Leaving San Francisco

We boarded the ship around noon and settled in.

The stateroom was quite comfortable and this time I had a balcony. It was often chilly on this cruise so we didn't spend a lot of time out there, but it was nice to have and made the space seem larger.

 

 

 

This is the view from the balcony looking back at San Francisco.

The afternoon we left the fog was quite thick and we couldn't see the Golden Gate Bridge at all. We were able to see the Bay Bridge as we left the dock.

 

Instruction about how to survive disasters is the first (and only) required event. I actually had trouble staying awake for the talk and demonstration.

 

 

The rest of the day we explored the ship and ate. It took most of the cruise to figure out where everything was. We typically got lost and headed to the wrong end of the ship at least once a day.
