My girlfriends and I will be joining you today for our annual GF cruise. It's our 1 day a year to get together and just laugh and laugh with no husbands, children or school to worry about. We'll all be wearing matching purple t-shirts, and we'll be at the pool/hot tubs rain or shine! Looking like we'll get a little shine today! See you onboard soon!

Only one car ahead of me in the Nexus lane. Sailed through. Should be in downtown Seattle by 10:30.

The National/Enterprise return garage was a little hard to get to with all the one-way streets, but made it. They also have a free shuttle to Pier 91, which I'm currently on.

We will be on the Ruby the end of this month. I have seen bad reviews on the food. Please let us know what you think.

Keep posting the photos. Makes me feel that I am there with you!

Enjoy!

Through check-in and waiting to board. They haven't started yet, so perfect timing getting here from Vancouver.

Love the Dolphin deck mini-suites. Haven't been in one since the Caribbean Princess a couple of years ago. Great upgrade from a guaranteed inside!

The casino is open tonight on the Ruby, so I suspect they just didn't want to staff it yesterday on the Crown.

I was trying hard to make these sailings, I had to book out later...going on the Oct 4th sailing. I'm living thru you right now from my couch in arizona!

How is the bed? Since they switched to the "luxury" bedding...it looks comfy. Does it feel soft?

Thank you for posting, I'm super excited to go

MDR Lunch...

I was headed for pizza for second lunch, but I never made it past the Trident Grill... they'll put your dog and bun on the grill if you ask.

And the Thermal Suite

The heated loungers are more comfortable than they look!

Loving your live from! I have great memories of the Ruby when she was in Ft. Lauderdale. I see we will be sailing together on 12/11 Regal. Stop by the rollcall :)
