We live close to Seattle so this cruise was driving to the Port of SEattle which made things a lot easier than flying into a port.  We got to Seattle early for boarding. I think we were on the curb at 12:45 and we were eating lunch on the ship by 1:30. Very fast getting onboard. We ate at the Versailles which became our favorite restaurant.

Cabin: This was an Oceanview Cabin that had 90% obstructed view. And, that was the truth. There was a lifeboat right in front of us but we are in our cabin so little that we really didn't mind. I did find it interesting that there were 2 windows in the cabin. The cabin was well laid out. Lots of room for 2 people.

Restaurants: We loved the Versailles and also ate at the Aqua which has the same menu but the Aqua has a more casual atmosphere. Le Bistro was wonderful. We always ate after nine so it's 2 for 1. A five-course superb French menu was delightful. We ate at Cagney's which has a very good Beef menu. I had a large cut Prime Rib and my husband had the 24 oz Porterhouse. Neither one of us could finish our meal. Again, this was after 9 pm and 2 for 1 prices. We also ate at the Ginza. We ordered off the Sushi menu and ended up with 48 different pieces of Sushi. Again, half price. I'd like to mention that we saw a lot of the officers and entertainers eating at this venue. Nice and quiet. Good windows. Read more
