Thanks for the beautiful photo. I will be on the Bliss for the second sailing from Seattle next week. Yahoo!

I can't believe that no one on this sailing is sharing with us. We are on the 4/29 sailing and would love to hear experiences, entertainment on board (is Archie still playing?) and dailies.

I’m on board.  Just zoom in max and look for the old guy with a Guinness in his hand.  I don’t think we have Archie this week. Siglo is AAAA+.   Stephen is good.         More to come….

Any word on Skagway? Tendering, bus or normal gangway to shore?

I thought the guy in the observation lounge was good last week (was that Archie?), and the Beatles of course but they skipped a couple of shows due to illness.

Someone on the ship said they are using a shuttle bus from the ship rather than tenders, and the queue for the shuttle is long.

It was long today.  About 45 minutes at around 10:00 am. We didn’t reserve assigned slots yesterday. We could have.

Bridge cam makes bow look like it is ready for nice day in Glacier bay. Watch out for whales this am.

It’s sunny now in Glacier Bay.  I’m sitting in front of buffet enjoying a spicey Bloody Mary. 😎

Can you let us know if the PA stuff from the park rangers is playing in the outside speakers as well as indoor public areas ? I’m hoping to be outside with camera if the weather allows. 

[SightCRR]

Looking really nice. 

[shof515]

how do you know the bow area is accessible? do they put it in the freestyle newsletter/app? 

[SightCRR]

Don't think that they are allowed to make outside pa in G/B due to noise. Bridge cam on room tv is one way. I bet it is cold and windy out there now.

My hearing is awful and so is the ship speaker system, so it’s just unnecessary noise to me. It’s playing in the buffet. I’ll head out to the bow for the big glacier soon.

It’s always open for the glacier. Deck 8

Could anyone upload copies of the dailies when they have a chance?

 

[eileeshb]

There’s a guy posting screengrabs of the dailies on Facebook so I’ll re-post them here. He didn’t grab every page on the first few just pages 1 to 3.
