I must have slept for most of the flight as time had passed really quickly. I woke up when they were starting to serve breakfast. Graham was awake as well.  It was a funny meal choice as it was lunch time in London. As airline breakfasts go, this was quite edible. We had orange juice and…

We had set the alarm for 7:00, but we were both awake slightly ahead of it going off. We took turns getting showered. Then we packed up the last odds and ends. I got the magnets in and put them in my hand luggage. Then we left our cabin for the final time. We decided to…

 Even though we had not set an alarm, we were awake just before 08:00. We got up and ready. Then we headed to the Windjammer for breakfast. Graham had fruit, yoghurt and oatmeal. I had my usual congee. Be both had some juice and coffee.  After breakfast, Graham wanted to go back to the cabin…

This was our last port day, and one I was rather looking forward to. Our port stop that day was Ketchikan. We had previously visited Ketchikan in 2013 and really enjoyed our time there. Unfortunately, neither of our cruises in 2022 took us there. I was delighted that we would get another chance to visit. We were not due…

I woke up in the middle of the night and realised that I had no idea where our excursion tickets were. They had been propped up against the mirror, but they were no longer there. Going back to sleep was not an option. We usually like our stateroom hosts and the stateroom host that we…

After having to miss Skagway on the way north, we were going to make this port on the way back south. However, we had to tender. This did not fill me with joy as we had an independent excursion booked with a meeting time at 09:30 and tendering can be an unpredictable science. They were…

This was our second stop in Juneau. The weather forecast for this day had been abysmal when I had checked it the previous day and it was every bit as bad as the forecast had suggested. I was very glad that we did not have any plans after we gave up on the idea of…

This was our third day of glacier viewing in a row. It was back to Hubbard Glacier for us, but this time we would not get to the glacier until the afternoon. We had not set an alarm, but we were awake just before 8. We got up and ready and then headed to the…

Just like this, the first half of our back-to-back cruise was over. We had set our alarm for 06:30. We got up and ready. Then we headed down to guest services to check in for the second cruise. Officially we were able to check in as of 07:00, but we got there a little earlier.…

Just like this, the first cruise was almost at an end. This was our glacier viewing day. The glacier on this cruise was Hubbard Glacier, which was new to us.  There was some speculation that we would not be able to get close to the glacier due to fog and ice near the glacier. In…
