice of candies, the next time we go to the store. Wowser! What a treat! It certainly is a small world.

Tonight, we set our clocks ahead another hour and tomorrow we will be in Isafjordur, Iceland. Just two weeks ago on the Saturn’s previous voyage, they saw the Northern Lights. We hope we will be as lucky!

  1. That-is-so-cool. Josh Early chocolates are the best. And the staff is always so friendly and helpful. 🙂
