The weather gets a 5 as it was a perfect day, calm seas and sunshine. Boading was friendly and efficient. We headed out in search of Orcas, spotting sea otter, bald eagles and numerous sea birds along the way. Sadly, Orcas took an unplanned vacation day and we did not see any. Lucky for us, Humpback whales filled in for the Orcas doing a wonderful demonstration of cooperative feeding. They surfaced regularly, giving us all a great view. We went on to see harbor seals, sea lions, puffins and again, many sea birds. Now, the crew could have been discouraged with our no show orcas, but they were not. When not keeping the ship clean or serving drinks, they melded into the groups giving info and personal attention to everyone. The captain had plenty of places to stop ( seriously it is Resurection Bay) and she gave us plenty to see adding a bit of history and geology to our experience. The entire crew gets a 10 as they all went above and beyond to make our day special. Major Marine is top notch, with a great crew and frankly, the cleanest day cruise this regular traveler has ever been on.
