shadowmeboy Posted November 29, 2022 Author #201 Share Posted November 29, 2022 So with the delay, they were scrambling to get activities to fill the day. Comedian Jon was able to put together another Family Friendly Show. Note: Here is the first Family Friendly Show he did Cruise director introducing Jon We talked with Comedian Al Park after Jon's show. He said he didn't have enough material to throw together another show last minute, and he applauded Jon for his ability to throw it together. He said that it takes a lot of time to put together a quality show. This is why I love supporting comics onboard, and appreciate NCL bringing them aboard.

On our way from Trace & Maria's we ran into their butler. We talked with him a few minutes and mentioned we were going to play some more games after dinner. He said he would bring some desserts and we asked him to bring some milk to go with it. There they are! Shrimp Louie Bruschetta Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Boston and Red Leaf Lettuce Salad Citrus Glazed Seared Salmon 3-Cheese Baked Ziti Roasted Prime Rib Dessert Menu We all looked at it but politely refused. We weren't in the mood! 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trace is like I knew you all were up to something when you all refused Dessert. We got a good chuckle over that. We called it a night and headed back to our cabin for our final night aboard the Spirit. -- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowmeboy Posted December 2, 2022 Author #208 Share Posted December 2, 2022 After Ivar's, we headed to the Seattle Aquarium to use another part of our Seattle Citypass. Note: The construction across the street is building a plaza that will extend down from Pike Place Market and go down to the waterfront. This will make traversing between the two easier. Not sure what the timeline is, but this will be a good option for cruisers in Seattle. Huge fish tank This fish doesn't look too thrilled with me taking its picture! He isn't even smiling! .

shadowmeboy Posted December 6, 2022 Author #220 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park It almost looks like Mt Rainier is being lifted by the cranes. This ship was unloading sand from the ship to the barge. The boat nearest to us, is the fast passenger ferry operated by Kitsap Transit between Bremerton and Seattle. It's half the time of the Washington State Ferry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted December 6, 2022 Author #221 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Vigor Shipyards is building a new Washington State Ferry. This is the Ferry Kennewick. Vigor Shipyards also has Navy contracts. This green barge is headed to Alaska. There are containers and other items on the top, and rail cars destined for the Alaska Railroad are loaded on the bottom. This barge will head to Whittier, where the rail dock is. Love this shot!

shadowmeboy Posted December 6, 2022 Author #224 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Catching Light Rail to head back to the hotel Some cool cats there! Still lots of mask wearing on the light rail. I respect their choice to wear one if they so choose. I was glad to finally get away from them. We went to the Rock Pizzeria. Cinnamon cheesy bread appetizer Maria got a salad. We all enjoyed our choices. Heading back to the hotel for the night. -- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
