    1. Yes, it appeared they were looking in the windows, and they were particularly responsive when we peaked outside. They were beautiful and fun!

    1. Yes, it seemed magical. It was the last morning of our river cruise. Watched the sun come up, and then looked out a bit later, and there they were--swimming happily along the river and poking their faces at the window. Tee hee.

    1. Hi Tina: Yes, it was a wonderful send-off. The window was up high on the wall. I had to make a special point to step up higher, open the shades and check out the sunrise. And then later I looked out, and there were the swans--so many swans! ♥️

    1. Tee hee. I was wondering the same thing about their thoughts. It was really nifty to, first wake up and see a sunrise in this setting, and then second, to view the swans swimming by after the sun came up. Right there next to us! :)
