Today was our last day in Seattle.  We had decided to get to the airport early and get breakfast there.  We ordered an Uber to take us there.  We probably arrived around 8:20 AM or so for our 10:20 AM flights.  Nancy’s flight was on time, so after breakfast, she and my younger daughter headed to their gate.

My flight (along with our older daughter), wasn’t until 11:20 AM.  We started getting notifications soon after we got to the airport that our flight would be delayed.  We already had a tight connection in Denver, so I was worried we wouldn’t make it.

We decided to go wait in the United Club.  I asked the desk agents what we could do if our flight was delayed.  They said we would have to spend the night in Denver if we didn’t make our connection because there were no additional seats leaving Denver going to Dulles. 

Luckily, our flight took off and made up time on the way to Denver.  Nancy made it to Chicago and had a 3 hour layover before continuing on to Dulles.

We landed in Denver and ended up running to our other plane, making it with about 5 minutes to spare before the door was closed.  Once we landed at Dulles, we got a text from Nancy telling us she had landed about 15 minutes before us.  She met us at our baggage claim where we picked up our bags.  We jumped in a taxi and returned home.

We had a great first time trip on Royal Caribbean!  Alaska is one of our favorite travel destinations and it was nice to be able to enjoy the natural beauty from an affordable verandah balcony.  You can read about our comparison between our Disney cruise experiences and this Royal Caribbean experience.
