Still in Aqua.    I was hoping because they had 2 Royals open when bids expired

Hi Jim - so excited to follow along.

Have a wonderful trip - and thanks in advance for keeping us all updated on your travels.

Boarding started a little late.  Suppose to be full as lots is Southwest passengers moved to Alaska. 
 

 

funny little water cartons. 
 

 

Strong  tail winds so only a 52 minute flight time.

Never seen that before. Is that because Alaska wants to be environmentally conscious?

[Jim_Iain]

Hi Jim

have a great cruise you are so very lucky to be able to jump on a ship and sail away.

I am really hoping that you get an upgrade to a century suite as we have one booked for a Feb sailing.

Enjoy stay safe and maybe one day our paths will cross 👏👍🏻
 

[Jim_Iain]

Trip from airport was about 10 minutes.  For ride share go to center island.    Signs for Uber and Lyft are on different sides of island.

I was in AQ class on the Millennium in August. Food and service was smashing.  

Can’t wait to board the Apex in 24 days. 
ENJOY 😊🛳, Heather

Checkin was a bit of a mess.   Initially they tod us entrance was for Suites only until I pointed to the sign and said. - what does that say. 
 

No problem the agent said and escorted us to the Suites and Zenith check in.  
 

Next they had problems scanning in our documents and passport.    The terminals were down and our agent was struggling.  It took 15 minutes to manually put everything in and then they gave us a paper boarding pass. 
 

The Captain Club hostess escorted us aboard and to our room.    Next hiccup no key on our door.    A housekeeper came to the rescue and let us in.   They delivered a key 10 minutes later.  In the meantime I set up my internet account and activated a key on the app

So glad you've made it onboard. A Pacific Coastal was our last cruise pre-COVID, so I'll enjoy following along.

I little late to the party, just caught up.  Have a wonderful B2B.

We are heading to Mexico for a wk vacation.  They say they have a

la petit chef restaurant at our resort.  Will be fascinating to see if the

menu is any different.

 

Have a wonderful time.

[pretty princess]

Glad to see you made it aboard with only a few minor hiccups. Thanks for your review, have a great time!

She does look nice.  We just had a nice lunch. 

[Jim_Iain]

For those that asked.   The have a Concierge Lunch in main dining room. 

[Jim_Iain]

We had a 12:00 checkin but they allowed us to begin checkin when we arrived  at 11:10

 

All in all it was pretty quick. 

[Jim_Iain]

First stop was our Aqua Class room.

That's a classy looking ship!

[CruiseNYC]

Lovely cabin!  And the size of the balcony is impressive.

Happy sailing!

Was the wine a gift from a staff member, or did you swap out the Champaign/Sparkling Wine for that?

[upwarduk]

Are those USB ports at the base of the bedside lamp?
 

I think I prefer the M class version, which wasn’t available on the refurbished Silhouette.
