rockfsh Posted May 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2019 This is (hopefully) another of my live trip reports on a Bliss cruise. On my last trip report CC went down in the middle of it. We are now ensconced at the Seattle Pan Pacific Hotel. My Fitbit reports that we walked over 10K. Mostly up and down which is good training for the ship stairs. Tomorrow we board. Can't wait. Here are touristy pics of Seattle, the Emerald City, a gem. Leaving Honolulu. Pan Pacific Hotel Pike Place Market Ghost Alley pre Therapy Here's Looking at You Do You See It? Yup Joy in Port Amazon Sphere That's All for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfsh Posted May 19, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Other This is not my Tat Cart The Space Needle looks like it was designed by Tesla. Nikola that is. The ceiling of our hotel room sprung a leak @4 AM. We had to move rooms 😞 Boarding soon. Really this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite what my countdown clock says, I haven't (yet) sailed. Lynette C. who just finished sailing today in the same suite we reserved told me she left me a "surprise" hidden in the cabin. I hope it is not a chocolate covered strawberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfsh Posted May 20, 2019 Author #14 Share Posted May 20, 2019 We are finally aboard and in our first DOS (not Disk Operating System for you nerds). The cabin is huge, over 3.5 times the size our first apartment in Berkeley when Noreen and I were in college. Daughter and BF are on their first cruise. Our treat. They are having a blast. So are we. I'll post a few pictures. Any questions? Living Room Master Bedroom 2nd Bedroom Tub 2nd Bath More tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfsh Posted May 20, 2019 Author #16 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Backtracking a bit. On the way down to Pier 66, we ran into a traffic jam. It took us 30 minutes to get past the last 3 stop lights before Alaska Way. We then ran into a train. Not literally. We had lunch @ Magaritaville. Four of us could not finish the volcano nacos although we got down to the magma. On deck a family was struggling to take a group selfie so I offered to help. "You're not going to run away with our phone?", the father asked me. "Don't worry, I'm so old your kid could catch me", I replied. In the Haven Lounge I met Maravit, our butler from our last cruise. Have you ever had a hug from a butler? No workstation space so I've taken over part of the vanity. The sun is just starting to set at 8:50 PM. The ship's internet is best @ 3AM. Going back to sleep now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfsh Posted May 20, 2019 Author #18 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) If you gotta go and the bathrooms in the suite are too far away, there is a 3rd toilet off of the entrance The 2 showers. My weight varies by 10 pounds on this scale when underway. It under weighs and over weighs you. The front balcony is windy (there are 2 balconies) More later. I promise Edited May 20, 2019 by rockfsh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfsh Posted May 21, 2019 Author #19 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The ship's photo studio called. They offered to set up portrait session. "No thanks, I said, "Don't look good enough". "We can make you look good", they responded. "Not unless you are plastic surgeons", said I. The meet and greet was fun. Thanks to Kathy(lawdawg04) for setting it up. We talked to Jim and Jennifer there.(jonesnewl) Cruise Director Silas ran "beauty" contest for cruise staff and asked me to judge. I picked Silas. "What do I win?", he asked. I said he already bribed me to pick him. DD Patty came in second in her go-cart race. Sea days are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfsh Posted May 21, 2019 Author #21 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) We met Johnathan (jonpilk) and Shay and Rachelle (trimom30) @ the Captain's party. Also had Silas pay me off for picking him. If anyone else says, "Hi",they will end up on this TR. Will take a pic of the 2nd balcony and post tomorrow Edited May 21, 2019 by rockfsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The online floorpans just don't make that clear at all. It looks like on the other end is an open space. I like that this balcony is big enough to be useable too!

This balcony is sheltered and usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
