Additional details

Sail Date: Aug 2012

Since I read so many reviews before sailing, I thought I would try and give details from our cruise to help other cruisers. We were on a Quilting Cruise through Travel Connections in Illinois. My business partner and I were teaching on the cruise while the ship was at sea. It is a great way to go if you are a quilter! In case you are wondering, you don't have to bring a machine. Bunny has a dealer on board with all of the machines. Also, bring your husbands. This is the third quilting cruise and our husbands have gone every time. There is plenty for them to do on the ship while you are quilting.

We flew into Seattle the day before our cruise. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Sea-Tac near the airport. We purchased the package that included all of the transfers. They picked us up at the airport, took us to the dock, picked us up at the dock and returned us to the airport. It was wonderful! The rooms were very nice and the transfers were great. All for around $160. Some of our group went to the Space Needle and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Getting on the ship was very easy. No problems. We found that each person could take on a 12 pack of soda and 1 bottle of wine.

Cabin Review

We had an ocean view window. We thought the room was very adequate. There is lots of storage. I had plug-in adapters with me so I could plug in cell phone, IPAD, and curling irons. If you have a breathing machine, bring an extension cord. A person in our group had to sleep at the other end of the bed because the cord wouldn't reach. Also, bring an alarm clock. There aren't any in the rooms. Our cell phones went crazy on the time. They jumped 5 hours ahead sometimes. We did not receive cell phone service when we were at sea, but did receive service while at port.
