This trip was a repeat of a cruise that most people would
describe as “once-in-a-lifetime”, but we’re very lucky people, so we went back
a second time. We ended up on the same
cruise ship and the same itinerary, but started with a couple of days in Sitka,
which we’d never visited before.
A word on the cruise line: we used Uncruise, which was Innersea Discoveries 2 years ago (no change in ownership). We LOVE this type of cruise- small ships, passionate crew with educational backgrounds in fields such as marine biology, very laid back (no one locks their staterooms), up close and personal with nature, and minimal extra costs beyond the inital price (other than tips, which are NOT automatically added to your bill).
The trip to Seattle took up most of Tuesday, thanks to a
7-hour layover in Denver (originally supposed to be 3 hours till United changed
its schedule). We coped by hanging out
in the United Club even though we hated rewarding them for messing up our
schedule by paying for day passes. The
“free” alcohol helped.
The flight to
Seattle was delayed, of course, but by only about half an hour. Sadly, that exceeds my expectations for
airlines these days. Still, it was
nearly 11 PM Seattle time when we checked into the Airport Marriott.
