Cabrillo Way Marina
Visiting friends at their boat. Nice clean Marina full of nice boat. Big thanks to our hosts sharing their boat with us.
Royal Caribbean International
Most photos submitted were early first day before most had boarded. Only crowded picture posted is the horrible disembarkment process.
We booked this cruise 8 months in advance. Due to emailed discounted excursions we booked a couple. Just weeks before the trip we got the RC app and tried to book onboard complimentary RipCord, WiveRider and Puzzle (escape room) all spots were booked. 2nd day on cruise more slots opened for sale at $50 for 2 min.
In Seattle check in went fast. We boarded and tried to get food but WindJammer had already closed so we went to our room. Very clean and well appointed.
Continued to explore the very crowded ship. We tried the SeaPlex (activities) area. Super crowded with long lines for everything. Thought maybe sit in a jacuzzi. All crowded and people wanting to get in.
I lead this part about dinning with the staff was amazing everywhere. Buffet was PACKED always. Seating difficult if available all meals. Specialty restaurants cost more $$ but you can get in for average food. Main dinning room and service was good. Food was OK. Not much flavor and appetizers were better than meals.
Again staff everywhere was great but food was subpar and everywhere is super crowded.
Since we can’t get to any activities tried the gym. Lots of cardio but a little difficult to get on machines and get the few weights.
The most disappointing part of the trip was getting off the boat in Vancouver. They give you a schedule and gathering point to wait for your time. We had breakfast and arrived at our gathering point at scheduled exit time. No announcements are being made. I went to ask at the exit gangway and stairs are blocked and we were told to go back. It felt like the episode on Titanic where they locked those not worthy downstairs.
I returned to our gathering point with our group. An hour past our exit time and no instructions we decided to line up to exit. We got off and and into the luggage pick up area. Super crowded. They were on 17 exit baggage and were supposed to be on 33. Again we were roped off and YELLED at by several staff. This was so disorganized. Some people’s luggage would arrive, they would move for it then more YELLING to get back and unable to get you luggage that is right there. Another hour later they release our corralled area. Most of our group got there luggage but some luggage was missing amongst our group. We asked and got no help. We took it upon ourselves to walk through other group numbers. We found our properly labeled missing luggage in other numbered group areas.
Now that we have our luggage 2 hours after the scheduled time we try to follow the signs for Uber pick up. Signs say one way staff instructed to go another way. Ultimately another guest showed us the way about a half mile away from the port down the street and over two blocks in the rain.
Overall i think the only way to see Alaska is on a cruise. Expect to have great service on boat but subpar food. Crowds everywhere with the the inability to participate in most activities. Lots of specialty restaurants available at an additional cost that they have people out trying to sell you. They were empty the first few days but more busy as people get frustrated with the inabilities to find seating at the included WindJammer buffet, Two70 and the Solarium cafe. We asked staff if it’s always this crowded and they said the next scheduled cruise had an additional 400 on it. I can’t even imagine.

Metropolitan Cafe
Just arrived in Seattle. Check in to the hotel and ready for lunch. Just around the corner from our hotel.
Not crowded and greeted with a smile. Simple seating inside and out. Just ordered 1/2 sandwich and soup. Looks simple but both sandwiches were amazing. Would have liked a little more substance in the soup but well flavored.
Easy choice and fast.

St. Peter
Nice small church. Their claim to fam is there clock is the largest in Europe measuring in at 28’. Cool to see if in the area but don’t go out of your way. So much to see walking endlessly up and down the streets aimlessly.
