We used it 7/2 out of Seattle. Signed up for it online before our cruise. Got our luggage tags and boarding passes on 7/1. Worked flawlessly.

Embarkation Day was great. Took about 40 minutes total from arrival to getting to our cabin. Cabins were all ready,luggage arrived about 2 hours later. Sailing Away party was fun with great weather. Rest of that day and next was spent checking out the Lido buffet,MDR and the different music venues. The overcast skies and/or drizzle started in Juneau. Went whale watching,saw a bunch and saw some seals and eagles. Was lucky to catch a full breach on video. Sitka had a lot of drizzle/light rain. Went on a wildlife tour there. nice visit. Hubbard Glacier was overcast,light drizzle. Ketchikan had SUNSHINE! Went on a Saxman Village tour. Was okay. Town looked neat and would have liked a longer visit there. Saturday went on a 5K walk for charity-9 times around the Promenade. Saw whales while we were doing it. Stayed onboard at Victoria due to it being Canada Day and there being road closures and shuttle to the Inner Harbor cancelled. Meals were great in the MDR and we dined in Pinnacle on Friday. That was fantastic. MDR had a 10am Brunch on Saturday also. Went to the Rolling Stone lounge numerous times. Went to the Orange Party for a bit also. Disembarkation Day-We had an 8am time but it was about 20 minutes late due to problems with the gangway. Got on our shuttle by 9:10.Seatac was a mob scene. We had Precheck which took about 10 minutes but every gate was mobbed with no place to sit. All in all,had a great time!

Thank you for all your posts. Very informative and entertaining. We fly to Seattle tomorrow morning so time to get going on the packing. Thanks again.

How warm was it in Sitka? I see a lot of short sleeves.

Being a bit of a beer snob I hope they have some craft beers on the Westerdam.

It's our 50th also.

Anybody have any experience with Verizon on an Alaskan cruise?

I'm sitting here at home drinking my morning coffee and getting hungry looking at all the food pics. 4 days til we board.🙂

Our cabin is on Deck 8. As much as I'd like to I think we'll use elevators a lot. We're both 70 and in decent shape but that's a lot of stairs.🫤

We booked Pinnacle for our anniversary,6/30. Looking forward to it.

I have an orange U of Ilinois shirt and hat. I think they would work for the Orange Party.

Thanks!

Registered online for it when we disembark on 7/2 in Seattle.. Just wondered if it all worked okay. TIA

Got an email yesterday with my boarding group and time.Group C and 11:40am. Showing up on the boarding pass now.

Got an email today. Group C,11:40 check-in.

I know about the boarding number and check in time,was just curious that the bar code showed up today and that info didn't. I'll wait til later in the week and see if it eventually shows up.

Bear with me, first time cruiser. I noticed our boarding passes now have the bar code[6/25 departure on the Westerdam]. No boarding time or group listed,says to be assigned. Is this typical? I know we have plenty of time before laeving and I'm not printing the passes yet. TIA

We are on the Westerdam on 6/25[1st timers]. Are you in the same time zone as Seattle the entire cruise? TIA
