You want to know this…

Patricia September 8th, 2007

Does anyone recall how there is this REALLY confusing thing about when the ship actually leaves Seattle and when we can board?  Well, I got the details.

From this ship’s master plan this week, I found out that the earliest boarding will be between 3 and 4pm.  The ship is doing something REALLY odd and the previous cruise ends in Vancouver.  So, the Infinity will probably not even be in port until 2ish. (my guess — only my guess.)

What this means to us:

1. If you are planning on staying on May 8th in Seattle, nothing changes really — we will get a late check-out for everyone.  Explore Seattle in the morning.

2. If you are flying in on the 9th, currently I have the bus leaving SeaTac at 1pm.  I could push it back to 2pm, which still gives you an hour before boarding even would begin at the pier — it is 30 t0 45 minute ride.

Ok, I’ve still got a ton of questions an no more answers for you.  If you have not made your flight arrangements and are planning on flying in on the 9th — kindly hold off as I have a feeling more updates are coming.  If you’ve made the flight arrangements, let me know what time you are scheduled to arrive — I want to know what we are working with, if possible.

Answers to come:

1. What time will boarding close?  When would we miss the boat?

2. Will this affect my dinner/drinks/meals?  (I MUST know.)

3. When is muster/lifeboat drill?  I know this isn’t planned out yet, but I need to know because I work goody bags around that drill.

(repeat after me:  “Patricia loves her job, she loves her job, she loves her job.”)

    Ah yes, I have to tell myself that some times too. You could tactfully remind the Captain that he’s dealing with a large number of women with pointy sticks and string if he proves to be uncooperative. We get in at noon, so pushing the shuttle back to 2 PM might work well for us. I figure it’ll take us close to an hour just to get our luggage.

    It’ll be OK. Go inhale yarn fumes.

    Mom and I are vulturing airfares at the moment, but given the three quarters of the way across the country part, I strongly suspected we’d be landing after 1 or 2pm anyway. This means I’m very interested in the how late is too late question as well as what do you miss by showing up at various times before boarding is closed (dinner and goodie bags and muster drills all being important to me). But nothing has been booked yet, so just keep up the excellent work keeping us informed!

    I had planned on looking at airfare later…much later…like after the cruise itself is paid for in feb. Is there any reason this would be particularly ill advised?
