We were ten minutes late getting back for the dogsled tour which was my wife’s primary objective for the whole trip. The Princess rep radioed the bus and had them wait while they drove us out to it, and off we went. I think missing the dogs would have been much worse than missing the glaciers so the Princess efforts were HUGELY appreciated on this one.


We didn’t get a lot of time in the town itself and I think we may have made a rookie mistake of overbooking on the tours. On the other hand, I don’t see how we could have skipped the railroad or the dogs so maybe we just need to come back someday just to visit the town. For sheer numbers of things to see, Alaska is hard to beat. We could easily stay onboard on a B2B of the same cruise and never do the same thing.


Back in the cabin I decided to recover from the day and then call room service at about 8:45 PM. The staff was proper and courteous and the food came up right at the time they gave me. Unfortunately, we had two completely different meals and both of them were like biting into a dry sponge. This is the first time we have gotten something truly inedible on the ship and it wasn’t a tough order or weird hour. One of my friends pointed out that you should definitely not be able to wave goodbye with a potato chip that flaps in the wind. Oh well, another lesson learned I suppose.
