      And now"A Little Japanese Potty Posting"

      25 Juni 2023 ⋅ 🌬 46 °F

      As we leave Japan, Karen can’t help but post about the Japanese Bathrooms. We both loved them. We have posted some of the many varieties of bathrooms. One thing for sure is that wherever you go, no matter day or night, whatever size the bathroom facility, it will provide everything you need in a clear concise manner:

      - Spotless 24x7
      - Everything is well labeled and with good directions (good thing since it since it’s in Japanese). SOS is clear.
      - Bathrooms are beautiful in the terminal, on the train tracks, in a restaurant, in a mall … everywhere
      - Yes the Sinks, Toilets, and Bidets are all in perfect working order with dryers built into many of the sinks (the only thing I saw in one bathroom was an “out of order” garbage can - that’s because everyone seems to take their garbage with them)
      - Control panel in All Bathroom Stalls - for flushing, for sound control (for privacy and “noise control”), for control of washing the “parts” front and/or back and of course you can control the intensity of these operations
      - In the ladies’ room there is a “little boys urinal”
      - Separate seat cleaners
      - Clear icons, a changing table, a place for the toddler to sit strapped in while waiting for you, all bathrooms are handicapped accessible, in braille too, plenty of counter space, a supply of toilet paper and soap always, and hands-free flushing.
      - Need I go on?      Baca selengkapnya

      At Sea- Hubbard Glacier

      7 Juni 2022 ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

      We started the day with coffee and pastries delivered to the room. How very civilized.

      After a very busy land tour, we were very happy to have a sea day, be able to sleep later, and have a chill day.

      About 3 pm we began to cruise along Hubbard Glacier. There just aren't words...

      In addition to the enormous glacier, we saw Sea lions basking on ice chunks, and an otter out for a swim.

      We had dinner at the French Bistro- Scallops, Goat Cheese croquettes, Fruits de Mer, and Poire Helène for me, Escargots, Fruits de Mer and Maron Clementine for Wayne, and Scallops Duck a L'Orange, and a Chocolate mousse log with a lovely Pinot Noir for Julianna. The waiter also brought us a Floating Island that was quite delicious.

      Julianna and I went to the "Rock You Tonight" show featuring music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Something for everyone. Then at 10:15 we went to watch sunset. It was the first sunset I'd seen while in Alaska, since the sun set at almost 2 am when we were in Fairbanks. This was a Very. Long l. Sunset- and then it still didn't get very dark for a long time.

      With memories of another spectacular day, we turned in.      Baca selengkapnya

      Around the World Brunch #3

      27 Juni 2023 ⋅ ☁️ 46 °F

      For the third and last time we had a brunch for the Around the World Team. Maybe it was all the champagne, but it sure seemed that they went even further this time to make it special.

      Yes, there were every type of breakfast offering you could imagine and many lunch options (although there were even more items that couldn’t fit on the menu) but there were additionally more desserts than ever.

      What a great idea to seat us right next to the desserts so I didn’t even have to get up … only reach over for some more sugar. At one point, the Executive Chef reached over and gave me an entire tray of napoleons … how generous and we also polished off the bounty cake, giving Krista and Tim the bow to celebrate their 48th anniversary (the first time … since they had 2 days of celebration because of the IDL).

      The meal was highlighted by the Panache String Quartet only a few feet away … making it very pleasant to eat and drink and talk and listen to music and have cappuccinos and REPEAT from 10-2p!

      PS Loved the traditional croque-monsieur!      Baca selengkapnya

      Sea Day - Rough Waters, Slow Going

      1 Juli 2023 ⋅ 🌧 48 °F

      Friday 6-30-23 Late evening thru Saturday 7-1-23
      We left Dutch Harbor 30 minutes early yesterday due to expected bad weather that was coming. The waves started to pickup last night before bedtime. We went to sleep looking forward to a busy day at sea before we got to the next 5 Alaskan ports. As they say, “the weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed”. We were up much of the night as we rocked forward, backward and side to side.

      The rocking and rolling and the swaying began, and the listing continued all night. No one had a good a nights sleep ... some of us finally fell to sleep early in the morning just to wake up a few hours later feeling pretty woozy. The activities for the day were almost all cancelled. Room service became very popular.

      Then the Captain came on the Emergency Messaging System. He told us about the STORM and GALE FORCE WARNING and then explained why we were not getting to Kodiak, Alaska tomorrow. The plan is to skip Kodiak and go right to Seward, Alaska and get there early Monday morning.

      Currently and most of the day and night were experiencing 15+ foot waves with winds of 50+ knots. We were going a very slow but steady 6 knots to avoid any extra rolling. Thinking good thoughts as this is the worst of the weather we have had in 6 months … even worse than Drakes Passage.

