Thanks so much for your wonderful response! RE: Priority early embarkation at Seattle: We are in HOLLAND AMERICA (HAL).

Great photo!! 🩷Would be grateful for your expert advice about Pier 91 for HAL's Westerdam this May: (1) Can private limo companies drop us off right where the Stevedores can get our luggage right from the vehicle? (We can't lug the larger bags.) (2) Is it true that Priority boarding pass pax have a separate line and can come earlier (10:45 am) than the posted 12 noon embarkation time? (3) On disembarkation can private limo service also pick us up near where the porters assist us through the terminal to outside? Many thanks!!!

My room was ready. Thanks a million, Suzanne123 & Baynanno1!! Really appreciate you quick, helpful responses. 😍

Is the 10:30 am arrival the earliest you would suggest for suite guests at Los Angeles/San Pedro world cruise port? (We haven't sailed out of that port for ages...) THANKS!!!

Thanks so much for responding. 😀

OOPS! I forgot to mention that we're staying several days pre-cruise to visit with local friends prior to our Celebrity cruise--so sight-seeing is NOT a concern. We're mainly concerned about the general condition of the Doubletree Hilton/San Pedro (an alarming number of bad reviews for it AND for Crowne Plaza, where we stayed ages ago)--and want to know if the Doubletree dining facility is pleasant for get-togethers with friends. ALSO: Any problems/delays getting their port shuttle--or an Uber or taxi to the port? THANKS again for any details! Mary-Lou (DrFUN)

Has anyone stayed recently at the Doubletree Hilton/San Pedro prior to embarkation? Pros & cons? Thanks for any insights!

Like you, DH Dave and I also place high value on itinerary--as well as accommodations--so I would be grateful for info about the "new" r/t Voyage you mentioned (cruiseline, ship, dates). Many thanks, Mart-Lou ("Dr. FUN")

And now it has mysteriously disappeared from my profile (not that I wanted to use that function, but I WAS curious)....

Hi, "Neighbor" Bob! (DH Dave and I live in Chandler.) Would be very grateful if you'd post a review of your K-dam Pinnacle Suite experience--plus any tips or concerns. Many thanks, Mary-Lou PS: Would also love any new comments from others who have experienced this suite.

Thanks, Kat! Your helpful advice is always greaty appreciated.

Just checked my profile--and in my nearly 2 decades on these boards I never noticed that.... Thanks for any clarification.
