Adventure Coordinators Insider Tip:
When I did this trip I got up one morning at 4 (the sun high in the sky had me think it was breakfast time). When I realized my mistake I decided to go up to the bridge anyway. Just in time to see a pod of orca swim alongside the ship. Lesson learned: nature doesn't go by a clock.
