Today started out really rough as we entered the Pacific Ocean again. There were lots of waves and wind and the boat was really rolling. I got up and headed to the Solarium to bring coffee back to the room. Nancy decided she wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so the girls and I got up and headed out.
Today was one of the best days of the cruise: the visit to Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier. During our previous trip to Alaska, we got to see Tracy Arm and Sawyer Glacier. The entry into the Arm started early this morning, at 7 am. We were up early and had placed our room service order the evening before. While we waited for breakfast, we went outside to enjoy the view from the balcony.
After an exciting morning of getting on board our first Royal Caribbean ship, we decided to spend some time exploring the ship. Our first stop was the indoor pool area. This area had a retractable roof (that was always closed during this trip). There were two separate pool areas (one near the bar) and two hot tubs. This area remained surprisingly uncrowded during the entire cruise.
