Hotel Breakfast
Shuttle on the Seattle Express which picked us up from the hotel around 9 am. It was a large bus that only made one other stop before we got to the cruise port about an hour later. We drove through the downtown area and past the Seattle Needle which was interesting.
The cruise port was a madhouse. People were still disembarking from two large cruise ships and were in long lines waiting for transportation. At the same time, there were long lines forming to drop off luggage and enter the terminal. We were fortunate to have a porter pick up our luggage at the bus so we did not have to haul anything around with us. We did stand in line in front of a sign that had our boarding time of 12:00-12:30 on it. We stood there talking with others for about 30 minutes before I went to find a Celebrity staff person to verify we were in the right place and they informed us that we could go straight to the terminal building.
After walking through several lines to check in, we found a place in the waiting area. They let us on board around 1 pm and we went straight to the buffet on Level 14 for lunch. We then found our room and after a quick look, walked around the ship. Up on the pool deck, we got a couple of beers and shot some hoops in their basketball area. The pool was open and looked inviting, and it was a nice warm day in the 80s, but we decided to walk around instead. We really enjoyed the views of Seattle and
Dinner
That evening we enjoyed some drinks at the Martini Bar which had a frosted top that you could graffiti. We also watched a show where they juggled bottles and poured multiple drinks simultaneously from tumblers.
