Bon Voyage Experience (Other than Princess?)

[Dejlig Ko]

I have booked the Bon Voyage Experience for the two friends who are taking us to the pier in Seattle prior our sailing on the Golden Princess (very first cruise ever :)).

 

Does anyone know if other cruise lines that have sailings from Seattle offer a similar product? I'd like to tour the other ships in port this summer to see how they compare to the Princess ship that I'll be sailing on. It could help in future booking decisions!

As far as I know, Princess is the only line offering the BVE.

HAL doesn't have anything like that.

Thanks to both of you!

they let you on board up to like an hour before sailing to have lunch and wander around. there is a fee for this.

 

but as soon as they start the muster drill, if you are not booked on the cruise you must get off.

 

about the only people who can do this on other lines are TAs.

I found out about it via these two links:
