Do you stop at Victoria tomorrow? If so what time?

We'll have the traditional early dining 5pm. Do you know if it works the same as other ships? 1st day you get your table # and for the rest of the week no checking in just walk in. I'm going to pre request the Grande dining room.

Anyone know how it's been going in the Grande 5pm early MDR ?

Do they have computers in the library?

You're doing a fabulous job!

Where is the ship headed?

AeroBaldness what kind of dining experiences can you book pre cruise?

We're planning on it when we were there 8 years ago the weather was lousy wouldn't have been able to see anything. Hope we get to do it this year. Did you pre purchase through the cruise line or just get tickets at the tram?

Thanks, we'll be in a starboard side JS in August. Looking forward to that view. Post some more views so I can dream about them. I also love the pictures of the ship and the passengers they will help me with my daytime wardrobe decisions.

Beautiful what side of the ship is your cabin?

Thanks I'll definitely check it out.

Looks like there were 2 Welcome Aboard shows with a comedian in the main theater.

So sorry about your MDR experience I hope they get that sorted out. What dining room was that?

I love all the pic's keep em coming. It will help with my wait until Augist.

Oh yes Yum I did check out the website not the location. We may be doing a private excursion I'll have to see if they'll stop there.

Thanks🙂

Can you please tell me the name of this place.

Thanks for all your help plan to be off the ship 8-8:15.

I did do some research and was aware of how close the ship, hotel and tourist attractions are from each other. I'm always second guessing my self and was most worried if we would have enough time to meet the tour especially if there was a issue getting off the ship, Uber, shuttle or taxi or dropping our luggage. We are staying at the same hotel pre cruise so I guess I will ask how there shuttle works. Off the Navigator in February we had to wait about 30 minutes to get a taxi, a big line but they put your name on a list. I did come across Rome2rio app that works like a GPS giving you best options, walking, taxi, bus with bus #'s, distance, time, maps etc. I think we'll use it for our 2nd day in Seattle. Thanks for all the great information that you always provide.

Ovation arrives back in Seattle at 6am on a Friday we plan to have breakfast on the ship in the MDR . We have The Key so once cleared we can leave at any time & our luggage will be in a special area. Looking to find the the fastest way to the Mediterranean Inn to drop our bags and make it to Pike Place Market for a 10:15 food tour. What time should we leave the ship and should we use the hotel shuttle, Uber or taxi to get to hotel. Once we drop our bags we'll have get a Uber or taxi to Pike Place. Can we make it there by 10:15?

I plan on pre purchasing the Seattle City Pass. The day we get off the ship we plan to drop our bags at our hotel and do a private food tour at Pike Place Market and possibly the Aquarium with the pass. It looks like you need to pick a reservation time for each place. The next day is it possible to do Space Needle, Chihuly Glass ans then Harbor cruise in that order? How much time to allot at each place and how much walking would be between these places? DH has a mobility issue is there a city bus or should we uber in between? We also would need to factor in lunch on that day. Does all of that sound like a plan? Any suggestions appreciated.

Our time in Victoria will be 6-10pm and will need some direction of what we can do from others who have done similar. We are in our mid 70's and DH has walking disability he & is very slow. We have 5pm dining and would like to leave the ship between 6 and 6:30 is that enough to get a taxi for a 7pm thirty minute horse carriage ride? Are taxi's readily available? Is that possible? After the carriage is it possible to catch a 8pm excursion with the ship? I have no idea where the RCL excursions meet. Or are there tour vendors on the street or in a certain area that offer a short tour of the city? If we need to get a cab back to the ship would I have to call one? Just beginning research on this and appreciate any tips, advice of what we can do in this time frame. ALSO POSTING ON RCL , ROLL CALL & PACIFIC NORTHWEST
