Norwegian Jewel Southbound

17 July 2018

After several annoying incidents including moving me out of my cabin 9525 to 9151 for the second part of my cruise due to a booking mix up I was invited to the VIP glacier viewing on deck 15, The Haven.

This is an elite area which provided complimentary drtinks including hot chocolates with triple Bailey’s shots. But the best was the view of the Hubbard glacier.

The weather this time was so much clearer which produced very different photos to 2 days prior.

I have been enjoying ship events solo as I normally do but I have been missing the fun team from the northbound Alaska trip.

Luckily the entertainment and crew have been filling some of that void.

The solo travellers this cruise include young ones aged between 18 and 20. I call them my babies and they also accompany me on the dance floor.

Glaciers

14 and 15 July 2018

These were sea days but in particular we floated around Hubbard and Sawyer Glaciers.

The scenery is breathtaking. We sailed through ice which crackled, spectacular blue and white of islands of ice and heard explosive sounds when pieces of the glacier fell away (caving) were entrancing.

Of course I danced away each night.
