You got to see whales *from your room*?!? How magnificent is that! [Loved the shipboard whale-account too, but this one's special.]
I've only been on one whale-watch cruise, out of Rye, New Hampshire - we saw some fin whales, sometimes fairly close, but mostly just a spout and a glimpse of hide. But on the way back a big school of dolphins decided to escort us, and they were leaping all around the boat, often within arm's reach of the rails; everybody on board was grinning like idiots the whole time...
