VANCOUVER TO ALASKA

So we toured western Canada by coach and train and now it was time to board the ship for Alaska. 

It was a mammoth exercise getting 2000 passengers on the ship within a few hours. Our tour guide organised us to be in the first groups to get on board. It was a busy time with luggage and US customs (fingerprints and photograph). Due to all that excitement I didn't get to take a photo of the ship. When we finally got to our cabin I managed to snap a pic of us leaving Vancouver harbour.

This is the ship, the Holland America's Zuiderdam docked in Skagway, Alaska. 

Our cabin with a veranda.

One of the dining rooms at the back of the ship with magic views changing every minute.

The atrium.

Before dinner our group of friends met in the Explorer's Lounge and listened to beautiful music.

After dinner we took in a show.

As it got cooler the roof over the pool was closed and the pool heated. We didn't have the urge to take off our clothes but many families and children did swim.
