Wanted USA cruise. Excellent close/quick cruise.. Short flight and quick trip to pier. Checked in and on board in less than 10 min. Departed and in taxi in less. Ship in "like new" condition. Excellent ports that allow touring on your own. Try Bouy for good food and beer while in Astoria. They have glass floor for viewing sea life. Also, great area out side for water viewing. For SF - SF city guides have 4-6 tours daily ... Free of charge. Did ferry building and Chinatown - excellent city guides. Best overall entertainment on the ship...from the ice show to RCI singers and dancers who had international dance team join the group. The cocktail hour for diamond plus was moved to the Lounge due to large number on the ship. ... Good plan. Excellent choice for B2B as you won't run out of places to tour/visit. Would repeat this cruise.
