Sea Day 4 – September 27, 2024
We were all up early – the clocks falling back an hour for three nights in a row on top of the two hour change we had to get to Seattle has our bodies still a little confused. The nice thing is that we’ll have a late night tonight, so hopefully that will help everything Continue reading

Sea Day 3 – September 26, 2024
Another lovely day at sea! Unfortunately, my notes have gone into the great digital beyond, so today’s entry won’t be as detailed as the others. But – I do know that another beautiful day dawned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and I started the day with a walk around deck 10. (Sadly, deck Continue reading

Sea Day 2 – September 25, 2024
I woke up early this morning – around 6:30, and that was after we turned our clocks back an hour. The sun was barely up and I enjoyed wandering the ship and taking pictures. We were still feeling the motion of the ocean. Prior to sailing, they had tied the foosball tables down! I also Continue reading

Sea Day 1 – September 24, 2024
At some point during the night, the ship moved from swaying softly into full on rocking. Mom and I were up first this morning and had a lovely breakfast in Triton’s. Off to Azure for Bingo! Jenny from England is super entertaining! While I got to stand for one of the games, none of us Continue reading

Welcome Aboard! Monday, September 23, 2024
After an early night last night, we were up bright and early this morning! We made it out the door around 7am to head across the street to McD’s for breakfast. (They had the sausage McMuffin available as an official meal, at home it has to be purchased a la cart.) We may have stopped to check Continue reading

All aboard! Sunday, September 22, 2024
Another early morning! Our Lyft picked us up at 6am to take us to Seattle’s King Station for our train ride to Vancouver. While we’re still not sure where the 6 people would have been seated in the Lyft XL we ordered (which is one of the defining factors of a Lyft XL), we were amazed that Continue reading

Travel day! Saturday, September 21, 2024
Up early – it’s travel day! Scott picked us up at 6:30, had us to Love Field before 7 and we were seated at Maggiano’s for breakfast by 7:30. After breakfast, we made our way to the gate for an on-time departure on our non-stop to Seattle. A nice easy flight, with a few bumps along the Continue reading

So how did we fill the time while we wait?
We joined a Facebook group of others on the cruise, as of a week before the cruise, we were almost 500 strong! Lots of ideas and information were exchanged, vlogs and blogs shared, and Fish Extender groups created (Secret Pal exchanges of small gifts while onboard). We did decide against some of the other activities Continue reading

The next adventure!
This trip has been in the planning for quite a while. We originally planned to sail on a 9-night Celebrity cruise from Vancouver to Honolulu. Then – we went on Allison’s graduation cruise and I bought myself quite the souvenir – a Disney Vacation Club contract for Aulani, which came with enough bonus points that Continue reading
