Embarkation morning

We passed some time sitting outside in the sun that Saturday morning just watching the world go by.
The hotel is the only one on Canada Place where the ships tie up so 5,000 passengers getting of would be replaced with 5,000 getting on. There was an endless parade of tour busses picking up or disgorging new passengers.

The clock was ticking towards our anticipated transfer from the hospitality of the hotel to the hospitality of the ship.


The ship from our room on the 19th floor. She would be unloading the trash from last week's cruise and storing 2 week's worth of provisions to feed us and then the following week's return cruise from Whittier, Alaska.


Our stateroom was the one to the right of center on the 2nd complete row down, with no cabins below us. The promenade deck is the lower one with the lights on just above the name of the ship.
That is deck 7 and we are on deck 10, known as Caribe Deck.


On the other side of the pier, Holland America's Zuiderdam, also bound for Alaska.

Here's some video before we joined the ship....
