Alaskan Cruise Part 2: Leaving and our ship

We boarded our ship on Sunday, July 19th, and set sail. We had been on one cruise before, but our boat last time was teeny compared with this one. It was massive! We enjoyed walking around seeing everything. Our two favorite things about the ship: 1) They had this huge screen outside that they called "Movies Under the Stars" and they showed new movies on it throughout the week. Some days it was really cold, but it was still a blast to bundle up and watch the movie. They would also play the Wii on it too. This was a lot of fun! 2) The Lotus Spa--This was our little splurge. We joined the thermal spa on the ship for the week. We relaxed in steam rooms, saunas, aroma rooms, and hot beds. This was especially nice since it was so cold to go and heat up in the spa for a little while each day. We loved our Star Princess ship!!
