Billboards painted on the side of the hill:

 

 

This is used to clear the snow and ice from the tracks:

This was the view from our cabin, not too scenic

 

 

We have pulled out of Skagway, next stop the Glacier.

We were supposed to go to Tracy Arm, well it is still iced in and the Captain said that we would not be able to get within 5 miles of it, we would be going to Endicott Arm instead. He would be able to get us to within 1.5 miles of the Dawes Glacier here.

 

First view of floating ice in the water:

Had the same issue during our trip the end of May.

Thanks for the review. Your pictures are wonderful! Looking forward to more. Alaska is on my bucket list.

loved seeing what Rhapsody's centrum looked like now after her Royal Advantage upgrade. I think it looks nice without the hanging sculpture she used to have. And it looks like they carpeted over the marble floor in the center where the compass mosaic used to be.

Wonderful trip! I would love to go back to Alaska, but I've got more destinations on my list first.

 

Love the picture of the Red Dog Saloon -- I have the t-shirt (which needs to be replaced) and two of the dogs -- although ours are black!

 

Looking forward to more photos...

The compass is still there. I will see if I have a picture of it.

Could there be a glacier around the next bend?

After the ship made a complete 360 degree turn we stayed for a few minutes before heading out, we spotted several seals/sea lions on the floating ice:

This much smaller boat was heading towards the glacier we just left.

More ice in Endicott's Arm:

Here is a map of where we kinda of went.

After leaving Endicott Arm, we would be at sea until we arrived in Victoria on Thursday morning for a call from 9-6.

Here is that compass that was mentioned earlier.

The shows performed in the Centurm are quite entertaining, here are a few shots:
