Fake, Made Up and Completely Impossible Virtual Cruise Trip Report

Does the North Star feel like a Wonkavator?  

 

I've never had the pleasure of a Wonkavator.  North Star is quite smooth and the motion of the ride isn't even something I think about, I'm too much into the views.  It's a perspective you won't find on any other class of ship or cruise line.

All good things must come to and end including a day at Hubbard Glacier.

I could spend several pages on Hubbard Glacier but this is just a sampler to illustrate why I love cruising in Alaska so much.   I really miss Alaska, fingers crossed hoping for a quick return.

 

Doh!  In my haste to jump over to Radiance I left my SeaPass card on Ovation.  I need to jump back over now since it was free on short range. 

 

Please enjoy this relaxing aft view Hubbard sail away as I make my way back to Ovation.

There's nothing like waking to a beautiful brand new day.   When that occurs in the Alaskan Inside Passage it's so much better.

ProTip - Don't sleep in while in Alaska even if you are not a morning person.  It can be pretty spectacular.

How about a quick time lapse?

Since we are nearby let's pop into Juneau.  

 

The Alaskan Inside Passage is used to reach ports of call such as Juneau which turns out to be the Capital of Alaska and a staple of many Alaska cruise itineraries.

A quintessential element of Alaska is the float plane and while visiting Juneau it's hard not to see some.

These work horses have been a big part of making Alaska what it is today.

So it seems fitting to do the short walk over to the Seaplane base and go for a ride.
