The captain announced that because of safety concerns connected with high winds, the call at Juneau was cancelled. So TSH and Diva missed the glacier there (again - in 2008, the visit to that glacier took place in such wet miserable weather that they did not appreciate it at all). However, there was a massive bonus. They cruised along an extremely scenic passage, surrounded by endless jagged and snowy peaks, with glimpses of several glaciers. If Silver Shadow had called at Juneau, this part of the journey would have happened in the dark. The scenery also made up for the fjord cruising they missed due to bad weather in Norway earlier in the year. In 2008, TSH and Diva did not appreciate the scenery here at all - it was grey, cloudy and drizzly. Today it is bright, with minimal white cloud. Now they understand what Alaska scenery is all about.
A minor kerfuffle in the bathroom when a clean bath towel dropped into the bath water. No-one is quite sure how it happened but only Diva was in the room at the time. Fortunately the suite is well equipped with extra towels. (NB this bit was written by Diva)
