Living Life In Canada

I am starting to write this post the evening of the first sea day on the Norwegian Sun on June 20 2025. We left Vancouver yesterday at 5pm and have been sailing all day today.  I only have 150 minutes of free wifi so I am being careful on how much I am using. I don’t want to upgrade the    cost is reasonable but I am enjoying being forced not to scroll on my phone. YouTube videos will be posted in the future when I have data. Sorry for the lack of editing on this post, I am posting from the ship after a full day and trying to conserve wifi and the sea has been rough today.  The days have already been full. I had a full day in Vancouver before the cruise. My friend from Edmonton flew on the next day. We both dont think it was enough time. If I do another cruise I would add 2 or 3 days in the port.

I am going to Vancouver because I got a free cruise. Well a free inside room I paid a lot to upgrade to a balcony so it was more like 50% off but still a good deal. Hotel prices in Vancouver are astronomical now it is actually cheaper to go on a cruise. I had a choice of any Norwegian cruises but right now I am hesitant to fly through the US. The only round trip cruise that doesn’t require flying through the US was Vancouver to Alaska. I had heard Alaska cruises are really good and I am okay going on a boat. I am going on the Norwegian sun which is an older ship and has been sold so this is the last round trip Vancouver Alaska sailing I didn’t want to give that opportunity up....
