Cruising Alaska: May/June 2006

Saturday, May 27: Check-in and boarding was smooth and uneventful, in contrast to last week's mess in Seattle. I heard a few comments from people in Seattle that on previous cruises out of Vancouver, they also had had no problems. We got a delightful surprise when we realized that we had been assigned an oceanview stateroom (as a speaker, I don't get to choose a cabin). We hated our inside cabin last year, and still call it "the cave."
