This was our 5th Carnival Cruise, the 1st to Alaska.
We flew into Seattle and stayed at Airport Hampton Inn & Suites. Nice hotel but when phoning for the hotel shuttle for pick up who knew that there are 3 Hampton chain hotels at the airport so be sure to call the correct one. Took 45 min for correct shuttle bus to pick us up (this was after 4 hr flight delay in Chicago) and arriving at 1130 (0230 EST). :(
Cab ride to port was $57. A wee bit steep. Would have been cheaper to get a shuttle.
