Day 3 was embarkation day and day 4 was a full day at sea. Unfortunately the sunny skies we experienced in Vancouver would not be seen again till we returned 14 days later. For the most part we spent the time exploring the ship, eating and taking in the views.
Our ship was a bit older and didn't have some of the jaw dropping amenities seen on some of the newer ships. Capacity was just under 1000 passengers which is small compared to some of the new ships which was just fine with us.
We had booked an inside cabin which worked out well since the views were mostly clouds and rain and we weren't in the cabin very much.
We were last on a cruise about 30 years ago and then pretty much every thing was included in the price. Now you see the advertised price and you think, hey, that's not too bad. But then you start adding in the extras (which used to be included) and you can get into the stratosphere pretty easily. A balcony cabin, which would have been nice, was one of those sacrifices.
Next up is our first port of call, Ketchikan.
