Our Wicked Walkabout

At sea…

We slipped the harbour of Seattle in the middle of the night after all was loaded and slowly made it out of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

And we were on our way!

Boy oh boy! for someone who has never been on a cruise, it was certainly an interesting start.

There were two tropical storms that were colliding, leaving massive swells in the wake… and in our path! making for an interesting ride….

I was very thankful that I found the sea sickness patches!

Although the seas were rough, we quickly figured out our way around the ship and discovered our favourite bars and places to hangout!

The night life kept going, even if some of the performers had to sit, instead of standing. They still kept us very entertained.

Finally after three days, the seas settled a bit… but according to the captain, a third storm was following the first two… but only swells of 10 feet! Seemed almost flat calm after the first few days.

We were finally able to get outside to walk the Promenade… and so everyone did!

and to relax around the re-filled pool

The mini pictures continued….

Sometimes not well…

Although the seas made for an interesting first cruise (for me). We had a great time. And the standing joke aboard, everyone was a drunken sailor! Or at least walked like one!
