July 16th- Alaska Cruise

Ok, this was a down day… we had a long cruise ahead… and that is all we did, through the inside passage… Actually we had been cruising the Alaska Inside passage the whole week and this last day we cruised between the mainland and Vancouver Island..

Not a lot to do but the ship had a series of things in the theater and other places but mostly they wanted people to hit the casino and shops one last time… advertised big sales… but we missed all that… I worked on the daily updates and pictures and sat on the outside deck when I could… did get to see some whales in the “narrows” but too slow for pictures as we were m moving pretty fast and so were they … saw some dolphins following the ship as well for a ways… again… too slow for pictures of that.

This was when we were seeing the whales… also note… the two black birds to lower left… Eagles and all the other are seagulls… good sign is the seagulls as they are all chasing the fish…

Ok, in that wake were the dolphins but … yep… too slow… almost the same time were seeing the whales and eagles.

Further down the passage you can see mountains in the background… some pretty sharp peaks out there…

Sherrie got the New Your Cheese Cake with strawberry topping… it was better…

We noticed that after the show and activities we went to … 60’s music Trivia etc.… that the ship was stopped… yep we were a bit ahead and were just stopped waiting to make the last 30 miles or so into port so we could dock at 7am…

So we just rested the last day and caught up on the shows we missed as they played all of them on the TV that day… not like being at them but we still got to see the best of what went on while we were busy doing something else..
