A day of cruising and relaxation on the ship 13 Jul 2013 | 04:22 am
Another day without many activities on the boat. I have no idea why they wouldn’t have had the captain’s dinner or the costume party on one of these slow days. From my journal: 10 am – I just keep h...
Easy going day as we head back towards Canada down the Alaskan coast 12 Jul 2013 | 01:04 am
Today there was really not much to do, which I find odd since there were so many activities all the other other days. We crossed back into Canada at 2 and stopped into Prince Rupert around 6pm. The it...
