Yup, hence why I posted they locked the door and have a sign on it sending pax to the other entrance. Which also has a sign with the posted hours of it being a card/game room on the wall.

Noo...no...you are the good kind of "hog" Dave. 😄

The side room off the MDR on deck four is also a card room...bridge I think. But I have seen them use it for other things around dinner time. I didn't really pay much attention to that one, but it's not set up for dining in there at all when we pass by.

Winds are picking up just a bit now...from the almost calm with only a light swell from this morning. Though at least no where near the bone shaker we had the way down.

Have seen that as well on various Radiance class sisters. For this whole WC 274 days adventure...it is a dedicated card and game room separate from the WJ....as @orville99 stated correctly.

So beautiful there. 🥰

And they did. 🙂

I was going to check the temp in the pool...but the water was sloshing around too much at the steps...and didn't want to get my shoes wet. 😉

Yup, that's it. Very enclosed. They have locked that double glass door from the WJ eating area to that annex with a sign stating to enter from the other side. It's well listed as set up for an enclosed game/card room. You have to enter near the small art gallery and the restrooms. Not an eating area at all.

And sometimes is the reason I spend a lot of time in my cabin reading. 😉

@orville99....as requested....I visited the Solarium. Was it the hot tub you asked about? I stuck my hand in it...to find it barely above warm bath water. Not cold...but certainly not "hot" in the tub.

Loved our visit to Bully Hill...and picked up some good wine as well for our continued journey. 😉

Being very chilly outside, we are not doing our usual...sitting outside of the WJ on the aft. Unless I want to wear my polar gear and deal with gloves on my hands...we have been sitting inside the WJ for lunch. We of course are not alone in this, which puts more diners inside for lunch. We pick up our food, sit, eat, and leave......making sure our table is as clean as possible before we do so. What bothers me are the pax that are camping out at the dining tables inside the WJ...not eating...but playing cards, playing games, on their laptops/devices...etc.. IIMHO...It's OK when not busy, but during noon lunch time...it makes it tough for diners to find an empty table. There is a nice area set aside for cards, game playing, etc. in the annex right next door. Through that glass door of the annex, I noticed less than half the tables in there occupied. So now we have frustrated pax walking around trying to find a table to eat at. Shame. Please people, be considerate during lunch time...and take your games elsewhere. OK...off my soap box now.

The TV system on this ship is quite antiquated. Not interactive, and very limited info. Oh well, it is.... what it is. There is always Google. 😉

Before we became brittle boned seniors...we used to do a lot of snow skiing. On one trip to Whistler/Blackscomb north of Vancouver... we rode the lift with a guide that volunteered his time (to get free lift tickets 😉 ). He asked if we wanted to follow him down the twin mountains. We happily agreed! At one point he stopped and had us look down, while he scraped the snow away to reveal bright baby blue color. Told us we were skiing down a glacier. How cool!!....errr...literally! 😄

Me too....but I think many of my fellow cruisers will keep it going. 🥰

LOL...I have that poster on "ignore" and only see his posts when someone quotes him....so I guess the captain is on his own. 😁😆

He was looking for it...but never saw them list it. 😄 Which is probably a good thing. 🥶

Have done Alaska 5 times. This last time our usual B2B on Radiance was cancelled (Covid) but we still went there, simply replacing the 2 week cruise with a stay in a cabin in Homer, owned by the "Alaska the Last Frontier" gang. We are booked again on Radiance B2B for next year. Indeed, they put the little speed boat in the water and actually chopped the chunk from the Glacier. They did an ice carving with it. Have done the Taku Glacier float plane tour to the Salmon bake several times, and want to do it again. They fly over 5 different glaciers. The Salmon bake is at the foot of the glacier. Beautiful.

Remember when I posted the picture of the little life/speed boat collecting a net full of floating ice slushies in Paradise Bay Antarctica? Apparently this is where it ended up...on the stage...on the pool deck. And is the closest thing Bucky got to stepping foot on an iceberg...actual foot...brrrr... Yes Dave, barefoot...no flip flop. 😆

Current position....pretty much in the middle of nowhere. 😉 And a balmy 39 degrees, but full sunshine! 🌞 The big difference, is though we have a rockin rollin situation again....it's a mild swell. Not the crazy seas we had on the way down. So, at this time, we should make the Falklands on a 2nd try.....perhaps. Weather showing 28 mile an hour winds tomorrow, however. Not sure at what point they can't tender, or how protected our tender area is. In the meantime...welcome to yet another "day at sea".

Very kind of you to say so...thanks!

Thanks! Yes, I will rejoin the posts once again in Barcelona. Though for some reason if this thread has gone "poof" by then (which I don't think it will).... I will restart. 😉

My humble additions to the Elephant Island experience. 😳

OMG...great job John...way better than what I could do! 🙂
