Cruise Day 3 - Juneau

 

We had a quiet morning as we sailed between various islands on our way to Juneau.  We started out with nice (but chilly) weather, but a few minutes after this picture was taken, we entered a fog bank.  That put a damper on the whale and seal sightings we were supposed to be able to see as we sailed this morning.   We docked on schedule around 1 pm after passing 2 other large cruise ships. Shortly after we arrived, the huge Odyssey of the Seas arrived.

We enjoyed burgers for lunch before heading ashore for some shopping.  As could be expected with over 16,000 cruise passengers in this small town, it was a bit crowded.   But we accomplished everything we wanted to do. 

Tonight was our special dinner in the Pinnacle Grill, courtesy of our travel agent.  We both enjoyed filets and a chocolate soufflé and it was delicious!  Unfortunately we both forgot to take a picture before we dug into the filet.    
The service was excellent, as one would expect at a special restaurant.  

That's about it for today.  We plan to watch a movie tonight then get some sleep as the sightseeing starts early tomorrow morning as we head to Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier.
