We are back from our late season Alaska cruise up through Glacier Bay with stops in Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and (really doesn't count, though) Victoria, B.C.. (The ship only stopped in Victoria, B.C. long enough to log the required stop in a foreign port (it is based out of Nassau)). We were supposed to disembark there for several hours of 'play time' but were told at the last minuet prior to sailing that they were having 'excessive wear' on one of the thrust bearings on one of the propeller units, and this would cause delay getting into Victoria (yea, and I have some prime beach front property in Florida to sell ya...).
We'll have oodles of photos up before too long (only took 3G worth on the digitals...). We saw lots of Bald Eagles and other feathered friends, whales of various types, seals, sea lions, and an occasional mountain goat and BEARS!!!
We sailed out of Seattle on the good ship Lolly Pop... no, really, we were on the Norwegian Pearl from the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet.
Weather overall was, as mentioned above, late season, so a lot of fog, rain, drizzle mixed in with a small amount of blue skies, sunshine and billowy clouds.
