Star Princess by Diane Alaska May 11, 2008

We arrived the day before the cruise we stayed at the Marriott Hotel at the airport The is hotel is excellent and beautiful with a wonderful indoor pool and atrium. On May 11, 2008, we embarked on our 1st cruise with Princess cruise lines. We sailed The Star Princess 7 day cruise to Alaska round trip from Seattle. We are Mother and Daughter age 41 and 17, and we have traveled on cruises many times in the past. We took a town car service to and from the airport to the port for $40.00 each way and that's per car, not passenger. The car holds approx 3-4 people. We used Seattles premier town car service 1-888-982-5277

Embarkation: Embarkation was out of Seattle. It was the most disorganized embarkation we've ever experienced. We arrived at the port at 10:45 am; we boarded the ship at 1200 pm. We had booked the penthouse suite for my daughter's graduation and were to have priority check-in; however they started checking in everyone but priority which I felt was rude, and they were very focused on a wedding party that took precedence over everyone else including people with needs and handicapped.
