On the Sept. 8 cruise from Seattle, there were very often 3-4 ships in port, including the Bliss.  There are about 4 lines sailing from Seattle, probably more than that sailing from Vancouver BC on a round trip cruise and those that sail from Vancouver with a cruise up & fly back [or fly up and cruise back] itinerary.  Most ships go to Ketchikan, Sitka & Juneau, so there could never be just 1 ship in port, even when that ship holds 4000+ [or twice as many as any other 2 ships combined]. 

We did. We probably picked them up on the first sea day and returned them on Victoria Day before we arrived in port late in the afternoon.

Hi Elaine, did you sign up for Meet and Greet or Slot Pull? Traveling same cruise.

Yes, we did for both m&g and pull. Also the pub crawl. Any info. on deck blanket procedure? Do we have to trade in our pool towels or can we keep both?

BTW, went to our boat at the Elliott Bay Marina today and could see the Bliss in the distance, over the tops of the Eurodam and Ruby Princess which were closer. Our yacht club is cruising to Bell Harbor marina for Labor Day weekend, so we will get a great close look at both sides of the Bliss and maybe learn something about boarding proceedure. Can't wait and I hope the smoky skies clear up before 9/8. Also read on 9/8 roll call that you are in a suite with a doorbell!😁

You can get deck blankets at the towel station on the pool deck. We have sailed Alaska a bunch, and these blankets are the best we have ever seen.

For Sept 8th cruise in a Balcony cabin, deck blankets sound like a must. Can we get them on day 1 & then keep them until the night before arrival back in Seattle? Assume that we will be charged if not returned, so not sure if I want to trust just leaving them in the cabin when we disembark & hope steward gives us credit for the return. Cabin on deck 10, so also not sure we want to keep going to the pool deck for new blankets.

Thanks, Elaine

On Celebrity Infinity with their UDP, a table mate wanted a green apple martini, but it was over the price included, so she asked them to just make less and give her $[whatever was included ] worth of the drink. Bartender did and got 20% tip based whatever the max. UDP cost was. Both were happy. Anyone tried asking for 1/2 a shot of the $30 tequila on NCL?

Just stick it in the ottoman it really dosen't take up much space.

Good plan. In a motel longer than 1 night, we usually find some place to stash it😁.

Thanks,E

We are not coffee drinkers and it looks like the coffee maker and accessories take up most of the desk space. I know you can request the mini fridge be emptied so you can use it for left overs, or whatever. Can you also ask for the coffee stuff to be removed by the cabin steward?

Elaine...balcony cabin...9-8-18 Bliss to Alaska

Good question & I hope someone answers.

In answer to the second part - YES, any Parrot Head worth their salt, salt, salt would probably want to.
