Officially the first day of the cruise. I started the day with light trinket shopping, repacking my luggage and checking out of the Gilmore Hotel. I dropped off my luggage at the hospitality location and ate king crab legs for lunch. Before boarding the ship a quick briefing told us that we weren’t going to follow a set itinerary…. which I actually had expected since I had spoken to an UnCruise representative the day before leaving…..

We saw a bunch of seals hitching a ride on the chunks of ice and the ice itself came in interesting shapes. At the end of the day we enjoyed being anchored at a beautiful location called Wood Spit.
