Day 12 - Day at Sea

This morning there was no land to be seen and the ocean was rough enough to toss the ship around a little bit.  Luckily for us, we weren’t bothered by the movement, but we did see a number of people that were not feeling well.  Everything calmed down again after noon as we cruised back in to the inland passage.  After getting cleaned up a bit, we headed to the aft end of the ship for breakfast.  Breakfast and Lunch is a matter of choice aboard ship, but we decided to eat on the fan tail buffet.  The food in a word is…Wow!  There was pretty much anything you might want and as much of it as you could eat.  Food is available pretty much anytime you want it.  In addition to the different restaurants and buffets on the ship, room service is also included in the price and is open 24 hours a day.  There literally is no reason for anyone to go wanting for anything on this boat.  After breakfast we discovered the coffee bar on the bow of the ship.  While premium drinks are charged, it was worth it for a good latte.  Oh, while Kate and Jack were away from the table during breakfast, the captain came by and spoke with Mackenzie and I for a couple of minutes.  The entire staff here is pretty much out and about and is always asking how you’re doing and if you need anything.  It was pretty cool the captain came by, but we keep running in to the ships officers and they are all awesome.  Disney has always impressed us with their customer services, but they take it to a new level on the cruise line.  
The boat passed through some very tight passages today and we watched the scenery pass by from the comfort of our balcony.  It pretty much justified the upgrade to a veranda as it sure beat competing for rail space up on the upper decks.  Wildlife spotted was a small whale and fish jumping from time to time.  The rest of the day was movies, swimming, or playing until dinner.  


Tonight was formal night and the Golden Micky’s and that meant jacket and tie.  Dinner was a formal affair at Tritians and the food rocked!  We stuffed ourselves and then went to see the Golden Micky’s show at the theater.  Lot’s of singing and dancing.  We finished the night was ice cream bars delivered to our rooms.  Tomorrow is the Tracy Arm glacier and we have to get up early and start looking for whales.
