Sapphire Princess! Nelson, Juan, Sean and I took a three day cruise from Los Angeles to Vancouver as a quick, relaxing vacation. Princess was repositioning the ship from Australia to Alaska. Some of the passengers started the trip from Sydney… 31 days later to Los Angeles, 3 days to Vancouver, and some continuing on for 7 days in Alaska. That’s a bit of a long time to me… I liked the 3 day cruise.We went to the top of the bridge to watch the ship leave the port and then explored the ship a bit.
The week prior to the trip, we had some cold weather in Los Angeles. However, as we started the cruise, we had wonderful weather for the entire cruise and in Vancouver and Seattle.The pool and jacuzzi was one of our first destinations. Okay, so we were there every day.
Nelson arranged for us to get a tour of the Bridge with Capt. Heikki (or something like that – from Finland).
Sean liked the cruise – eat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, sleep. He was out cold here. I took a nap next to him, then got a refill on my diet coke and a danish from the buffet. He was still sleeping when I returned. Two of the ship’s staff were dressed as pirates and took a picture with Sean… Sean still doesn’t know that even happened.
We managed to eat a lot, always trying to get a table with a window to watch the sea going by.
We would have breakfast, then lunch a few hours later. Tea started at 3:30 and dinner later that night.
Sean, that last night, realized you could order two entrees. So, he created surf and truf - steak and king crab legs. Mind you, this is after the appetizer and soup... then entrees, then dessert.
After leaving Los Angeles on Wednesday, we arrived in Vancouver on Saturday morning. Vancouver is a pretty city (so much more than the Los Angeles harbor wher we left).
We were off to explore Vancouver for a little bit and then drive down to Seattle.
