Had time this morning for a leisurely breakfast at our hotel the Hilton Towers. Karen did some shopping, Richard met a friend from the National Park Service Alaska region, for a cup of coffee. We boarded our coach at Noon for the trip to Alyeska, and a tour of Portage Glacier that included a boat ride that took us within a quarter mile of the face.

After checking in at the Alyeska resort, we rode the aerial tram to the top of the mountain for the best diner of the entire cruise tour at the Seven Glaciers Restaurant. The views from the mountain were spectacular, and the food and the service were outstanding.

Saturday we had a boat tour of Prince William Sound that included a visit to a Salmon Hatchery, and a visit to Columbia Glacier. Saw a lot of sea lions, and rafts of sea otters.

Sunday morning boarded our bus for the last time for the ride down to Seward to meet our ship MS Zaandam. Said goodby to Daniel, and boarded the ship. Had lunch on the Lido Deck while we waited for our state room to be ready at 1:30 PM. It took a long time for the luggage to show up.

Diner in the main dining room was served at our table for 2, we had fruit compote, tomato/crab salad, French onion soup, braised lamb shank, and home made ice cream, and chocolate raspberry cake for desert. Saw the show “That’s Entertainment” in the Mondrian Lounge later in the evening.

Had trouble getting to sleep. Sea was a bit choppy this evening, and the doors between our balcony and the neighbors kept banging. Got up, got dressed, and went for a walk. stopped at the Main Desk, and asked for someone to lock the doors. Slept well later.
