We got to the ferry terminal at the 5:30 AM time as we were supposed to and then waited patiently to load and be on our way at 7:30 AM
We had booked reserved seats in the Aurora lounge at the front of the boat. It was great because any time anybody saw something in the water they would point, make a comment, and everybody then knew there was something to see (besides incredible mountain vistas!!)
We saw sea otters,dolphins and probably 6 or more humpback whales including one that breached beside the ferry (unfortunately we only saw the splash-too bad)
At some places the mountains were very close to us and even though the weather was overcast all day there was no rain until it was dark as we arrived in Prince Rupert. A wonderful day with beautiful scenery just as good as going to Alaska (but without the glaciers)
