After I got on the ship I went to my room and started to unpack. I am an unpacker....I like to "move in" to my room as soon as possible. After I unpacked and took a little swing in the hammock on my balcony I headed to the Galley to grab a bite to eat with my friend Regina. The Galley is Virgin's answer to the standard buffet you will find on most cruise lines. You can find a range of cuisines and dishes to suit your taste. This food hall has different stations, each with its specialty and theme. You can order from any of the stations, and either eat at the communal tables or take your food to go. The Galley itself is open 24/7. Some eateries inside operate at specific times. After having a sandwich I popped over to grab an Ice Cream. I loved the ice cream options. They changed slightly each day, but were always creamy and delicious. Up next was the sail away party hosted by the Diva! There was free Champagne flowing, great music and my first introduction to my favorite onboard entertainer, Alejandro - Check him out here - https://www.instagram.com/alejandrothespark?igsh=bzlmMjRteXVrMnRs

We took the Brightline train from Orlando to Miami to start this cruise. It was a first for all four of us and it was not a last. It was a great comfortable ride. We then took an Uber to the Terminal.

Since Virgin Voyages matched my Disney Cruise Line status I was able to board pretty early. The check in was smooth and I was given my bracelet. This is a great piece of technology. It opens the doors, allows you to charge to your room or access your Bar Tab to pay for drinks. It also is what you scan to get on and off the ship.

Once onboard your room is ready right away. Because of this I carried on my luggage instead of giving it to the porters outside of the terminal. Next time I will just drop my luggage off. It was a pain to carry it on myself even though I could take it right to my room and drop it off. It may not be so bad for everyone, but I am an overpacker and had two 50 pound suitcases and a carry on....LOL

My room was great. I did the bidding for an upgraded room and went from an inside room to a balcony room for about $250 more. It was worth it for that Hammock alone.

All Virgin Voyages cabins mix a minimalist design ( think IKEA ) with tech-forward accessories (such as an iPad that controls the A/C, curtains and mood lighting). The look is more plain than you'll find on other cruise lines that feature thick mattresses, fluffy duvets and wood cabinetry in their cabins. I missed the thick mattress.

In the cabins, the bed is interesting. It can transform from a queen bed to twins and can turn into an L-shaped lounging couch. I never opted to have my amazing room attendants do that though. The mattresses are rearranged on a long platform to form various arrangements; any uncovered portion of the platform serves as a nightstand or low table. I did not love this. I also thought the bed was pretty hard. There is a desk/vanity in the standard cabins with a round stool. There is space unit beneath the desk that had a real mini-fridge (this was so nice to keep my water caffe cold - they keep these filled for you) and small shelves. Above is a round mirror and a shelf holding the room-controlling tablet. It was a good room over all.

Since Virgin matched my Disney Cruise Line status I got a letter in my room that explained the benefits. This was a nice touch.

Our last day! We had a full day before heading to the airport at 6pm. I worked this morning and then we did an amazing Trolley tour of Anchorage. We learned about Salmon fishing, Captain Cook and the fault line and eathquakes, we saw float planes too! We had the best tour guide too. After the tour we went back to Glacier Brewhouse for a late lunch before heading to the airport! We are on the plane now and will be home in the morning!

Day 7 - Our final day aboard the Radiance of the Seas. Today we did the best excursion of the trip! We boarded a smaller boat and went right up to the base of the Hubbard Glacier. It was breathtaking (hence the photo overload). After the excuson we went to my sister room to show them the glacier ice from our drinks onboard the little boat. They pulled an Ice hunk out of the water and served it in our drinks. My sister didn't go on the excursion but I wanted her to taste it and see it so er took some back onto the ship. We then went to lunch at Izumi for some amazing asian food. Then it was time for our couples massage. I decided to get my hair washed and dryed. We then spent the next 2.5 hours packing. Since we are doing the land tour and going to 4 hotels in 4 nights I wanted everything separated and repacked neatly.

Day 6 of our Radiance of the Seas Alaska Cruise. Skagway was the port today and we did not book any excursions. We were going to book the trolly ride when we got off the ship, but it was pouring and the trolly can only be booked onboard. After a lot of phone confusion we ending up just shopping and having lunch at the Skagway Brewing Company before sloshing our way back to the ship. Pete had dinner with Alyssa and Brandon at Izumi and I had dinner with Mike and Julie at the buffet. We were joined by Kevin and Austin who were having 1st dinner before going to the dining room for 2nd dinner. LOL We closed the Colony Club down once again! It was such a fun night!
