Last day stills


On the way to College Fjord Carol performed with the small Pop Choir in the Piazza. Afterwards she would change into clothing more suited to the drizzly weather.


The ship approaching Harvard Glacier seen from the comfort of Skywalker's where cocktails and munchies were being served to Suite, Elite and Platinum card holders.



The drizzle softened and we went out to the Skywalker's balcony



The expansive aft decks on the Diamond Princess, more spacious than the other Grand Class ships in the Princess Fleet




One last look before we had to go to dinner in the Savoy.


We walked through the indoor pool on our way to dinner. This is a great thing to have on an Alaskan cruise and something not found on later Grand Class ships like the Crown, Emerald and Ruby nor the new Princess ships-Royal and Regal. 


The ship has a large library and computers if you want to stay in touch with those on land. There are by-minute Internet packages so you'll pay (handsomely) for this access. At that time we, as suite passengers were getting  complimentary unlimited Internet access but that has since been removed from the list of suite "perks". Now with more cruises under our belts (odd saying) we are Platinum card holders and get 150 free minutes each. 



 This is the Captain's Circle desk off the Piazza where you can browse and reserve future cruises. If you want cheap deposits for future cruises (called FCCs) you can get them at $100 per person versus laying down a 20% deposit at the time of booking.
