Seattle to Vancouver 1 day (weird)

[grhoney]

So I am booked to sail from vancouver down the west coast.... mexican rivera and finally off in san diego. I saw the 1 day from seattle to vancouver. So I figured why not book that also???? Well when I called I was told no no... it violates the jones act, whatever that is. Even if I book it seperately it still a no no. Oh well... Guess I will have to just be happy with the 12 day already booked.

I had the one day from Seattle Booked along with a Hawaii. I had to cancel the one day because it was in violation of the PSA. Be glad that they did not go ahead and book you.

I know how you feel! It is an outdated law.

It's because you're taking a continuous voyage that is now going from Seattle to San Diego (2 diff US ports) and you are not touching "a distant foreign port" (which really translates to a different continent for the most part) inbetween.
