Since we were driving from Portland to Seattle to embark, I made parking reservations with Republic Parking NW and paid for Cruise Only parking in advance. This is covered parking directly across from the Bell Street Pier. We arrived at 11:45 AM and within 15 minutes, they had tranferred our luggage to the ship and shuttled us to the Cruise Terminal. Since no one could board before noon, there were many people, but it still seemed to go quite rapidly. The mistake the cruise ship made, was to hand out a form at the entrance, that did not have to be completed until you had gone through customs. But people stopped in line and tried to fill them out, which only caused greater confusion.

However, all in all, the process was quick. We had a glass of champagne and boarded the ship and went to our Stateroom. Our travel agent touted this as a 5 Star cruise line, but it was no where near that. The Staterooms were worn, the bedding was pilled and worn, the chairs had upholstery hanging down from underneath, our television for on line ship information did not work, the carpeting was very worn and all in all, we found the room to be quite tacky. Sadly, although nice, our Stateroom Attendant, just didn't seem to be enthusiastic in his attitude.

There are three other down sides that we experienced. The carpeting on three of the decks (that had bars in them) smelled of urine when we would walk through. This was for the entire trip. And, as many other passengers experienced, we did not appreciate a camera in our faces whenever we embarked, disembarked, attended a formal dinner or any other activity that the ship could consider a photo op. And lastly, one of the entertainers, the magician would not have made it to the next round on America's Got Talent. He act needs a lot of work.

Cabin Review

Great closet space. Smaller than other staterooms of other cruise ships. Very worn overall. The carpeting was worn and faded, chairs had upholstery hanging down from underneath, on line cruise information menu on television did not work, the bedding was worn as was the bedspread. The room was not at all appealing.
