Vancouver to Honolulu

Neptune Suite 7074
| We flew to Vancouver the day prior to embarkation and stayed at the Fairmont Waterfront hotel at Canada Place. We upgraded to a concierge lounge floor room which included complimentary hot buffet food and drinks. We nestled in and did not have to go hunting a meal - highly recommended! |
| Next Morning we walked across the street to Canada Place - the cruiseship dock - and boarded the Noordam for our 7 Day Southern Pacific Crossing. |
| Our taste for the Suite Life had not faded so our stateroom was a Neptune Suite We sailed out of Vancouver with moonlight and Canada behind us. |
| The lovely weather we left behind in Vancouver did not last very long. We encountered a big Pacific storm that was not forecast - even the Captain was surprised, he said. We encountered 70mph winds and 30 foot waves and lots of squalls. At one point the main pool splashed out of the enclosure and flooded the pool deck, leaking water through the ceiling to the staterooms below. The crew handled this all with calm precision, though lots of people who had motion sickness were not doing very well. To make matters worse, a passenger suffered a major health crisis and needed immediate evacuation. Unfortunately we were in the middle of the Pacific in a nasty storm and an airlift was not possible. So the Captain spiked the throttle and booked us to Honolulu where we arrived a day early and were able to disembark our sick passenger safely. |

| We left the ship which was continuing on a 40 day cruise to Australia. We relocated to Waikiki at the Hyatt Place just a couple of blocks from the beach. At this point I caught someone's cold and was in pretty poor shape to enjoy our tours. However, I saved the best for last. We flew home on Hawaiian Air in first class - Wow - best flight ever! |
