The maritime exploits of a suburban housewife … and her sister with a camera

Home

Over the years, we sisters (Karin and Lisa-Ann), have been fortunate to indulge in our love of all things maritime. This blog started as a way to share our experiences with family and friends.

Norwegian Encore in Seattle

I made a trip into Seattle, taking the Bainbridge-Seattle ferry, partly because it was the easiest access to my destination, but mostly because I'd get a chance to see the Norwegian Encore docked at Pier 66. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten to charge my camera battery,...

First 2021 cruise ship to leave Seattle

Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas is set to head out on in its simulated cruise (10% capacity, volunteer passengers) to Alaska as required by the CDC for unvaccinated cruises. It's a test of the health protocols. She's currently docked at Pier 91 in Seattle....
