My hair was doing its own thing most of the cruise.
I didn't bring my flat iron and the breezes on the decks
made any effort to tame my hair go sideways!
I packed very lightly...
glad I packed with versatile layering pieces.
The puffy vest was great as it kept me warm at the Glacier and on shore excursions.
Koningsdam
Holland America Cruise Ship
Very well appointed, cozy room with a verandah.
Great staff, fun entertainment and overall exceptional service and food.
Beautiful scenery
~ Juneau ~
On the only rainy day
we went to the State museum which was fabulous.
Lots of First Nations Art and Artifacts
and local history displays.
We HAD TO stop at Tracy's Crab Shack.
It did not disappoint.
Sweet and Fresh Crab 10 out of 10
I wore my sleeveless black dress several nights...
the lacy cardigan was a good choice as it kept my arms warm.
Creme Brulee
Lindt Chocolate Mousse atop a wee cake...
YUM
Food in the dining room and onboard in other areas was really delicious.
(I gained 4 pounds on the cruise)
I blame it on dessert...we rarely eat dessert at home.
One of my favourite spots...
overlooking the pool.
~ Skagway Alaska ~
Heritage buildings and a rich gold mining history.
On board "wildlife"
Our favourite night time entertainment was Billboard.
Two incredibly talented young fellows playing two pianos.
Crayton and George were a fun duo...
they engaged the audience and we totally enjoyed their evening sets.
(5 nights we attended)
They played a wide range of hit songs from the 60's to the 90's.
One shelf had books to exchange in the Onboard Library.
Am reading this now...
can't wait to figure out how it ends.
~ Glacier Bay ~
Johns Hopkins Glacier
Stunning Scenery
Floating ice
lots of birds
and
harbour seals.
The weather after the rainy day in Juneau was amazing!
Sunshine, blue skies and so warm.
I purchased a new scent in Vancouver before we boarded the ship.
Have never had any Jo Malone fragrances before and I quite like this light cologne.
Salmon Croquette and greens
Cheese Board
~ Ketchikan ~
We went to The Great Lumberjack Show.
Had another crab feed at Ketchikan Crab and Go.
So tasty...
I didn't buy anything except a deck of cards and a ball cap.
Never had a ball cap before and I always wanted one.
Well we had a GREAT WEEK.
It flew by so fast and we enjoyed the cruise SO MUCH.
I highly recommend Holland America if you plan to go on a cruise.
Thank you for stopping by The Humble Bungalow Blog.
Until next time...
