August 11: Alaskan Cruise Departure

Got up in our Vancouver hotel and after breakfast headed for the cruise terminal.  Because my Prius could not handle four people and all our luggage, we also got a taxi.  I followed the taxi through downtown Vancouver, weaving in and out of traffic.  We were there in no time.

We checked in for our cruise.  Our cabins were near the bow; the dining room near the stern.  For three meals a day, we had to walk one mile per day.  No problem for us, but it was for my dad, so we had to get a wheelchair to move him around the ship.

We departed under sunny skies at 5 PM.
