We'll be doing Vancouver to Alaska later this year. What's your recommendation?

Depends on the time of the day. Traffic in Seattle is terrible, if you are coming in the morning it'll be really slow about 30 to 45 minutes. Uber and Lyft are allowed to charge more for the ride to and from the airport as well as staying in the Seattle area. Strange that the city council allowed it but nowhere else can they do this? You might want to price it for Lyft since they allow it on their website.

Good place to eat by Pike Place or SeaTac by the airport is 13 Coins. They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner when they are open, wide variety of food. https://www.13coins.com/

That's a good place to stay it's close to Pike Place market, walking distance to many waterfront attractions. There's construction going on to reinforced the retaining wall but hopefully will be done by summer.

From the crew video they don't have microwave ovens unless there's one in their cafeteria. I'd skip it and just give them gift cards as they are able to receive packages. That way they can get whatever they really need.

Found some pictures of Wonder. Can't wait until March 4th! https://www.instagram.com/p/CZBo9XroIkk/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CVsuUYlBO3E/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CUjTCiQBHwj/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CUxU2TrhMwP/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CV5HM9rsuG0/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CTpHt3QhR3H/?utm_medium=copy_link Play area under construction: https://www.instagram.com/kento1701/p/CYzVKAbBPNF/?utm_medium=copy_link Pool deck: https://www.instagram.com/p/CV45T5-B-pN/?utm_medium=copy_link Auqa Theater: https://www.instagram.com/p/CV2vjrVhR6O/?utm_medium=copy_link Central Park under construction: https://www.instagram.com/kento1701/p/CVW4DDjhpmX/?utm_medium=copy_link Ultimate ABBYS: https://www.instagram.com/p/CU54zDHhTR-/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CUXYhDmhAYg/?utm_medium=copy_link MDR: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUQxAkZB_fZ/?utm_medium=copy_link

Absolutely!! So excited for this to happen! Hope they give out something acknowledging this as the inaugural sailing!

@twangsterThanks for the explanation. Seems a lot of work just to earn more points, we cruise a couple times a year but always stay in a suite because it's our only vacation time. Think if I make diamond plus I'll be happy as those perks seem pretty good for the amount we cruise. This seems to be a great strategy if you are young and want to achieve pinnacle early on.

Laura Schwerzler Stratigic Account Manager at Royal talks about Royal in general but at 18:00 minutes she talks about Wonder in specifics.

Looking at this video from January 19, 2022 still finishing up some areas.
