I assume “test sailings” can be slightly different than “paying passenger” sailings in terms of what is available, etc but there has been so little info regarding these Seattle sailings. I am booked for 8/20 and would love any info you can give. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey let us know who the captains and cruise director are on board. also any gossip about what is planned once paying passengers open up too. Should be interesting if Ovation docks at the new Ketchikan terminal and couple of miles north of the city. try to let us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KikiKruiser Posted July 26, 2021 Author #12 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I understand a few guests “will be designated” as “unvaccinated” and handled as such by the crew. Probably also means limiting where they can go on the ship. Sure don’t want to volunteer for that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KikiKruiser Posted July 29, 2021 Author #17 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Haven’t cruised Seattle is years. Without cruise line transfers, what have you all found as the best roundtrip transportation from SeaTac to Pier 91? TIA!

discru Posted July 30, 2021 #19 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Will the test cruise be following any of the route that the revenue cruises will be taking. Trying to figure out if port or starboard balcony would be better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to figure out if port or starboard balcony would be better.... Likely. No real diff - your enjoyment of an Alaskan sailing is much more dependent on weather, which you can't really predict, than side of the ship.

Blizzard54 Posted July 30, 2021 #21 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) We will be starting with about 85 degrees for sailaway in Seattle today. Ketchikan on Monday 64, cloudy. Edited July 30, 2021 by Blizzard54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proseknitic Posted July 30, 2021 #22 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Also on the cruise. I took the Light Rail in to Seattle yesterday. Can't beat $3 vs Lyft/Uber/Taxi. It wasn't anywhere on the documentation, and calling Royal received no answer. However, called the Port and the Ovation will be at Pier 91. Nice to know.... I am willing to play any role they want. Including spending five glorious days in my balcony with room service (note, my home is crowded with people. This is my vacation... -Holly Edited July 30, 2021 by Proseknitic spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard54 Posted July 30, 2021 #23 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Welcome to Seattle Holly. We usually use the Light rail to get to the airport. It can be a little challenging when we are taking longer trips with plenty of luggage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to some of the RC staff and it sounds like they were the ones who got designated as non-vaccinated but they were pretty chipper anyway on account of getting PTO to go on a free cruise. Everyone here is so cheerful today I think everyone will have fun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was on the last few pages, just prior to or after the luggage tags. Of course we didn't receive that until 1-2 days prior to our sail date.
