The weather continued to get worse as we headed further south. In fact, the wind and waves were so bad, we skipped Ketchikan completely. We found out after our return home that the next day, at least one ship broke free from its moorings in Ketchikan the day after we canceled. So, it was for the best that the Captain didn't attempt to make it.
That left us with 2 sea days to end our cruise. We did a little gambling in the casino, and a lot of relaxing and catching up on movies we had had not seen. Among the movies we saw were Oppenheimer, A Bridge of Spies, Conclave, and a number of older Tom Hanks movies. The land tour before the cruise was so exhausting, we were very happy to spend this time by ourselves relaxing. I cannot imagine doing this tour in the reverse order, and doing the cruise first.
