She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 15
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…

She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 14
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.…

She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 13
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…

She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 12
After the initial disappointment of not being able to play with husky puppies, I was actually quite excited about getting the chance to explore Haines. However, the weather forecast was abysmal. We decided to play things by ear. We were in no rush that morning as due to the tide we had to tender for…

She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 11
We were awake bright and early again. Once we were up and ready, we went to the Windjammer for some breakfast. Graham had fruit followed by oatmeal and I had congee and sausages. We both had apple juice and some coffee. After breakfast, we quickly headed back to the cabin to pick up what we…

She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 10
That day we were headed for what had become my favourite Alaskan port in 2022, Icy Strait Point. We had a nice long day there this time with a port arrival time on 08:00 and all aboard at 19:30. We would be back again on the second leg of our adventure, and we had planned…

She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 9
We were awake at 06:30 and got up and ready. As soon as we were ready, we headed up to the Windjammer for some breakfast. It was grey and dreary, but it was dry. I took some photos of the beautiful scenery and I finally got around to take a photo of the totem pole.…

She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 8
When we woke up, we had no idea what the time was. That is part of the reason why I really love interior cabin. Once your door is closed, you are really completely removed from everything. I never sleep quite as well as I do when I cruise in an interior cabin. When I checked…

She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 7
As much as I had enjoyed our stay in Vancouver, I was glad that it was time to meet our newest ship. I had set the alarm for 08:00 just in case, but we were wide awake at 07:00. We took turns getting showered. Then we finished our little filled sponge cakes, and I finished…

She Wants To Be A Ship When She Grows Up – Day 6
Even though I had slept in stops and starts, I was awake at 6:00. I checked on how Radiance was doing. She had made good progress since I had last checked. Not only was she back in Canadian waters, but Victoria was already on the tracking map. The captain had definitely the pedal to the metal during the…
