Sorry, I'm back. But, only for a moment. After checking into our hotel, we walked down to the Pike Place Market. I had the best Fried Oyster Po'Boy ever! And I have had them all over the US. This was fantastic and I highly recommend "Seatown Rub Shack & FishFry." Debbie had a Salmon Sandwich and we shared Steamed Mussels as an appetizer. Everything was great! Btw, the market was a sea of humanity today. Okay, now I'm really done! 🤣

Well folks, this is a wrap for us! We had a great time and made great new friends. I do not want to sound like a Princess Fan Club, but having cruised with a number of different cruise lines over the past 35 years, the crews on Princess have proven to us to be the most friendly and kind. Kudos to the crews despite the challenges that the pandemic and the corporate cut backs have affected them! They are the reason we stay loyal to the brand. We will now spend 3 nights at the Downtown Seattle Hyatt Regency before flying home to LAX. We will spend one of our days visiting with my cousin and her husband at their home in Issaquah. The next cruise for us will the October 17th, 32-day voyage on the Coral Princess, Singapore to Los Angeles. We will be spending a week in Singapore prior to boarding the ship. This voyage will take us to Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and Hawaii. ¡Adiós!

Our last cappuccino of the cruise was a work of art!!!

Good morning Seattle! It's going to be a clear, warm day.

Omg, did we get surprised tonight at dinner! Mohammed, the Chef de Cuisine, surprised us with our main course. He prepared fresh halibut from The Catch for us and the Cheesecake Creme Brulee from the Crown Grill for dessert! Delicious!!! This is a fabulous crew! Many tears were shed tonight as we said goodbye! Several friendships were reinforced and many others were made!

Our son, in Northern Idaho, just sent us these photos from last night. He was up until 1 am taking photos.

We just received the dreaded "Your Fun Time Onboard Is Over" information!!! 😢

We are now in International waters. All bars will be open tonight! 🍷🥂

Tim, we'll be down the hall from you guys. We are in mid-ship Reserve mini on Baja.

Now called Reserve Collection. Princess has dropped using the word "class." You may occasionally see it referred to on pages that have not yet been updated. We know how long it takes them to update all of their information!

The last day of our cruise looks to be a calm sea day. Last night, we were deep into REM stage by the time the Northern Lights appeared 😴. We are fortunate to have seen them many times in the past.

I just texted you the below...
