The next two days were spent cruising Glacier Bay and the College Fjords. We saw some spectacular glaciers that towered 50+ feet above the water. We were even lucky enough to see some calving. Princess had specialists from the National Park Service on board giving us a guided tour through the bay. It was strange to see large chunks of ice float by as we ate a gourmet dinner in the International Dining Rm. We also delighted in seeing some blue skies.
The highlight of our ship activities was winning a trophy at the “Ballroom Blitz” dance competition. We continue to have outstanding food, entertainment and plenty of choices for places to dance each night.
Today we are swapping 800+ passengers in Whittier. Some did just the 7 day Alaska cruise and others are joining us to sail either to Beijing or Singapore. The next six days will be out-to-sea transiting to Asia including crossing the International Date Line where we lose a day. I will probably not be making another posting until we arrive in Japan.
