Live from the Golden Princess 8/29/2009

We are not quite live yet but we will be leaving for the ship in about 40 minutes.

This will be our first time on the Golden and I believe the 10th time to Alaska.

We will be sailing out of pier 91 in Seattle. It is also known as Smith's Cove. The pier is locate a little north of the downtown area.

Boarding was pretty smooth. We left home at 10:15 and were in our cabin at 11:35. After a quick snack at the Horizon Court we began to explore the ship. By the time we got to the International café we were ready for a snack. More exploring and ice cream up on deck. We seem to be setting a pattern.
We have traditional late seating for dinner at a table for 8. We have one couple from Oregon, one couple from Southern California and a father/daughter that lives about a mile from us back home.
The ship Golden Princess is rather large but we are finding our way around pretty well. We have noticed that the ship has a noticeable amount of movement even in calm seas.
We had a beautiful sunrise this morning before heading into a fog bank. The horns have been sounding all morning.

Hey John!

Happy to hear everything is going well!


Since you are "testing" many food venues how about a run down on the variety and quality?

Wonder why she's moving so much in calm seas? Maybe doesn't have the stabilizers deployed?

Have a great day! (no more fog)

Hi Bliz Glad you are finding food and hope relaxation. How kool to meet others from home

My Signature Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
