This was our second Alaskan Cruise and Alaska is still one of the most scenic places we have been. We flew into Seattle the same day the ship left and had no problems getting to the cruise dock. We took a taxi and the cost was $35 with tip for the two of us. Taking a taxi was much easier than waiting for the cruise bus.
The Seattle port in undergoing renovation so embarkation was a little confusing. We were booked into a Grand Suite for the cruise but when we got into the Suite/Vip line we were told that since we had our luggage with us we would have to wait in the main line to register. We waited in this line then another RCL employee saw that we had Suite tags and tried to redirect us to the VIP/Suite check in line again and we were again redirected to the main check in line. After all the moving and losing our place in line twice we elected to stay in the main line and just move with the flow. We then checked in and were on our way!
Room- Since this was our second honeymoon we booked a Grand Suite. The room was large and had a fridge and bathtub. We enjoyed the room however, for the cost of the upgrade; we would opt for a standard balcony next time. I would also warn against the bathtub if you are tall. My DH is 6'4 and was unable to take a shower because when he stood in the tub his head hit the ceiling. So he took baths the whole time. (He didn't complain too much :))
