373.0. "Pacific Coast Cruise - Sun Viking" by ATSE::FLAHERTY (Wings of fire: Percie and me) Fri Jun 05 1992 16:48

    Has anybody sailed on a Pacific Coastal cruise?  These cruises take
    place when the ship is repositioning from Alaska to Mexico or visa
    versa.  We're booked on RCCL's Sun Viking for the September 20th 7-day
    cruise.  Having been on more than a dozen cruises I know we'll have a
    wonderful time.  This is the first cruise for my fiance', this will be
    a honeymoon cruise.  8^)
    
    We'll be flying to Seattle, Washington a week before the cruise for a
    chance to visit my son who attends college in Olympia and my fiance's
    brother who lives in Redmond (as well as some DEC friends we know out
    there).  The cruise leaves from Vancouver, B.C., stops at Victoria,
    B.C., Seattle, San Francisco, and ends up in LA.  We hope there are
    tours available that take one outside these major cities as we're more
    interested in seeing the mountains/forests/ocean parks.  Any
    suggestions of sites of interest along those lines would be appreciated.
    
    Also, someone was telling me that on cruises now in lieu of tuxes, some
    men are wearing cumberbuns and bow ties with suits.  Has anyone done or
    seen this?  The person said it looked sharp.
    
    Thanks,
