Yes, docked in Skagway this morning. No additional updates beyond plan to depart Skagway today then begin adjusted schedule to Whittier to maintain on-time final destination arrival.

And running with stabilizing system off to maximize speed. Nice wave pool going in the top decks this morning.

Sapphire arrived late with one non-operational engine. Decision (guessing corporate) was made to depart with only one operational engine, reroute on open sea path with headwind, with the intent/hope of regaining the second propulsion unit functionality which did not happen. My tracking app info says expected arrival in Juneau is mid-afternoon. Researched and paid for inside passage route to maximize coastal scenery of Alaska. Not crawling along at a snails pace in the North Pacific missing what is looking to be possibly 3 destinations and associated excursions. Can’t perfume the pig on the go/no go decision and resultant impact to clientele.

14:15 is scheduled arrival. Estimated arrival is a bit later than 14:15 UTC on the line below.

I heard College Fjord but not Glacier Bay. Booked based on route and stops. 2 stops cancelled and basically staring at open ocean most of the day today (and a second unplanned for tomorrow) rather than inner passage coastlines. Falling well short of our excitement and anticipation.

Been dealing with a couple of cabin issues on top of delayed departure and dropped destination. Somewhat disappointing since we had on to do list for past 5 yrs.
