We're flying back to Seattle due to a medical emergency. 

 

Bummer.. I wanted to gamble more!

Sorry you had to leave your cruise early. I hope everything works out.

 

Thank you so much for keeping us apprised of your trip. Makes me eager for ours in 56 days. Oh, we're also scheduled for the Prima, only in Jun 23. Doing the 10 day out of Iceland to England.

 

May the wind always be at your back.

Seahawks and Mariners stadiums.

 

Didn't know they were next to each other.

What he meant was, "we're cruising back to Seattle at full speed due to an emergency onboard"!

 

DH and I thought the same thing, based on the wording. (However, see post #360 where it's explained.)

 

Hopefully all goes well for whomever!

Thanks for the clarification. 

 

No emergency for us!

 

Someone on board obviously had an emergency due to the speed we were flying back. Closed the casino around 830pm. But then we slowed down, so hopefully everyone is okay.

[ClevelandCruisin]

At the airport!

 

Probably the best disembarkation we've had in 11 cruises!

 

No security due to not going anywhere foreign. Then we caught the shuttle to the airport. 

 

After more shopping at the airport, we grabbed our usual coffee, and now to wait till boarding. 

 

I'll post our lunch/dinner from Minneapolis! 

[ClevelandCruisin]

Flight fuel!

 

Ham and Swiss on wheat.

 

Fruit and cheese tray, nothing like Norwegians.

 

Coke zero is my non-alcoholic drink of choice.

Casino closed at 8:30 P.M. as always.  Lots of accounting to do before reaching Seattle.  Closed once you enter Canadian waters.

 

[ClevelandCruisin]

Off we go!

 

 

[ClevelandCruisin]

Nevermind...

 

We have to offload the plane because another is broken. 

 

2 hour layover now.

[ClevelandCruisin]

Stuck here due to another plane issue, and our plane was an international plane, so we had to get off and wait. Hopefully we'll make the connecting. As of now we'll have 1hr45min in between.

Exactly my sentiments. Thank you very much, ClevelandCruisin!

We're finally off!

 

Get to spend a night in Minneapolis. 

 

In to Cleveland early a.m.

Not a great ending to your vacation.  Hope you’re able to get some rest and a better day tomorrow.

Great review!  Thanks for sharing your time and your adventure with us!

[ClevelandCruisin]

Post cruise food in Minneapolis! 

 

Bang bang shrimp 

Hummus 

Chicken quesadilla 

 

Staying at the airport Marriott,  bistro 79 is excellent! 

[ClevelandCruisin]
