I had finished chemotherapy and wanted to celebrate life by taking a cruise.
We took a train to Seattle, and right outside were taxis waiting, whoosh within minutes were at the pier and became part of the excitement of an embarkation.
We took our luggage to the customs people and then went through the process to get our room key. Not once did we have to stand in line, and in short time we dropped our carry on in the cabin. From getting out of the taxi to plopping out on the bed had to be about fifteen minutes.
I was hoping there would be lounge chairs outside the room, only at the from 1/3 of the ship.
