packercruising 126 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Inspired by a blog post the other day, I checked out RCI Vancouver to Hawaii. I know the ship is required to have at least one foreign port on its itinerary, but do we? On Ovation Of The Seas, it starts in Vancouver, but its next port is Seattle. Is it possible to embark in Seattle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it possible to embark in Seattle You cannot embark in Seattle and end in Hawaii that is a violation of the PVSA. They move the ship to Vancouver exactly for this reason. Since the ship embarks in a foreign country (Canada) it can stop in Seattle and end in Hawaii. It's easy to get from Seattle to Vancouver so I wouldn't let the Canadian embarkation change your mind.

RCVoyager 415 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Highly doubtful I would highly recommend one of these repositioning cruises. We did one a few years ago (Ensenada MX to HI). It was a really good value. We had to check-in in San Diego and then bus to Ensenada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
packercruising 126 Posted October 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Thanks. We nixed that one anyway. Separate question. I am ready to post a review for our Adventure Of The Seas Snowbird cruise, but don't sea a place to do that. What is the procedure? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

12thman 201 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 If you have time you can take the Amtrak Cascades train to Vancouver. Just beware that if it has been raining there's a good chance of a mudslide on the tracks. Amtrak will shutdown service for 2 days to be sure the hillside has stabilized.

Looking to do something like this when we come to Seattle before the cruise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goes along the coast and we saw great scenery..eagles flying along side the train, etc. Very relaxing way to go and super easy to navigate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it goes from the King street station all the way to Vancouver B.C. https://www.amtrakcascades.com/ Since you like planes there's the Boeing Tour in Everett, it's where the 777, 767, KC 46 Tanker, 747 and 787 are built. It's a history of Boeing and a tour of the factory. https://www.futureofflight.org/ For an aerial view there's Kenmore Air. It's a Beaver float plane that flys from Vancouver B.C downtown to Lake Union. https://www.kenmoreair.com/ Matt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
