jenseib Posted November 17, 2015 Author #651 Share Posted November 17, 2015 We really were enjoying our views up here on deck 15. endi174 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi175 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi176 by Jenseib, on Flickr A lot of these pictures are ones that Claire took….she did a great job. endi177 by Jenseib, on Flickr This is the excursion boat. They left from Juneau and then would board back on with us in a bit. This was the excursion I had debated on doing. If we ever do this itinerary again I WILL do it. It looked so neat and I have heard so many great things about it. endi133 by Jenseib, on Flickr And then…We spotted them! endi134 by Jenseib, on Flickr One jumped off just as I was taking a picture.

jenseib Posted November 17, 2015 Author #655 Share Posted November 17, 2015 endi186 by Jenseib, on Flickr Someone mentioned that they saw the glacier calving. I had not and was bummed to have missed it. They pointed out it was still going on and I got one shot of it doing so. endi9 by Jenseib, on Flickr It never did it again while we were there that I noticed. Claire was convinced she got a shot but I went through all her pictures and nope…she didn’t. Time for more pictures of us. endi187 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi188 by Jenseib, on Flickr And a pano shot. endi189 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi190 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted November 18, 2015 Author #659 Share Posted November 18, 2015 When we got to a certain point the ship stopped and started making a circle so that all sides of the ship could get different views of the glacier and surrounding area. The Captain did a fantastic job with this. Now we had prime viewing area but for those who stayed on their balconies or just on another deck, this was fabulous to get all the views. He went really slow and I believe he made more than one rotation. endi194 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi196 by Jenseib, on Flickr We decided we wanted to go get some more hot chocolate but when we got downstairs they were just finishing up clearing everything away. In my opinion they should have kept it out the whole time, but we would live without it. endi197 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi198 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi199 by Jenseib, on Flickr We headed back up to continue taking in all the beautiful sights. endi200 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted November 18, 2015 Author #665 Share Posted November 18, 2015 We exited the Haven courtyard area and I took a few pictures down the hallways. endi226 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi227 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi228 by Jenseib, on Flickr And out to the elevators. endi229 by Jenseib, on Flickr The stairs down. endi230 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi231 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We headed to our room to find Skip and he was nowhere to be found. We then began our search for him and I took pictures along the way…some from our balcony and some from deck 7. endi236 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi237 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed a shower before we could go and there just was not enough time. I told her that if we found Skip I would have him take her. Of course I could not find him and she was starting to cry over it. I knew she had been pushing it over the last few days and needed some sleep. Nothing I said would make her happy and she turned into a total crab. The fun girl who had been laughing and joking with me just an hour before up on 14 was gone and a mean little runt took her place. endi243 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted November 18, 2015 Author #668 Share Posted November 18, 2015 endi244 by Jenseib, on Flickr The show tonight was call Luminescence and from what I read was like a Cirque du soleil type show. Honestly these type of shows don’t excite me all that much, but I would have still gone to see it if I had time…but I was not going to go all grubby like I was. We did a lot of searching and I took a shower and we gave up on the show. We went off once again to see if we could find Skip once we felt the show was over. I figured he would come looking for us if he thought we went and we headed out towards the Stardust Theatre, the Casino and deck 7 near where the show exited. endi245 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi246 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi247 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi248 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi249 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted November 18, 2015 Author #669 Share Posted November 18, 2015 And we found him! He went to the show all by himself. He said he kept looking to see if we would show up. Oh no! Well that made more tears for our tired girl and I was now the worst mother in the world and he was the worst father. We are so cruel to make her miss the show. We stood out on deck 7 for a bit and enjoyed the beauty as our little one whined about how horrible we are. endi250 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi251 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi252 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi253 by Jenseib, on Flickr Up next….Dinner!!!!

That I do not know for sure. I never went by a dining room when we boarded since we were taken to Moderno and then with all our issues I never got to explore the ship like I would normally do after eating.

jenseib Posted November 20, 2015 Author #672 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It was now time to head to our dinner reservation. I told Claire that if we got out fast enough then I would take her to the next show. If not we would look for it on TV tonight as they seemed to be running shows on the TV each night. Our reservation was in La Cucina tonight, which is the Italian restaurant. We were seated right away and started in with the bread. cucina1 by Jenseib, on Flickr cucina2 by Jenseib, on Flickr Skip had some sort of cocktail. cucina3 by Jenseib, on Flickr I did a poor job tonight and did not take pictures of the menus. I also can barely remember what we had, so it’s just going to be pictures without much explanation. I noticed the beautiful sky outside and ran to the window to take some shots. endi254 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi255 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted November 20, 2015 Author #673 Share Posted November 20, 2015 We ordered a pizza to share as an appetizer and it was pretty good. cucina4 by Jenseib, on Flickr cucina5 by Jenseib, on Flickr The photographer came around and took out picture too. 807012 by Jenseib, on Flickr As we waiting for our entrees I took some more pictures out the window. endi256 by Jenseib, on Flickr endi257 by Jenseib, on Flickr Service was pretty slow and Claire was already complaining about going to the show. endi258 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted November 20, 2015 Author #674 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Even though we were at an Italian restaurant, Claire still insisted on steak. cucina6 by Jenseib, on Flickr cucina9 by Jenseib, on Flickr If I remember right, I got some sort of Lobster Fettuccini. cucina7 by Jenseib, on Flickr cucina8 by Jenseib, on Flickr It was just ok. I don’t think I would order it again if we ever came back. I don’t think it was bad, it just wasn’t really what I was expecting and I didn’t like the noodles so much. I believe Skip got the Salmon and he said it was excellent. He hasn’t had much salmon in his lifetime…nor have I…and he really took a liking to it this trip and was eating it quite a bit. cucina10 by Jenseib, on Flickr By now we had missed the beginning of the show. I think we ordered dessert, but I have no pictures of it. I guess I was just tired at that point and probably Claire was distracting me with her complaints. Skip of course kept talking about the amazing things in the show, which made the situation even worse with Claire. It seemed to take a long time for our bill to come to be signed. The waiter was nice enough but this place just was not very efficient and it was starting to get on our nerves. We wanted to leave and it seemed to take forever to get out of there. Once we did leave it was way too late to go to the show and we decided to call it a night and see if we could find it on TV. This guy was waiting for us in our room tonight. endi259 by Jenseib, on Flickr Tomorrow we would be arriving in Skagway. Our excursion wasn’t leaving till 10:30 so we decided we would let Claire sleep in today. She had been up early the last 2 days and it was catching up with her. I told Skip that I knew I would still wake up early, so I may head off the ship and then come back in time to make sure they were up and ready to go. We got settled in and tried to find the show on TV with no such luck. I could barely stay awake and handed the remote off to Claire so she could keep channel surfing. She did tell me she never found it. Up next…..Arriving in Skagway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
