Post mortem - I had a miserable check-in at Canada Place.  Got there a little before 1:30 pm.  Thought the crush would be over.  I was standing or walking for 2 hours.  Got onboard at 3:15 pm.  Key card wouldn't work.  Room steward let me in and sent me to Guest Services.  They were waiting for me to report to muster station so we could sail at 4 pm.  Got out of line and went to muster station but card wouldn't scan which is what I tried to tell them.  Head of security marched me back to Guest Services and dragged me to the front of the line so card could be reprogrammed.

 

Why are things so difficult?  Why do some people board easily, have lunch, and enjoy the start of their cruise?  

 

I don't think I'll ever sail to or from Vancouver again.  It's just too complicated and I've never had a good experience there.  Coming back to Seattle, we were told to report to World Stage at 8:15.  Didn't board bus until 9:15.  

Oh Roz, I’m so sorry to hear of your ordeal.  I wish my home port could better handle the cruisers.  And then your other issues, 🤦‍♀️  seems when one thing goes wrong it just keeps getting worse.

Quick question

Who played the pianos in Billboard Onboard?

I don't know; they weren't very good. The band in the rolling stone lounge was excellent.
