Paul and Hether's Alaska Cruise - June 2008
Page 1 - Departure, Sitka
In June 2008, Paul and
Hether took a cruise to Alaska on Celebrity Cruise Line's Infinity. This
was our 25th anniversary celebration. We had a wonderful trip; we hope you enjoy
the photos.
▼
We've been on a number of cruise ships, but this is the first we could drive to.
We parked across the street from the Bell Street Pier in Seattle, and walked
aboard. Hether has a big smile, probably because we left the kids behind.
▼
Mustering is a tedious requirement at the start of every cruise. Life jackets
are not becoming to most people.
▼ As
we left Seattle in our wake, we also left the worst weather of the trip
▼
Hether still has a big smile. Other cruise ships are a frequent sight.
▼ Our
cabin was very nice, except for the artwork. It looked like a screen shot of a
bad video card in a computer.
▼ The second day of the
cruise was at sea, a formal dinner night.
▼ Our
ship passed by the fishing boat Joy as we approached Sitka. I guess Joy
is a more appropriate name than Beautiful.
▼
Beautiful would not be inappropriate for Sitka, however.
▼
Sitka was the only port where we tendered in to shore. Hether is looking back at
the Infinity and wondering why there is a huge red arrow pointing to our
stateroom balcony.
▼ The
sign says it all.
▼
Hether and Infinity.
▼ St Michael's Russian
Orthodox Church was in use from 1842 to 1969.
▼ In
the Sitka Marina, we saw a Bayliner Bristol, similar to ours. This one has one
serious heater on board judging from the stack.
