We just returned from a fantastic vacation. Travelling in our group was myself and 2 children (14 and 12). We flew out of Ontario, CA on Alaskan airlines at 6:30am. I booked everything including the air thru RCCL on line website. Flight went well with no problems and we arrived in Seattle at about 8:55am. There we were meeting up with friends (1 adult and 1 15 yr old). They were flying in from Dallas and booked the same way I did. Their flight was 1/2 delayed, but no big deal. We located our luggage with no problems and found the RCCL representative right away. She was easy to spot with the big sign. She directed us where to go as she stayed in the baggage claim area awaiting others to arrive. The only mistake we made was carrying all our luggage ourselves instead of paying the $3.00 for one of those little carts. It was a little bit of a walk with all that luggage, but we made it. A bus was ready to take us to the ship about 1/2 hr after our arrival, but we chose to wait for the next bus so we could wait for our Dallas friends as they were right behind us.......we all were at the dock by about 11am.

We breezed right thru check in (we had already printed out our SetSail passes). We were on the ship by noon (I'm not sure of the excat time, but there abouts). We had lunch in the Windjammer. At 4:30 we had the muster drill and it was very organized and we were done in no time.

We had the main seating for dinner, so as we were heading off to dinner our bags arrived at about 5:55pm. Everything was there, no problems. Read more
