Alaska Cruise/On Board the Zaandam
Zaandam at Pier 91
We took a taxi from our hotel to Pier 91 where the Zaandam was waiting for us. Checking in at the pier went very smooth with a very short line. After on board we explored the ship a little and then it was time to set sail. We watched as the Seattle skyline dissappeared behind us.
Good-bye Seattle
Our luggage is there somewhere!
Then it was time for the mandatory drills. But you no longer are required to take your life-jackets with you, which was much nicer.
We did the anytime dining on this cruise. And I have to say the first night the staff seemed a little confused and unorganized with the anytime dining. But the food was fantastic.
The show the first night was ‘meet the crew and dancers’ night. They also had games involving the audience which was halarious. The Cruise Director so entertaining all by himself that he could have his own act.
After the show we found that there were at least 3 different places we could go to listen to music or dance. I was pleasantly surprised at the options.
