Here is a diagram of our room.
It was a nice day when we arrived in Vancouver BC. The mountains were beautiful above the city.
This is a view of Vancouver from the ship
You can just see the back of another ship that was docked next to us.
This is a view taken from the ship looking towards the Port of Vancouver.In Vancouver BC there were lots of things to see.
Float planes were very active with many coming and going because many of the areas on the inland passage are only accessible by plane or boat.
This is a view from our deck looking towards the front of the ship. Each of the partitions is a room and the section sticking out near the front is the control areas of the ship.
This is Marsha playing a 9 hole mini golf game.One of the things we did a lot of was eating. There was a buffet that was open most of the time, two main large dining halls and three specialty restaurants. The specialty restaurants had added charges but all the others were included in the price of the cruise. Plus there were a number of bars, an ice cream parlor (the death by chocolate was delicious), a hamburg-hot dog stand, a pizza parlor and most of it was free except the soft drinks, alcohol, specialty coffees, and ice cream parlor had fees attached.
The buffet had a wide range of items. We enjoyed blueberry cheese blintzes, salmon, roast beef, salads, soups, desserts, etc.
In the dining hall we enjoyed smoked salmon (the salmon was almost like a sushi, very good), shrimp cocktail, spring rolls, and mushroom soup for the appetizers. For the main meal Russ and I had prime rib and baked potato, Marsha had fresh water fish with couscous and asparagus tips. Pam had a puff pastry with lobster & shrimp in it. For dessert we had a strawberry cheesecake, ice cream, and peach cobbler.The ship had about five swimming pools, about 8 hot tubs, a huge promenade with gift shops and often there were musicians playing and you could get your picture taken.
Outside pool with hot tubs, bar, sun deck, ice cream parlor.
This pool was inside with a cover over it. The designs on the posts and curved walls around the pool are all made out of small tiles approx. 1 inch square.
This is the Promenade area with shops, music, the main desk and some of the restaurants were also in this area.
We arrived in Seattle early Saturday morning and enjoyed a good breakfast before disembarking.
We disembarked the ship in Seattle about 9 am and boarded our bus for home.
