Coastal Repositioning

[susanmaz]

Has anyone done a Pacific Coast repositioning cruise from Vancouver down in September? We're looking at this as an alternative to flying round-trip on a visit to family in Seattle next year?

I've been from Vancouver to L.A. several times at the end of the Alaskan season. I think it would make a terrific alternative to a flight. They don't usually make any stops--it's just 3 days at sea; but that's 3 very nice days. Was there anything in particular you were curious about?

Not looking for anything in particular - just wondering if anyone thought it was a crazy idea - like "don't waste your time" or something along those lines. I figure it would be worth it just to get a meal on the ride home ... not to mention not losing my luggage.

Not crazy at all! I think it's a great idea. I don't think I'd pack and fly to Vancouver just to cruise back; but as part of a package deal, heck yes.

We visit Washington area and have thought about this cruise, both going and coming. I do not think it is a bad idea.

Yeah - we'd be going to visit family in the Olympia / Seattle area. I like to go in September so we can do the Puyallup Fair . . . for whatever reason, I really enjoy that fair. It just seems like the times fall into place. I almost have DH convinced it would fun to fly up - sail back.
