Day 7 ~ Ketchikan

 Friday June 30th, we were only in Ketchikan for half a day so we didn't book any excursion here.  We did some shopping around town and headed back to the ship for some entertainment.

They did a daily Deal or No Deal game which was fun to watch.  You could get chosen to come up or play along with cards, but we're not risk takers!

Pat & Caroline played laser tag.  There's also a speedway, but no one was interested. They loved laser tag though and their team won, Pat coming in 2nd and Caroline 6th!

Date night! We had dinner at a complimentary restaurant and the girls went to the buffet.

We saw the show, Choir of Man and it was awesome!

Day 4 ~ Juneau

 Tuesday June 27th, before we docked in Juneau Caroline did a painting class.



On our balcony about to dock in Juneau

We had high hopes for today as we had planned a helicopter glacier dog sledding excursion, but knew that it was the most canceled excursion in Alaska.  The helicopters won't fly in fog, rain, wind, low clouds and this is Alaska so yeah...The weather was warm and sunny in Juneau when we docked, but very foggy up on the glaciers so unfortunately it was canceled 😞 Instead, we did some shopping and took a bus to the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center and hiked to Nugget Falls, which was cool.

We're dressed for on top of a glacier so we were a bit warm!







Back on the ship.  A lot of daylight in Alaska in June, sunset around 10pm and sunrise around 3am
