First let me thank Patty for all her hard work setting up the events for the cruise critic members,we met a lot of nice people on the events and it made the sea day's a little more interesting. Patty, I hope your tumble didn't ruin the last few day's of the cruise for you.
Started out with a couple of day's in Seattle before embarking, always a fun time in the emerald city and the weather co operated for us. Got trough the embarkation line with no problem,took less then 45min's and we were in our room right after boarding.
Our first stop was San Francisco, we elected to purchase the Alcatraz excursion and had no problems with the tour,this was our second visit to the island and I would go back again and again.
