Alaska John Denver Music Cruise Day 3

Today we visited Icy Strait Point, one of the more infrequent cruise ports.  We did visit here once before in 2010. The port is much improved from that visit as they have now built a cruise ship dock so tendering is not needed. That had to cost a lot of $$$, and hopefully works out well for the local tribe to attract more cruise ships. 
I think we have the breakfast thing figured out.  Today we found a small, uncrowded brunch area where they had fruit, eggs, and omelets, and that worked out very well. Also, navigating around the ship is getting easier. 
 Once docked, we took a walk on the nature trail though the very beautiful forest, led by Anne Curry, one of the musicians.  The size of some of the plants was amazing; we saw HUGE leaves on many plants as we walked the well groomed trail.  
After lunch there was a JD singalong with the Curry's, which was well attended. We sang John Denver songs to our hearts' content! 

Tonight we had dinner in the Italian themed specialty restaurant, La Cucina. Our cruise package included three speciality dining meals so we scheduled two in this restaurant and one in Cagney's their steakhouse.  After that, we heard a string trio playing Vivaldi and Bach, a relaxing end to the day.

I think the walk in the woods would have been the highlight of my day after seeing so much water and being around so many people! The leaves on that plant were HUGE! Thanks for the pics...have fun! ~Sylvia
