It came from PortValet and had the correct confirmation number.

I learned here about Port Valet in Seattle, a free service which would take your bags from your stateroom and check them in at the airport for you. Since I’m arriving early in the morning and don’t have to be to the airport til 7 pm, I jumped at this. Well, I just got an email yesterday that NCL is no longer participating in the service and my reservation is canceled. I’m a bit annoyed especially as I board TODAY and have made plans for my arrival day depending on this. Now I’ll have to find a bag drop off (there are lots, fortunately, I even saw a shop in Pike Place that offered the service yesterday) and then get back there to pick up my bags before going to the airport. Just an extra step, and thought I’d put it out here in case anyone else had been planning on the same. Boarding in 5 hours, and that’s what matters!

Following with interest just to get the cruise vibe going, as I’ll be getting on after you get off! I’m wondering if my cruise (Seattle/AK roundtrip) will be as filled with children, as Spring Break is over for most, and it’s a bit longer cruise. Also I’m wondering if anywhere will offer a Painkiller…it was a special on the Broadway cruise I did last year on Gem, but I’m not sure if it was specific to that cruise. But anything with fruit & rum and I’ll be happy. BTW Magic Castle is members only and is (or used to be) verrrry exclusive. I remember my parents getting an invite from a member in the 70s, and one dressed up for it (of course this was the era when one dragged out one’s fur & gown to go to Las Vegas).

HECK no lol. I could get out earlier on another airline and have a long layover in an airport or spend a nice day in Seattle…easy choice!

Oh, I get in at 5:30 the next morning and I’ll be on call as soon as I get off the train LOL…fortunately it’s a Sunday. Unfortunately the only flights to Philly with Alaska Airlines are too early to guarantee getting to, or red-eye.

This is amazing information. I don’t fly out til 9:30 p.m. after an early a.m. arrival, and I had been researching luggage drop spots; they exist but I’d have to get there to drop it, do my sightseeing, and then go back by before heading to the airport.
