Princess Margurite or Royal Victorian

[Koastal Karl]

I was just curious if anyone on here ever got the chance to ride the Queen of Burnaby when she was the Royal Victorian or the PM3 to Seattle??? I got the chance to ride her once when she was the PM3 during the summer of 98. We took the 7:30am sailing from Victoria,Ogden Point and got into Seattle at 12 noon. Then that trip we came back on the Clipper. PM/RV used to depart Seattle at 1pm for the return to Victoria arriving at 5:30pm. 4.5 hour sailing. Her dock in Seattle you would go right past the WSF terminal at Colmon dock. I remember going past there and seeing two big Jumbo Mark Two class ferries sitting there. I wonder what is there now at the old dock area where she used to dock in Seattle?

I also wonder seeing I only got on her once if she had the same interior when she was with Royal Victorian that being with the Victoria Clipper as the PM3???

I know, I was talking about if there was any difference in the interior when she was the Royal Victorian and the Princess Margurite?

I was in Vancouver and watching them lower the "Royal Victorian" back into the water at the Panamax Dry Dock at North Van when she was been refitted for the Seattle run. This is the first time I witness a vessle been lowerd in to the water from dry dock.

The only other vessle I saw was the Pacificat Explorer when she was launched.

Currently there's a Russian Submarine docked there. The loading slip was removed last year.
