This was our first cruise. We decided on a repositioning voyage, as it offered a good price during the time I could get away from work. Before we left, we went through the reviews on cruisecritic.com. Needless to say they ran the gambit from great to poor. Talk about trepidation.. So below is our critique of the cruise:
1. Because of traffic in Vancouver, we were one of the last to board. The kiosks were being taken apart, and there was some confusion as to where we should go. Because we were late, getting through customs was quick and we were on the boat within 15 minutes of our arrival.
2. My luggage was left on the tarmac in Seattle. The airline (Alaska) had the bag on the next flight. The bag made the boat before sailing. After returning from dinner, we found the bag outside our cabin. I would have preferred that it be put in my cabin, as I did have some valuables in it.
