My main issue is not just the cruise itself but planning a whole trip around it, since I don't live in either place but rather in San Francisco. I'm still interested though. I love visiting the PNW and had a trip there last year, which included a cruise from SF to Vancouver, and stays in Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland connected by bus, train, and plane. I don't know if I can swing a similar trip this year.... Guess I'd better get on the stick and try to put something together. (Also as a solo traveler, this cruise just isn't such a deal.)

I've started a thread for the pre-Do, to be known as the SEA to Shining Sea Do.

we are going to have to convert our "maybe" to a "no" ... there's just too much else on the calendar the next couple months as we are getting resettled into our Seattle home
we are, however, contemplating the YVR-SEA positioning trip next spring, and will perhaps be able to join the pre-DO dinner in Sep if my travel schedule permits

And, as I said in my OP, if you've never booked with Princess before, let me know before booking, and I can give you a referral that will get you $25 off your booking, making it an even cheaper night.

this looks really interesting, but how do you get back to Seattle?
I live in Seattle so this is an important question. My wife has been prompting me to go on a cruise so this could check the box (so to speak).
Thanks!
Thanks!

Glad to see something in Seattle, and I'd love to partake. BUT ... I'm a tax accountant and 15 September is the deadline for corporate returns on extension. Chances are good I'll be working that entire weekend!
