My current class doesn't finish until May 5th. Then, I've got exactly a week before another begins. A week turns out to the perfect amount of time.
We'll head out on Saturday the 6th by first taking the Quick Shuttle down to Seattle to catch the flight to San Diego. After three nights, we'll board Holland America's Veendam. Subsequently, there's a leisurely, 5-night trip up the coast with a free half day in Seattle and a complete day in Victoria. We're back in Vancouver on Sunday the 14th, just in time for a new class the next day.
The ship was in the Caribbean for the winter. The day it docks at Vancouver, it'll begin a summer of cruising the Inside Passage to Alaska and back.
