First cruise to Alaska. Weather was great except for one day but that was our cruising day up the coast of BC. Sailed out of Vancouver under sunny skies. We had great food and entertainment on board the Ryndam. From Alaska king crab to prime rib to the most awesome desserts. We sampled some of the sculptures made from chocolate on the Chocolate extravaganza night. It was much too sweet for me but really great to see all the different designs. I did indulge in a chocolate covered strawberry or two. The mornings we had coffee and toast delivered to our room. Some morning and afternoons we would get our coffee and a blanket and set out front our room on deck chairs similar to what you seen on the movie Titanic and just watch the shore line as we sailed by. We stopped in Juneau, then on to Ketakan, through Tracy arm to the Glacier which no words can possible describe but awesome wonder of Gods creation more magnificent then any painting more breath taking then anything I,d imagined. God was everywhere you looked. We then sailed on to Skagway and got our land legs for a bit. In the evening we treated our self to an wonderful dinner in the main dinning room which came with beautiful concert concerto's by a small concert band.It was very elegant. After dinner we took in the evening entertainment provided by the ships crew and also a young fellow who did impersonations and some comedy as well. Our friends and us also enjoyed the movie theater on board and watch Benjamin Button starring Brad Pitt. It was quite the movie 2 1/2 hours long but kept us guessing all the twist and turns. We also were treated to popcorn which is a must for a movie , right. Our trip was definitely one to remember. I took over 80 pictures or more all treasures to me . I enjoyed my time immensely. I would recommend this trip to everyone interested in seeing Alaska.
