We arrived in Seattle Friday, the day before our cruise, and enjoyed a day of sightseeing. We stayed at the Comfort Suites Downtown/Seattle Center - which was under construction at the time which is due to be completed in Aug 2011. Our room was HUGE with a comfortable bed, microwave, coffeepot, refrigerator.

Sat we arrived at the ship at 11:50 and were in our cabin unpacking by 12:40. I was impressed with how smoothly embarkation went. We had lunch, wandered around the ship getting to know it and went back to our cabin to unpack. Our cabin steward stopped by to introduce himself and we told him how we like things. He remembered the things we told him all week and cleaned the cabin, but, did not rearrange our things which has been a problem for me in the past. I left an empty bottle of wine with its' label removed on the floor next to the trash basket; he didn't take it until I put it IN the basket! We were very pleased with our cabin. The bed was comfortable, PLENTY of space in the closet and drawers in the cabin. We liked the way our balcony door opened to the side instead of out; it made the balcony seem larger. The shower was small as expected, but, bringing a corner shelf to hang in it helped IMMENSELY! The shampoo and cream rinse were better than I expected. (I have long, fine hair and most hair products provided in hotels are useless to me. I was able to use the products without any problems.)

Sun was a Sea day. There were plenty of activities to keep us busy. We enjoyed meeting new friends from our role call thread here. We loved the pub lunch at Sabatini's. We enjoyed a talk from the naturalist about Alaska.

We'd do this cabin again. Plenty of storage space, great balcony as it was covered, good location - only pax cabins right above, below and on the deck.
