Day 1: Friday morning we ate a leisure breakfast at the hotel and took a bus to the docks to board the ship. We got there a few minutes before they started boarding and didn't have to wait long to get on board. Our stateroom wasn't ready for us to dr
op off our carryons, but, we did have an opportunity to tour the ship. The process of getting everyone's luggage delivered to the staterooms takes a few hours. To entertain everyone there was food!!! A buffet was set up near the swimming pool as well as a buffet in the dining room. The weather was warm and the sun was shining. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. We took a few pictures of the ship, harbor and the Seattle skyline. Seattle looks like a great city and we want to go back to the Pacific coast to tour Washington and Oregon. I guess that will be a future trip to plan.
We had our mandatory life boat drill just before we set sail. I suppose it went well--at least we did not have to repeat it. After the drill we went back to our room to store the life vests and decided to tour some more of the ship before we set sail. So far the day and the cruise had gotten off on a good note and we were having fun.

The Cruise set sail at 3:52 PM and the cruise line had a sail away party as we were leaving Seattle. Good food, great beer and a live band what else can you ask for. Again the weather was great and we got to visit with some very friendly people. In the slide show, the individual I am talking to in the deck chair was a retired state trooper from Pennsylvania and had been in the military so we had a lot in common. Later, we discovered that he and his wife’s room was near our dinner partners who were from Fairborn, Ohio.
We attended the show on the first night of the cruise which was the Zaandam Singers and dancers. The show was titled "Let Us Entertain You" and they did a great job of entertaining us. We also attended a champagne reception and went to the Crow's Nest to listen to a live band called "Rachel and the HalCats
