Yes. It was a sprint to Port...we came last.

Tied up now...so on with the holiday.

It was one hell of a ride last night. Difficult to remain in bed. It was all pitching...no swaying. Thought she was gunna break up a few times...but obviously she survived.

Thanks all for being part of the story.....off to Vancouver now.

Good stuff, safe travels.

Great stuff, glad you made it.  by the way, they had a whale feeding at the dock  behind the Golden Princess in Ketchikan on Thursday. I think it may have been Stu that posted it on FB.

Postscript.... Had a great sail up the Inside Passage. Who doesn't enjoy an Alaskan cruise? Funny thing though...we were discussing how limited and tight fitting the public rooms are on Golden Princess, compared to the older and smaller Carnival Elation, which seems much more expansive. Seems the newer ships have gone for cabins over space. Not a biggie....but very noticeable. On the flip side, the buffet was much more "refined" on Golden Princess....so much so, that we ended up having most meals there. On the Elation, with a different demographic, it was loud, busy and messy. Goes to show...every ship has pluses and minuses. Now to sample the Ovation, on our return to Sydney.
