Sadly this is our last day of the Alaska Cruise, we dock back in Vancouver at 0800 tomorrow (Sunday) morning. It has, as usual, been a glorious day - we have been so lucky with the weather considering the vast amount of rain that falls annually in Alaska. We only had a sprinkling once during the whole week, and that hardly wet the decks.
It has been another full day at sea today. The first half of the day was like yesterday - land only visible in the far distance but around lunchtime we entered the Inside Passage so once again there was lots to look at.

Here are a couple of photos taken of The Norwegian Sun:

In summary, this cruise has been fantastic. It is my first ever cruise and I have always fought shy of them before - all the packing of smart ‘cruise clothes’, dressing for dinner, ‘Dinner at the Captain’s Table’ etc etc. Not my cup of tea at all. But this ‘Freestyle’ form of cruising definitely is - I have been ‘casually’ dressed all week (ie jeans!) to all meals (buffet style), as have most other people on board.
What will I miss most? Definitely being waited on hand and foot by good-looking young men!
The next phase of this tour starts tomorrow evening as we board the 1745 Amtrak train for Seattle, so more when we arrive there (hopefully with free internet!)

HI Judy,
Welcome back from Alaska. It being Memorial Day here, I don't have to go to work, so am taking my breakfast looking through the last week of your trip. Even your photos of Alaska look wonderful. I can only believe it was a truly fantastic experience to be there, and that to be there in 1900, genuinely having to look for gold was probably a quite different proposition.
I will be making arrangements with some of the good looking young men in Maynard to provide you with some wait service for when you arrive.
Bye for now,
Mike.
