I give up. None of my attempts to post photos have worked.

 

Although the Stella Artois are working...

Three cheers for Stella. [emoji3]

Crossing our fingers. Captain had picked up speed to get us over to Kilauea volcano around 11-11:30 tonight. Hoping we can see something.

Hope that this mist won't be an issue for the volcanic viewing.

There is a large overflow of the diamond lounge. But plenty of empty seat in the lounge so we just sat there. [emoji2]

Interesting. It already has the totem pole up. I thought they'd add that when it docked in Vancouver to start the Alaska season.

And I thought it was always there. [emoji3]

Went to the theater to watch the singers and dancers perform their City of Dreams production.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We found a visitor back at the cabin, our first penguin

Well we got to see lava flow from the Kilauea volcano and it was spectacular. Trying to take a picture of it from a moving ship at night from long distance. Now that is a different story. Sorry this is the best I got.

So glad you got to see Kilauea at night!

We took the first southbound from Alaska last year, and I could swear they said that it was put up to start the Alaska season and taken down on the last Alaska cruise each year ... in fact, we were so sure of it, we were thinking when we see the boat in VAN in just over a week for the northbound, they'd be putting it up on our cruise.

 

Now I'm curious and off to look at Radiance pics from when she was in Australia if the totem was up then, too!

[BecciBoo]

The one thing we missed on our circuit~ You so lucky Bill!

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Can you tell me what the beds are like? I have heard rock hard. We are on an 18 day to Australia this year. Love your reviews!

It is always there, it is a permanent structure. We had it all the way from Vancouver to Sydney in 2011. :)

 

Great shots of the lava flow, I'm glad it was cooperating last night! BTW, someone posted a nautical map showing Explorer not too far from you last night, on its way to Kona today. I wonder if it sailed by the lava flow, as well? They clear Immigration in Kona today, should be "interesting."

I thought I posted this last night but here is a little video I took as well

I guess it depends on what type of mattress you normally use. For me the ones here are firm but not uncomfortable.

Great Lava shots, your very lucky to have seen this!

Thanks, it was worth waiting up for. We had never seen it before.

Yeah, it's always been there. It was carved by Tlingit artist Nathan Jackson of Ketchikan and installed as part of Radiance's art package. This ship was always intended for the Alaska market. :)

With the weather being a bit wet this morning we decided to just make a run over on the Wal-Mart shuttle for calendars and chocolate covered macadamia then relax on board.

 

 

Someone asked for pictures of our cabin 9092 so here you go.

I remember that deep balcony -- great for rainy or windy days! Is that a new tee shirt for Marie? It looks tropical. :)

[bettyboop16]

After the market we headed to Fish Hopper so I could get some lunch and Marie could get her ultimate bloody Mary

 

 

Kona Big Wave golden ale

 

 

And a seafood salad for me.

 

 

 

Marie and her "drink"
