ManhattanCruiser Posted August 3, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2008 There's a thread going in the Seattle "Ports of Call" section that details the miserable boarding "ramps" there. It looks, from the photos posted, as though all passengers end up lining up on two ramps that appear to be half the length of the ship. I know that once I've been passed check-in and security on most cruises, Elite (and Platinum) passengers join the masses in line to board the ship. Since it seems particularly nightmarish there... is there some way Princess makes the boarding process less helacious for Elite passengers? I suppose a zip-line from the parking lot to the Lido deck would be too much to ask, hmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogibear Posted August 3, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2008 :D Only if you include Platinum passengers too! I think it's a wonderful idea!!......Karen PS: I'll bed boarding the Star Princess in Seattle 9/7/2008 for Alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Oregonians Posted August 3, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Just got back to Seattle a week ago today. Sorry to say everyone lines up together. It didn't take long though. It's an exciting time and people in line were chatting. No biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy604 Posted August 3, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I wish. :) I've got a bum leg and the Princess ramps in Seattle are the worst - it feels like a two-mile hike. I have a cruise out of there next month and I'm probably going to give in this time and ask for a wheelchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacker Posted August 3, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 3, 2008 When we went on the Star in June there was no line. When we arrived on a Princess shuttle bus all of us were able to go straight to a check in person. Did the long ramp walk but just took our time so wasn't too bad. (We are Elite but there was no need to even bring it up) Had a great cruise. Don:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
