Our last cappuccino of the cruise was a work of art!!!

Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.  I enjoyed following along.  Safe travels home!

[LACruiser88]

Well folks, this is a wrap for us! 

 

We had a great time and made great new friends.  I do not want to sound like a Princess Fan Club, but having cruised with a number of different cruise lines over the past 35 years, the crews on Princess have proven to us to be the most friendly and kind.  Kudos to the crews despite the challenges that the pandemic and the corporate cut backs have affected them!  They are the reason we stay loyal to the brand.

We will now spend 3 nights at the Downtown Seattle Hyatt Regency before flying home to LAX.  We will spend one of our days visiting with my cousin and her husband at their home in Issaquah.

The next cruise for us will the October 17th, 32-day voyage on the Coral Princess, Singapore to Los Angeles.  We will be spending a week in Singapore prior to boarding the ship.  This voyage will take us to Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and Hawaii.

¡Adiós!

Thanks for the live thread LACruiser88. It was a pleasure meeting you on the Majestic.

Thank you so much for your review, I  enjoyed it. If  you do another review in October will you please post the link here.

Thank you for the live.  I appreciated all your photos of the places you visited, and the menu and food photos.  Someday we will be able to do something similar, a long cruise, but with school aged kids, jobs, household chores, and senior pets, that is a ways off for us.

 

I look forward to your October sailing, I hope I am able to catch it in the forums.  It was nice following the Majestic as she re-positioned to the Pacific coast.  We will be on her at the end June for a 7-day Alaska cruise.  I tend to fall off the forums for a while after a cruise as a coping mechanism, knowing that we won't be cruising for a while (due to the aforementioned kids, school, house, deaf and arthritic cat, etc.) always makes me a little sad.

 

I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Washington.

Sorry, I'm back.  But, only for a moment.

 

After checking into our hotel, we walked down to the Pike Place Market.  I had the best Fried Oyster Po'Boy ever!  And I have had them all over the US.  This was fantastic and I highly recommend "Seatown Rub Shack & FishFry."  Debbie had a Salmon Sandwich and we shared Steamed Mussels as an appetizer.  Everything was great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, the market was a sea of humanity today.

 

 

Okay, now I'm really done!  🤣

Thank you so very much for this "live from" review and pictures.  I always look forward to them and do hope that you continue.  I know it is a lot of work but we all enjoy them so much.  I'll never get to many of the places that you travel to and almost feel as if I am there through your reviews.

Thanks for taking us along.  See you in October.

I'm back again, but I promise this is really, really, the last time.

 

We have been in Seattle a number of times over the years, but we had not visited the Chihuly Garden and Glass

Museum until today.  Wow!!!  It was amazing and should not be missed!  It is right next door to the Space Needle. 

 

The following photos do not do the displays justice, but will give you an idea of the beauty of these art pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few of the outdoor displays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And, we returned to Seatown for lunch.  It was just as good the second time around!

 

Okay, now we are done...   🤪

[HotRoot]

Kind of reminds you of The Piazza.

@LACruiser88

 

WOW

[treesah]

Thanks for the photos.  Chihuly's art is stunning.  So convenient to the needle.  Is the master still working?

They said he is still "creating" art but not constructing art.  He is now 82 yrs old and lives in Seattle.

Chihuly Museum will now be on our next Seattle visit.  Thank you for all that you share on CC.

Thanks again @LACruiser88 for the incredible trip report! I used your photos of the daily schedule to plan what to do before I got on board for the final baby leg which was nice.  Also got a lot of great ideas for future trips.  Appreciate you taking the time to put this together.  Safe travels!
