Sail Date: Aug 2014

This was my fifth cruise to Alaska. I was traveling with friends from high school who were celebrating a milestone birthday this year. This was a seven night round trip from Seattle.

I flew into Seattle the morning of the cruise. I had pre-booked a shared shuttle from the airport to the pier with Shuttle Express ($22 plus tip). Following their directions to their service desk, I was whisked away in a large comfortable van within minutes of arriving. After a brief stop to let off passengers at Pier 66, we were on to Pier 91. The van arrived at the cruise terminal a little after 11 a.m. I dropped off my luggage at the security scanners inside and then backtracked to the check-in lines. I had Priority Check-in so was able to bypass the line that was already forming. After filling out the health form I was directed to the priority check-in line where I waited less than a minute for an agent. I overheard the agents telling passengers that they could have lunch in the Horizon Court. No mention was made of lunch in the main dining room.

They began boarding the ship at around 11:40 a.m. I ran into a few other people in my party and we agreed to meeting for lunch in the main dining room at 12:30. We had a lovely lunch in the sparsely filled Donatello dining room (deck 6 mid-ship.)

Cabin Review

Cabin E

Emerald 303 is a handicap cabin with obstructed ocean view. There is less counter space in the bathroom than a standard cabin but the bathroom is large with a square shower area. There are many drawers and counters in the cabin itself and a wardrobe. There is one chair by the desk area and two upholstered chairs around a small table.
