Day One - Sea Day!

We are approx. 200 Miles North of Seattle on our way to Glacier Bay - our destination for Tomorrow! Holland America boasts the largest number of cruises to visit Glacier Bay each season, as one of the original cruise lines to open up the Alaska Cruise market to passengers and tourists. The picture you see here is the Seattle Skyline as we sailed from port yesterday afternoon - it was spectacular!

Last night we spent the time getting to know the ship and familiarizing ourselves the the "lay of the and" if you will! First of all the ship is BEAUTIFUL! See my previous post for a link to a simple ship tour and you will see what I mean! There are some fabulous new enhancements to this ship and the entire Holland America fleet - collectively called their Signature of Excellence program. One of my favorites is a complete "Culinary Arts Center" designed in conjunction with Food & Wine Magazine. Over 60 chefs will travel on Holland America in 2007 offering once in a lifetime experiences to passengers that enjoy food and wine programs and hands-on learning.

We are lucky enough to have a suite for this trip - and the new enhancements in the cabins and baths are incredible! First of all are the Elemis Amenities and the separate shower and bathtub, with jacuzzi jets! The beds have been upgraded to Euro-Top Mattresses, beautiful bedding and linens - and even a PILLOW MENU! To make sure get exactly what you want or need!

Today we are in meetings with the other Centurion Agency owners and Holland America executives to see what is coming in 2007 - so stay tuned! For now I need to get back into our meetings so I will sign off for now! By the way - the internet here is great, with complete internet cafe AND 6 Wi-Fi Hotspots throughout the ship!

But before I go - I want to give away a $200.00 Ship Board Credit (SBC) to one of our clients or other followers of the blog!

To enter, simple send me an e-mail to:

SBC@TheCruisePlace.com if you are a client of The Cruise Place in Arizona, or
SBC@LegendaryWorld.com if you are a client of Legendary World in California.

I promise some GREAT pictures, and info as we really get into the heart of Alaska!
