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.)
