First stop once onboard the ms. Zaandam - Lido Deck for a veggie burger. The first of many for them on this trip. I didn't eat one until my last day aboard!
Seattle is a great city - we fell in love with it!
The first of many pasta meals! So bright I can't hardly open one eye.
Local fishing boats
Seattle skyline - our hotel was by the Space Needle and we had walked all the way down to the stadiums (on the right side of Ryan & I) the night before.
2 or 3 of us could stand in the bathroom - gigantic! The hose on the left is the hairdryer that got too hot to hold Carrie says.
The Zaandam was christened in 2000 by Mary Kate & Ashley Olson.
The flags look festive for the guests arrival
We walked into a tour of the spa area and got to lay on these heated beds for free - later this would have cost over $100!
Lido deck - pool area - with the top open.
The ship had a music theme. These panels of music were on the stateroom floors. Many of the glass doors had music on them and musical instruments and paintings decorated the halls. My kind of ship!
The organ in the main lobby area. Small and made out of aluminum - Carrie said it sounded more like chimes when she heard it play.
Rotterdam dining room
The best library any of us had seen on a ship. Great selection of books and games to check out and nice places to read and play games. We spent a lot of time there.
Lido deck buffet! Carrie is standing by our friendly ice cream server Ellie. C & I liked the coconut ice cream best! Mom - you would have LOVED it!
Walking out on the windy deck while we're pulling away from Seattle through Prince William Sound and beyond.
Ryan's serves were quite powerful going with the wind. Ryan & Ryan played 3 hours straight of tennis toward the end of the week and fell on the slippery wet and windy deck several times!
We followed this Royal Caribbean ship the whole way to Juneau.
It was so windy Carrie's camera strap wouldn't stay on. Stay tuned on Facebook for a great video of us trying to stay standing up in the wind.
Relaxing in the library****
The following are the only pics I took on Saturday - our day at sea - due to how puny I felt. Look at Carrie's pictures of how much our ship was going up and down in the rough seas! I felt horrible and so did most of the ship. It was so bad that they ran out of some kinds of dishes because of all of the room service going to sick people. They gave out LOTS of green apples to those feeling sick too - its supposed to help your stomach settle. Meclizine became my best friend.
Ryan & Carrie ordered room service.
Pasta primavera was our fall-back food when everything else wasn't good or wasn't vegetarian.
1/2 of Ryan's 2 mashed potato servings. It was funny to see how many people they thought were eating by how many silverware they brought us. Usually they brought us too many! You'll see more views of the room in later days when it was more put away.