      Spontanious (Suprise) Glacier Water Tour

      24 September 2019 ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

      We actually wanted to go hike. But then we met a couple who told us about this (way to expensive, but really amazing) boat trip the the glaciers. So we changed our plans and went on a cruise catamaran to see some sea-otters, sea lions, seals, a black bear and massive glaciers reaching out into the water. We were lucky and could go so close to the Harvard Glacier. Then Surprise Glacier and 24 others on our way. We saw them calving. We tried the ice.
      What a change of plans and, wow. What a day.
      And not enough. While heading to Homer afterwards we saw a moose and a moose-cow. Nearly too much for one day 🙈😄 but, yes, I’d do it again. ☺️
      *****
      Eigentlich wollten wir wandern gehen. Aber dann trafen wir zwei Personen, die am Tag zuvor eine (viel zu teure, aber so beeindruckend schöne) Gletscher-Cruise-Bootsfahrt gemacht hatten. Also waren wir kurze Zeit später auf eine risigen Edel-Katamaran und beobachteten See-Otter (wie süß!!!!😍), Seelöwen, Robben, einen Schwarzbären und unendlich große, massive Gletscher, die bis ins Wasser reichten. Wir hatten Glück und konnten ganz nah an dem Harvard-Gletscher ran, danach zum Surprise-Gletscher und dazwischen 24 weitere. Wir haben sehen können, wie sie kalbten und haben das Eis gekostet. Was für eine Tagesplanänderung!
      Und als wäre das nicht genug, sahen wir noch einen Elch und eine Elchkuh auf der Fahrt hinterher. Fast zu viel für einen Tag. 🙈😄
      Aber ich würde es wieder so machen. ☺️      Baca selengkapnya

      At Sea … NOT in Kodiak

      2 Juli 2023 ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F

      It took practically most of today, but finally — at past 8:30p — we have made enough headway into the Gulf of Alaska that we are a little north of Kodiak now. Explains why the Captain felt he had to cancel Kodiak as a port of call if we were to make Seward tomorrow.

      After being rocked to sleep, we woke up to slightly calmer seas this morning. When I looked at the Bridge Report around noon, it described the sea state as being 11.5 feet … better than 13-15 feet. The skies started out overcast, but actually brightened for a while this afternoon. We even had some blue patches overhead. Now, we are cloaked by fog that seems to be getting thicker by the minute. Visibility is very poor. The fog horn is being sounded periodically.

      Nothing else to report from an otherwise quiet, unexpected day at sea.      Baca selengkapnya

      At Sea: En Route to Hubbard Glacier

      4 Juli 2023 ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F

      Happy 4th of July to our US readers … on and off the ship.

      Today we get to see a glacier we’ve not seen before.

      But first, we are spending much of the day at sea to get there for our designated entry time. I understand there are 6 ships visiting the glacier today, and entries are timed to avoid “traffic congestion.”

      We had a busy morning … the highlights of which were the taking of the official RTW2023 photo on the pool deck, for which the sun cooperated beautifully (thanks Cella for a “preview copy), and lunch with OCA Cella, and fellow passengers David and Roger. That a hilarious lunch ensued goes without saying.      Baca selengkapnya

      Havdalah Dinner- The Last Saturday night

      1 Juli 2023 ⋅ 🌧 48 °F

      After 25 weeks of facilitating our Friday night Shabbat Services in the intimate library here on the ship, I thought it would be nice to celebrate Havdalah together as a group and have a Shabbat Dinner.

      Of course it came the same evening of our Rough Waters Slow Going (7/1) storm when many people did not make it out of their room for 24-48 hours. That being said, we still had a great group of 20+ friends who took on the challenge to come to dinner and try to have a Havdalah Service in the middle of a lout dining room. Oh, did I mention that we had to make do by getting cinnamon powder from breakfast for our spices, wine was easy- I had 4 left over bottles of Manischewitz but the candle required creativity in that we cannot have open flames (the electric candle would have shorted out so we had a good friend, Mui “paint” us a candle to use). It was a great experience as they even supplied fresh challah (why not?).

      Havdalah was followed by a beautiful full dinner. Of course broiled chicken was available in addition to the many other entrees offered.      Baca selengkapnya

      After eight long sea days, the endless ocean was disrupted by the growth on the horizon of Hinchinbrook Island, Alaska!
      The captain told us that due to missing our last port in Japan (high winds), Princess was able to add a side trip to College Fjord to see some glaciers!Baca selengkapnya

      Stormy Morning

      9 Mei ⋅ 🌬 4 °C

      My morning routine is to walk down to deck 4, the lowest for passengers, then go up to deck 18 to walk on the track. Today for the first time on this cruise the deck was closed due to high winds.
      Some people report seeing whale spouts while I can accurately report my first sighting of human children, seen in the wild at the pizza counter on the pool deck. The predominant demographic differs a bit from that of Disney and Royal Caribbean...Baca selengkapnya
