I cruised with my husband and this was our first cruise ever. Our cruise was from Seattle to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Prince Rupert and back to Seattle. We flew into Seattle on Alaska Airlines, which is a great airline, terrific service.

We took a taxi from the airport directly to Pier 66. The taxi was about $30 for the two of us with two bags and one larger carry-on size bag. We arrived at the pier around 10:00. I booked an early flight, because I wanted to have enough buffer room in case something went wrong with the flight.

There was a small line at the pier, about 10-15 people. We stood and waited a lot, because the NCL people weren't set up yet. They were still setting up tables and trying to make sure everyone had luggage tags before we could check our bags. I had printed off the pre-cruise documents off the internet and tagged our luggage with the tags that came in the mail so we were all set. After checking our bags, we went through security, which was a non-event and then we were able to get our stateroom keys. Then it was time for more sitting around until they allowed us on the ship. We were allowed on at 11:30.
