Oct. 8, 2023: Yesterday was a sea day. In the morning, the ship first cruised around Hubbard Glacier, but the weather wasn't good; it was foggy and not very picturesque. The weather worsened in the afternoon with strong winds and high waves, and even the deck was closed. We spent the time in the gym and attended a concert.

Early this morning, we woke to find the ship docked at Seward, Alaska. We had been here before during the summer tourist season when it was bustling with people and various tourist activities. However, today, it was deserted, with nothing around. After breakfast, we quickly disembarked and walked along the seaside to the town center, but we couldn't find a single coffee shop. The tourist season ended in early October, and most businesses and restaurants were closed. The pedestrians on the streets were all from our ship. It was a bit disappointing, and by the time we returned to the ship, it was already lunchtime. While eating, we casually chatted with a few fellow passengers. It is our ship’s last stop in the United States, and next, we'll be heading towards the Bering Sea with some weather concerns.

十月八号：昨天一整天在海上，早上船先来到Hubbard 冰川转一圈。因为天气不好，雾蒙蒙的不怎么好看。下午天气越来越差，风大，浪大，都不让去甲板了。那就用健身房，演唱会来消磨时间。

今天一早醒来发现船已停靠在阿拉斯加的苏厄德（Seward)。这地方以前我们也来过，当时是夏天，旅游的旺季。人多，有各种各样旅游项目。但今天这里是冷冷清清，什么都没有。早餐后我们赶紧下船，沿着海边往镇中心走了一圈，都没找到一家咖啡馆。十月初旅游季节已过，大部分商家餐厅都关门了。路上行人都是我们船上的游客。有点失望，回到船上已经是午餐的时间。边吃边和几位游客聊天。这是美国最后一站，接下来要为过白令海担忧。
