The sun was just beginning to rise when I woke up on Day 6 of our Alaska cruise aboard the Norwegian Encore. I quietly stepped out onto our balcony, trying not to wake Paulette, and was greeted by the first clear skies we'd seen in nearly a week. Ketchikan, "The Salmon Capital of the World," lay before us, bathed in the soft, golden light of early morning. We arrived at the port at 7:00 am, and from our vantage point on the balcony, I could see the flurry of activity as passengers began disembarking for their various shore excursions. It was partly sunny, a welcome change from the five consecutive days of clouds and drizzle. Glimpses of blue sky peeked through the breaking clouds, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of renewed energy for the day ahead.
