We booked this cruise very last minute on July 8, for the July 22-29 sailing.
We flew non-stop the morning of the cruise from Sacramento to Seattle. We had fullfilled our Arrive-Can and pre-cruise Covid requirements online before we left.
Embarkation was frenetic.There were 2,524 passengers out of 2,850 capacity this sailing on the Solstice, or 88.6 % full.
We liked our deluxe veranda cabin location midship on the 7th floor, # 7177.
Room steward Ariel was excellent!
Loved Dog Mushers Camp here!
Rain didn't spoil our Sunday in Ketchikan!
Loved shopping at the Rushin Tailor-a fabulous quilting shop! Loved the crab ckaes!
Butchart Gardens are beautiful, but not as well maintained as I expected. Roses smelled heavenly, but had not been recently pruned. Lots of black spot, too. Disappointing.
