Alaska and Northwest Trip - Day 10

The trip has taken a turn for the interesting.  We are unable to get underway due to hurricane force winds in the Bay of Alaska, so we will be sitting in Seward for a couple of days.  The good news is that the food on the ship is AWESOME, the suite is spectacular and we have a nice lounge that has food most of the day.  The bad news is that the casino can't open!

Took a tour of the kitchen as well as an overall ship tour.  The kitchen tour was fascinating.  There is one crewmember for every two guests!  The dining staff is almost 100% Filipino and they have their own kitchen for their food.

The ship is smaller than a lot of cruise ships, only 1200 ish guests.

There's a monkey in our room!

Our veranda (photo doesn't do it justice!)
