The sail into Tracy Arm this morning was fantastic. We went far up into the arm due to the weather gods smiling on us. However, they paid us back with rainy weather in Juneau. Alan and I had scheduled the helicopter with glacier walk about. It was canceled. They changed us to a different helicopter glacier tour. We made it all the way to the helicopter port. We put on the boots and special life vests before being told that it was canceled due to weather. We were sorry to miss it but appreciated the attention to safety, especially since it was our safety.

Dinner tonight in La Veranda was wonderful. The staff provided the personal service that we expect from a luxury cruise line and that we have found sorely lacking in Compass Rose so far. The food was excellent. We'll definitely be spending more time in La Veranda. But, we'll be giving Compass Rose another chance too.

Sure hope the sun will come out tomorrow in Skagway when we'll be spending 7 hours on the Glacier tour with Speedcat.

Even with the rain, we love Alaska and this itinerary. With so many excursions to choose from, Alan and I can see ourselves sailing on another Alaska cruise.
