Alaska Cruise, Day 1: Seattle


Weather: Sunny, 16 degree Celsius. Sunset: 21:58
We planned this cruise from the end of last year and finally, here is our balcony room for the next 7 days at Diamond Pearl from Norwegian Cruise Line.

From our balcony, we could see Seattle City with Edgewater Hotel (famous as The Beatles stayed there in 1964) in front and Space Needle the city icon in the background.

Sunday is busy day for cruise port in Seattle. Here we could see Ms. Oosterdam from Holland-American Line when it's just moving out from Seattle Port.

And here also we could see Sapphire Princess from Princess Cruise was leaving the port. Unfortunately we rushed to board our ship and forgot to take her picture. We will make sure to get some pictures later.

This is swimming pool area at Deck 12 of the ship. We were wondering whether later any people will use this facilities as for us from Singapore, the temperature is a bit too cold.


After exploring the ship, we came back to our room and what is that? Yes, additional bed popped up from the ceiling :). Our kids started arguing that both of them want to sleep there ha... ha... ha...
