Well, we made it on the ship very quickly. We arrived at the port right around noon and made it through customs, check-in, and security, boarding, and were in our state room in less than 45 minutes.
Safety drills went well…Jane put on a little fashion show, as you can see in the pics I post today. I also took a picture of the picture they took of us when we boarded…this is a lot cheaper than paying $20 for it.
Wow, what a beautiful ship and a beautiful day to leave on. We had a great clear skies and took lots of pics on our way from Vancouver. Still pretty warm, 65 or so (that’s farenheight if you were wondering)
Yesterday afternoon we went to a raffle in the spa and Jane won a coupon for 30 percent off some sort of seaweed facial..but those are really a bargain at any price..That is booked for tomorrow. Did I mention how nice her toes look after the pedicure this morning?
Awesome stars last night. All we could see at one point was the stars and two other cruise ships off in the distance.
Today the motion of the ocean got to us a bit in the morning, but we dealt with it and things soon calmed down a bit. At 10:00 we went to some shore shopping thing where they promised free-bees, it was pretty bad so we left before it ended. After that went to the special reception they had for honeymoon or anniversary couples. There were four each celebrating their honeymoons and their 50th anniversaries. Fun…free champagne and wedding cake.
By the way, you should see the scenery we are passing while this is being written…amazing!
So far we have only lost about $30 on video poker and slots. I had to rent a tux so we can have the nice dinner tonight and on some other night…they wouldn’t just rent me a sport jacket.
Bingo tonight then maybe watching the dark knight in the cinema, we will see. Tomorrow we head to our first port and do our first excursion. It is the one where we go on the ship that used to be on the deadliest catch. Back on the ship at 3:00 to sail on north.
Maybe we will have cell phone service once we get to Alaska. Miss you all. M&J

Sounds like so much fun! Thanks for the updates!!!
ReplyDeleteStill greatly enjoying your travel adventures. Jane looked great in her new outfit. Can't wait to see her after the seaweed facial and can't wait to see Matt in his tux!
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Mom and Dad
Say hi Sig and the crew for me...I think Jane should stay behind for ophelia season.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope Jane was taking the muster drill seriously! By the way stay away from the art shows onboard.

Awesome blog guys! Funny anecdotes (e.g. the guy who does NOT work in the visitor center, and the bargain seaweed facial). And I love the descriptions of the food - yum!
