Sailaway From Skagway

We were upstairs in Skywalkers 

for sailaway from Skagway.

So the photos from there have

a blue cast to them.

You can see the water up under the bridge

swirling as the thrusters are moving us away

from the pier.

It's the same for the aft end as well.

Looking down from Skywalkers.

Goodbye Skagway.

That's the helicopter port

that we were next to.

There were seven pads that the helicopters

were using to take passengers back and forth

to the Glacier.

See ya later Coral Princess.

On our way back out the Inlet.

Looks like a squadron of UFO's

but it was just lights reflecting in the window.

That's the Skywalk showing on the left

side of the photo.

Here's a photo from inside looking down

towards the lower deck.

There's an escalator in the center,

but most of the time it wasn't running.

Back inside Skywalkers,

the bar glasses are ready for another 

evening of partiers.

Meanwhile we have Skywalkers to ourselves

along with some of Carole's family.

Back to our cabin,

as it's getting late.

It's still sunny out and past

our normal bed time.

Alaska is so beautiful,

you can hardly tear yourself away

to go to bed.

But you have to.

We had an early date with the Glaciers

the next morning.

 Our room steward had left chocolates

again during his turndown service.

We were feeling very spoiled,

but I did make our bed in the mornings.

I just can't expect someone else to do it.

Not even in hotels

 unless it's our last morning

of course.

We still have most of those chocolates.
