I was so happy with this cruise! Boarding was easy and quick. I suggest getting to the terminal at about 10:30 am, because they put you in these taxi waiting lines. This has nothing to do with the cruise lines, it's a Seattle pier 91 thing. When it came to boarding the ship, everything went great!

Once onboard our stateroom was available by 1:30. We just hung out at Dizzy's and had a few drinks. I suggest maybe checking out the ship and getting to know the layout. Super clean and beautiful ship!

Dining was a treat, we always enjoy the food! I have to admit I was concerned after reading some of the reviews on cruise critic with the food. We had a bit of delay on dinner the first evening, but after profuse apologies from our waiter it never happened again. The windjammer was getting slammed on reviews as well. The windjammer was just as good as any other buffet on the seas. I have to admit I'm not a fan of these specialty restaurants that charge more on cruise ships. We did however, eat at Izumi's and had great sushi. Still not a fan of paying extra for food, when dining is awesome! Read more
