Well it's about time Shelley and I took a real vacation. We took the 7-day Alaskan cruise leaving out of Seattle.- Seattle
- At Sea
- Juneau
- Glacier Bay
- Sitka
- Ketchikan
- Victoria (Canada)
- Seattle
Not much action the first day other than the obligatory life vest drill and the great views of the Seattle skyline on the way out of port. Oh and did I mention that we both consumed about 9000 calories just for walking onto the cruise ship? Well now I mentioned it.Let me introduce you to the ship. We are on the Amsterdam, a really big boat from the Holland America cruise line. Actually, it may be one of the smaller boats sailing the Alaskan inside passage.
First impressions?
It's a bit early for a full review of the cruise, but so far, I have to say that the state room seems bigger than other ocean view state rooms on other ships, and the food is better. "What was the first thing you ate when you got on the ship?" you ask. It was the prime rib. I'm sure there was other food, but I was in a food coma by about 5:00 p.m.
