Day 6 Ketchikan Last night after dinner we decided to try again to get some info on the zodiac tour. We lucked out and got a guy who'd done it twice, that in itself is a recommendation. He said it was fantastic so we booked it. The weather forecast was showers and 15C so not too bad. This morning it was cloudy but not too bad. We had some breakfast and went to explore the town. Ketchikan is a fair bit bigger than Skagway but with the usual shops and pubs. As w...

Day 5 cruising Glacier Bay The rangers came on board at 7am for those wanting to got have an early chat to them, we stayed in bed lol I did take a peek out and there were a lot of chunks of ice in the water. About 8am they began broadcasting over the loud speakers bits and pieces about what we were going to see today. We passed a lot of smallish glaciers before we got to Marjory which is huge, 250' tall. The ship stopped here and did a very slow turn. We were...

Day four Skagway We woke about 9am having docked at 7am. From our balcony all we could see was a rock wall with the names of vessels that have at some time called into Skagway.

Once again it was the usual assortment of touristy of...

Day three due to dock Juneau 2pm We woke to a much nicer day, the clouds had lifted and we could see snow and glacier topped mountains. The sun was trying to break through with limited success. Before breakfast we watched some whales a little way off making good time heading south as we continue heading north. It's not too warm so think they're the smarter ones :-) We checked out some other parts of the ship like the observation lounge (snug and warm) and the ...

Day two, all at sea in the inside passage We slept in probably cos we were up til after 3am checking out what was going on from our balcony. The ships lights playing on the foggy sea were cool. It rained while we slept, the balcony was wet but the clouds had lifted a little to reveal the islands we were passing. Breakfast was nearly over but we got in on the tail end. Still a bit lethargic, combo of late night and a few days of stress we went back to our room ...
