This morning we had the weekly crew drill - it was freezing out on the decks! We docked in Skagway early but I had to take my Safety Quiz, move rooms (I’m now rooming with our awesome trombonist, Lauren) and go to tech rehearsal for a new show on board called “Live at Sky.”
I finally got out to Skagway around 6pm and was met by raging winds and our coldest weather yet! The average temperature in July is 58 degrees. Whoo. Skagway (population: 872) is much different than our previous ports – it’s the northern most we’ve been, and its known for its hiking by the Yukon Valley. They literally had to build a road to get from the cruise docks to the town. It’s very tiny BUT there’s a STARBUCKS!! Well, not a Starbucks exactly, but some store that BREWS and SELLS Starbucks coffee. My grande latte was about a bagillion dollars but it was totally worth it =) I walked around some and saw some cute little stores (all of which were closed by now). My favorite sign: OPEN 10-5ish. Again, welcome to Alaska. I’ve been told there’s some pretty spectacular hiking in Skagway so I might need to gear up for that in the coming weeks.
I’ve been enjoying a lot of great music on board and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to enjoy such great entertainment 24/7! And that my job is to play the piano. Yay.
