Review summary

Enjoyed our cruise. Enjoyed Seattle. The hotel "El Grapo Hotel" took us directly to the port and entering was fast and we turned our luggage in and checked in with the cruise authorities and went directly to our room and dropped our bags off and went directly up to eat lunch. It was a pleasant experience.

Was not impressed by the dining room food. The windjammer food was better.

Enjoyed this port. Weather was wonderful and they had a bus waiting right outside the ship to take you to the town to walk around and do some shopping.

I was so impressed with Royal Caribbean when I discovered that they had our luggage transported directly to the airline and our luggage met us at the airport in our destination. That made our whole cruise experience worth while.

Same cruise July 4 week. We had priority boarding and our friends who had to get new luggage tags and their first cruise boarded earlier than us! Easy process. Had a great trip! If you go to Mendenhall Glacier, make sure you hike down to waterfall and Glacier. Highlight of our trip!!
