Seattle, Washington – 8 May 2026

Location maps 2.30, 3.30 and docked.

Had a dreadful night, don’t think I slept more than a couple of hours in short snatches. Anyway, the last morning of cruise 2 & the first night of cruise 3 so didn’t get much done as had to wait around for a new door key, wait for the new room to be ready and then wait to meet the new room attendant. Funny thing is the room is exactly the same configuration as the other two were. However, I am on the other side and at the front, so now the pool is basically above my head and the food is at the other end of the ship. I’m also travelling backwards when sitting at the laptop.

Here’s the panorama from the balcony.

It’s still cold and overcast, so here’s hoping the cloud clears a bit, things look so much better with a bit of sun!

Here is a photo of Seattle retreating in the background and a few photos of the land we’ve been travelling past.

And here is a photo I took last night as the light was finally fading, you can see mountains amongst the clouds!!!
