Cruising the Inside Passage was an added bonus on this trip due to bad weather off the coast. The Captain decided to take a detour instead of going around the outside, and we were certainly not complaining.

In the distance we could see some whales which was awesome… that’s when you could do with a huge zoom lens.

Back to the cabin to finish packing and then to put the bags out ready for collection. Our bags were one of the first in our corridor, that makes a change. Now we can enjoy the rest of the day and the Inside Passage.

Dinner was again in the main dining room and we gave the two waiters some tips $30 each as this is our last evening with them. They were both good, a little reserved and sometimes MIA but we received good service from them, nothing over and above the norm though.
