Diva's Cruising....

WOW…. We’re on the Wines of Washington Cruise…. And what weather we have had! It was fabulous as we left Seattle… So Blue, So comfortable… almost too warm on the deck until the boat was in motion. But, these Diva’s are already hot ladies, so a little more heat… no big deal!
Julie A came by my house where Cyn and I were waiting. Off we went to meet our ship: the MS Amsterdam, Holland America Cruise Line for a three night cruise visiting Victoria and Port Alberni, BC. We were going to met Liz T, Christy T and Debby R, our fellow diva’s also celebrating their big 60 this year. Course, I’m the youngest and don’t turn till the end of the year…. Have to remind them of that…!
So, the three of us started the afternoon with wine on our deck and then some exploring on the ship, which led us to the Crows Nest…. Awesome Bar with the most awesome view….then more exploring, Found our shipmates on the Lido Deck near the pool chillaxing. Then, time for the Emergency Drill…. And, wouldn’t you know our side (port) had the western exposure…. So, as we all were checked in and explained the procuedures, we cooked. As soon as that was over, we head back to our rooms to cool down and watch as the ship left port. So gorgeous… you can tell by the pics.
We were invited to a Wine and Cheese Reception up at the Crows Nest, so we checked that out. Got to see a gorgeous Sunset…..
Okay… well, dinner was yummy, but a bit late… we missed our assigned time cuz of the reception, so we had to wait for an open seating spot to open up…ended up eating about 8:30….
Woke up this morning to a foggy Victoria…. But it’s all suppose to lift and be a comfy 68-70 degrees. Everyone is going out exploring…This morning, Cyn, Jules and I were on the lower deck by 6:45 walking…. Nice, comfy and felt good to get the blood pumping. I’ll check in again later…
