Jo and I traveled to Seattle in the motor home while Jo’s sisters Arla and Barbara, with husband Mike, flew to Seattle the day before the cruise began on July 29, 2011. The ship was Rhapsody of the Seas owned by Royal Caribbean. We stored the RV in an RV park in Bothell WA and engaged a limo to take us and the other three to Seattle’s Pier 91.

Shipboard “sale” of warm clothing around pool on a cool day! This was one of many such ”sales”.

Juneau was our first port of call. Arla and I visited Mendenhall Glacier, near Juneau, which has been receding for several years. Large waterfall is at right . The other three took a float plane ride over glaciers.

The waitress sure keeps busy at the Red Dog.
