June 4, 2019 – Cruising College Fjord
The ship entered College Fjord at 8am and slowly sailed toward the Harvard Glacier. It was overcast with the temperature in the mid fifties. One of the naturalists did a great commentary as we sailed in. The bow of the ship was open. I went out on the front of deck 9 which was less crowded than the bow. The whole fjord is beautiful and there are multiple glaciers which are named after eastern colleges like Vassar and Bryn Mawr. We slowly started sailing back out around noon. While sailing in we were able to spot sea lions and otters in the water.
Tonight is the second gala night. Dinner was very good.
Tomorrow we are in Homer. I was there 4 years ago and will just wander around.

  2. Hi Elsie, many people on the road call for the next cruise are watching your blog so thank you. Can you tell us how much the thermal suite is for a 21 day cruise? Just wondering.
