We started in Seattle and ended up in Miami, not far from our home. The last leg of the cruise we were in (LA to MIAMI) the penthouse suite, right below the bridge. What a way to go through the canal!! And we had never been in a suite before (9000)!!! It is going to be hard to go back now!!!
Had been to Seattle before by car so no need to talk about that trip 15 years ago. And about 4 years ago cruised on the Pearl out of Miami. We live in Ft Lauderdale and went on a family cruise for spring break. Each year we do that. 15-20 of us get to see great nieces and great nephews on up to great grandparents.
Embarking was quick and ship right there at the port. Never been to that port up close even though it is right down from Pike Place and saw it when visiting years prior.
