Ding ding. Probably a lot of passengers who booked air through the cruise line and don't have seat assignments. (Though whether they're connecting to/from ANC or cruising out of Seattle, it doesn't matter.) I think this typically happens with group travel as well (e.g., class trip), so there is very often a good reason for the seat maps in coach to be quite different from the actual availability.
