Edwin liked the buffet the best. I think he just liked the desserts. He had a great time trying all the different kinds of food and desserts. I thought it was fun to have someone wait on you and put your napkin in your lap. Either way, the food on the cruise was very good. We were NOT able to find ice cream at 11:00 p.m. though (my only complaint).
Edwin went on the Zip line at Icy Strait Point. It was billed as the longest zip line. Edwin took a bus up to the top of the mountain where it was FREEZING. He was wearing two coats and he was still cold. They were told to stay together on the trail down to the zip lines as there were bears in the area ... wonderful. Edwin enjoyed the zip line as it was his first time. We found these cute little stuffed eagles and you could have put in a salmon can and mailed back home, so we got an eagle for both Jaden and Hui-Hui.
We stopped at Skagway and Juneau. We took the White Pass and Yukon train to the top of the mountain. We even found a book for Jaden titled "Grandma and Grandpa go on the White Pass and Yukon train", so of course we bought it. In Juneau we went to the fish hatchery and went to the Glacier Visitors Center. Edwin walked toward the glacier (while I tried to find Jaden the perfect souvenir) and saw wild mountain goats ... pretty cool. Of course we went shopping at all the ports.
There was so much to do on the ship. I took a couple of scrapbooking classes. We also played Bingo and watched a man behind us win a 7-day cruise and another lady win a jackpot of over $4,000.00 -- that was very exciting. Edwin went to the gym and used the treadmill (he saw a whale tail in front of him -- the whale's tail just came out of the water). We played goofy golf and Edwin did the rock climbing thing. Here's a quick video of that.
Can't wait until we go again. This should be happening in about a year since it looks like the Low Family will be taking a cruise in August 2010. It will be a great time.
