Disney Alaska Cruise: Endicott Arm

Wednesday was technically another sea day, as we were not leaving the ship.  However, our ship was headed to Endicott Arm and was going to make a stop at Dawes Glacier later in the afternoon.

To start off our day, we had our first breakfast at Cabanas.  We were there at 7:00 a.m., right when it opened.

After breakfast, D captured another heart-warming moment. (*Edit–k and n would like me to clarify that this was actually not a heart-warming moment.  Instead, they were playing a game where k’s hat was covering her eyes, and n was trying to guide her.)

The scenery was ever-changing.

The kids tried to shoot some hoops, but the crew was preparing Deck 10 for the glacier-viewing.

Next we checked out the Oceaneer Lab.  Look at all of that space!

D tried his hand at the ship navigation game.  We left the kids there.  According to k:

Nathan and I went to the kids club to do Spider-Man 101.  We did an easy obstacle course.  Next, at 11:00, we made chocolate chip cookies at the kids club.

At this point, I wanted to go back to our room, and take in all of the sights from our verandah.  However, our room had not been cleaned yet.  I felt upset, and then I felt bad because I knew I was being selfish and had a bad attitude.  So we went to another Doug Jones talk instead.

(BTW, that’s not Doug Jones, just a random person standing up).  After the talk, we checked back into our room, and it was still not done.  This is not a complaint about our stateroom host–he was wonderful.  And busy.  I just had expected him to read my mind, which I realized was unreasonable.

I grabbed a couple of sandwiches from Daisy DeLites, a quick service counter, and sat on Deck 4 with D.  Trent and his cohort passed by, and D struck up a conversation with him about Australia.

This time when we went back to our room, it was ready!

We received our prize from the Anna’s Chocolate Chase scavenger hunt that we had completed the day before.

I bundled up, and had my binoculars and camera ready at hand.

Look at how smooth that water is!

P1060669

I was really excited when I spotted my first iceberg!

Such a pretty blue

Soon we were coming upon a hanging glacier, which we had learned about from Doug Jones.  I told D he had to go pick up the kids from the kids club so they could see it.  They missed eating their chocolate chip cookies, but they were not too disappointed since I promised we would order some through room service later.

Then we went to Deck 9 to pick up some food for lunch.

P1060694

They were passing out pea soup in bread bowls, so I nabbed one.

P1060695

We also picked up some shwarma (weirdly on a tortilla), pizza, a hamburger and chicken tenders and had a mish mash lunch.

P1060701

We picked up a few desserts from Cabanas and went back to our verandah to take in more of the views.

The kids chose green jello with marshmallows–haha!  Looking at it now, the marshmallows mirrored the little icebergs floating in the water that was now becoming more greenish:

We would be approaching the Dawes Glacier soon!
