Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All of the service staff that we came in contact with were outstanding. They were very attentive to our needs & requests. Our room steward kept our state room in perfect shape. The servers in the Blu restaurant, main dining room & Oceanview all remembered our names & even our drink requests throughout our voyage.

Ship tip

When boarding the ship explore and get your bearings of where everything is located because the Oceanview restaurant is packed with people eating & waiting for their staterooms to be available for them to occupy.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

Seattle was a wonderful walking city. We visited Pikes Market, the Space Needle, the glass gardens by the Needle & took the ferry to Bainbridge Island for lunch. They were also having a festival in the park by the Space Needle that we enjoyed for the afternoon as well as wandering the many shops in the city. Ivar’s restaurant at the piers was also excellent.

Whale watching is a hit or miss excursion. We saw whales but from a distance, ie blowing water, a flip of a tail or back. None that breached the water.
