Celebrity Solstice Inside Passage ' Beautiful Alaska!
We arrived in Seattle one day prior to cruise. We were very pleased with Shuttle Express private car service. We chose private car over shared shuttle to maximize our one day in Seattle. Private car from Airport to Hotel and then Pier 91 to Airport was only $18 more total after using AAA discount. We stayed at Red Lion Hotel which was ideally situated to walk around downtown Seattle. We wish we had planned at least two full days to explore Seattle.
Embarkation:
Celebrity Solstic inside cabin 9148 was great. Cabin was forward so we only had minor awareness of sea on the days we were not in the inside passage. olstice Theatre was also forward so just a quick hop on the elevator and then on to the main shopping venues in the middle of the ship. Quiet area away from all the activity - you did have to walk a bit to get to most of the food, bars, etc. but we didn't mind the walking with all the extra food we consumed on the cruise. The two twins converted nicely into a king bed and had plenty of room for two people - all suitcases fit under the bed. We stored shoes in the smallest suitcase. Closet was sufficient, we did bring extra hangers from home which we left. Refrigerator got cool, but not super cold but did the job. Clever design and use of space in cabin and bathroom. Able to store all our toiletries on the shelves in the bathroom.
