evacruise Posted July 18, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2004 :D First time cruiser back from Alaska Cruise on Diamond Princess. Group of ten in cabins Aloha -A410-420 with balconies. I read all the postings before cruise about problems with accident. We had no problems with embarkment,cruise, or ports. We went to all the ports including Tracy Arm (amazing) and Victoria. The only problem was with diembarkment. It was inefficient. Take advantage of carrying your own luggage off the ship early to avoid chaos in the customs terminal. The post-cruise transportation to Seattle airport was not well done either. The bus left us off at one end of the airport which was good for American and United flights, but for the other airlines, it was a long walk to the terminal. We were on Delta and it was at the opposite end of the airport. Overall we had a great time and would do it again in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
