This was my first time on a Princess ship – they do try to make it like the Love Boat show, don't they.
Bon Voyage lunch
Cabin Review
Oceanview (obstructed view)
Cabin OW
Window view was satisfactory. Photo attached. There are pods visible below that hold life rafts. Once I saw a crew member walk by. First night, there were bright lights on all night but the window shade obliterates that. For an obstructed view, it was good.

San Francisco
Limited time? I'd visit SF MOMA or with kids, Exploratorium. Walking the Waterfront is nice. North Beach is nearby.

DIY Excursion
Metro bus to Seattle Center
Space Needle- clear weather, nice views, esp the level below where it rotates. Friendly hosts who snap photos you can later retrieve online with your ticket number.
Chihuly Gardens- stunning, audio tour available online
Monorail to Mall
walked to
Pike's Place Market- saw some fish throwing
appreciate the Info people in bright vests giving directions, tips and ready to hand you a map.
Metro bus- good system, $2.75 with timed transfers
Victoria
Very walkable. Slower paced city. Enjoyed seeing all the horses
Astoria, Oregon
Very walkable. We took the shuttle because one of us is 92 and doesn't walk like she used to.
Columbia Maritime Museum is recommended, and visit the lighthouse boat docked in front
