Alaskan cruise - day 2 (Saturday, June 5)



Got up and walked down to Denny's for breakfast. Left the hotel in my capris and sandals. Went back after breakfast and put on jeans and tennis shoes. It was cold in Seattle!! It was also sunny and very nice!





We caught a shuttle to the pier about 11:00 a.m. We wanted to get there early and get in line but they sent us on through baggage check and we only had to wait about 30 minutes before boarding the ship. It was huge - or at least that is what we thought until we looked on the other side of the dock and saw the Golden Princess ship and it was massive!!



We couldn't get into our room until 1:30 p.m. so we headed to the Lido Deck. We got lunch and listened to Laura and the HALcats by the pool. It was a pretty good little band!





Before long we were told that our rooms were ready so we took our stuff and dropped it off. I unpacked the carry on bags and then we sat on our balcony watching them load supplies, etc onto the ship.



Later on we had to go through a safety drill on deck by the lifeboats. Ours was lifeboat #9.



We then toured more of the ship and took more pics.















That evening we went to the La Fontaine for dinner. This was my appetizer.



This was Robert's dessert - Baked Alaska.



We went to a show that evening at the "Showroom at Sea".



It was pretty good but by this time the ship was rocking and I could feel some major motion sickness setting in so we headed to our cabin. These scrumptous chocolate covered strawberries were waiting for us in our room - a gift from our agent with Vacations to Go who booked the trip for us.

WOW! It looks like you guys were off to a great start. I hope the motion sickness didn't last.
