I just returned yesterday morning from a two-week cruise in Alaska.On May 24 in Juneau with Orca Enterprises (Capt Larry) I saw about five different humpbacks. Two of the five gave us a 'tail flip'. On May 26 in Sitka Bay I saw about five Orcas right off the port side of our ship as we cruised away from the beautiful port of Sitka. They were very close to the ship, and the only Orcas that were spotted during the two weeks I was on board the Carnival Spirit.On Jun 1 I saw one humpback from the ship as we cruised into Skagway around 06:00. I watched that one whale for about 1/2 hour as we approached the harbor.While I have seen more whales on a previous cruise in Sep 2000, I feel very fortunate with the sightings during the past two weeks. And, lots of sea otters were cruising College Fjords on May 29 with their pups. Binoculars are a must for an Alaskan cruise.Enjoy the journey!!
