June 21, 2023 Tracey Arm Glacier Day

Sunrise this morning was at 3:56 am! I did not wake up for sunrise this morning. I did was up about 6am and could see the sun coming through the curtains. Morning starts early in Alaska. The sun was shining brightly on our side of the ship this morning.

7am we headed up to Cove Cafe to grab a coffee. There were new Alaska cup out! $20 and you go a specialty coffee drink inside the cup, so of course we had to buy a new one.

Off the Cabanas to get some breakfast. I tried the churro waffle and I wasn’t a big fan. I ate a little bit of a few different things.

We walked a little bit on Deck 10 after breakfast. It was windy and chilly! I needed my hat and my gloves. My hair was blowing everywhere. We stopped back at the room to get our warm clothes before going back out. We stopped in at the Fjords, Glacier, Ice . It was ok probably didn’t need to be 45 minutes.

Really windy outside this morning.

Time for more looking for wildlife. We stopped some spots of water which the speaker says he thinks were Orcas they were too far away to see more than the spout of water.

For lunch we headed to Triton’s while waiting to get closer to the Glacier. This time we headed to Swayer Glacier (last summer was Dawes Glacier).

Lots of waterfalls along the way to the Glacier. While we were waiting for the Glacier view a Harbor Seal sawn really close to the ship. There were tons of Seals on the icebergs and swimming in the water. It was really amazing. We did see some calving while at the glacier. The boat didn’t stop for a view from the sides it turned so the starboard side faced the Glacier and kept moving.

Looking down from our room

Dinner tonight was back in Animators. It was a Frozen Themed dinner.

Elsa’s coronation scallops- princess scallops baked in shrimp Conac tarragon cream sauce topped with a flaky pastry
Anna’s honey marinated salmon with sautéed spinach, new potatoes

We skipped dessert tonight. Nothing looked that good and we had some ice cream at lunch. So, walked a few laps then went back to the room to finish watching Aladdin. Then I started Thor while we enjoyed the views passing by. Sunset is around 10pm.
