Live … Ovation of the Seas …Alaska … May 13 - May 20, 2022

We jumped on the monorail.   You can't lose your way.  There is only one stop. 

You are dropped of a few blocks from the Market Place.  Not a bad walk.

We are headed to the Aquarium.   We got there by taking a left at the Market. 

 

  We entered the Market and took an elevator down to PP1.  We could see were we were going before getting in.

 

You walk through the parking floor and you can see the wheel.

We’re booked on the White Pass train tour in Skagway.  Do you, or anyone else, know if the transportation to the train picks up passengers at the pier?  How far is the walk from the ship?

Aquarium

There is a large wall Aquarium when you walk in but most of the rest are small.

 

 

And neat displays showing currents, etc.

[Ozark_Kid]

There was stuff they allowed you to touch.

 

 

There was a Dale Chihuly display. 

[Ozark_Kid]

There was a neat Jellyfish display.

Peachpony - I researched on Google and discovered that the train tour is a 1/2 mile from the cruise terminal.  I guess I’ll double my pain medication and hopefully be able to walk the distance, unless they’ll let me park my scooter at the train station.  Hopefully that’ll be an option.

We saw some Octopus.

Trip Advisor has posts that state if you’re booked through the cruise line let them know you need assistance with your scooter and the train does accommodate the disabled.  Big relief.

Some random pics.

There are also little tram vehicles taking people from ship to end of the dock (and back) where the train meets. No charge, but there’s a tip box. Fits 7 if I remember correctly.

Up at 3:30am.  We are now at the Airport at 4:50am.  So far flights are a go.  Plan to have this all caught up by the end of the day.  2 hour layover in Denver.

No weather issues in Denver today. You should be fine. Safe travels home. Thanks for taking us all along with you this past week.

Thanks OB.  It's been a great trip but I am ready to be home.  I need a day where my longest walk is checking the tomatoes in the garden.

I am glad you enjoyed the adventure with us.

I think you missed the uber/Lyft  joke.

 

If you zoom in you will see why it wasn't our Lyft. 😁

 

 

Yes, it was a Rivian.  It looked nice.  Several electric cars around here.

 

I did miss that one.  Maybe the Rolls owner needs to make a few bucks with Lyft to pay off the car. 🤣

I could watch an octopus for hours.  Such interesting creatures.

This is a neat place to sea the fish all around.

About how much time were you at the aquarium?

September is a great month for Alaska cruising.  Always warm as toast and smooth as glass seas.  Except for the Glacier days which are always chilly!  There people out on the boardwalk in Ketch in shorts/no shirt painting their shops and stuff.  I would always pick that month to cruise north.  On both no rocking hardly any waves at all anywhere.

Bad News for Solstice. Houston woman is lost yesterday after falling overboard.  Just after ya'll left apparently.  So sad!

I loved the aquarium pics. I need to visit there.
