Leaving Vancouver
July 2010
After a breakfast and coffee at Tim Hortons, we went back to Canada Place and boarded the ship, Radiance of the Seas. Later that afternoon, we pulled out of Vancouver Harbor and headed up to the Inside Passage.

We spent most of our time on the helipad. It was the best view on the ship and it was never crowded.

The panoramic elevators were glass on every side.
The first of many spectacular views
It's 9:30 pm PDT and the sun is setting
The passageways make the cabins seem big

My mother wanted this photo because the Centrum was lit in purple
The glass staircase was a cool feature
The ship's stack lit at night. We never saw anyone using the rock climbing wall.
