We had 3 days in Seattle which was nice, warm weather, and everything was within walking distance. It was a good workout before the cruise...lots of hills.
Seattle terminal was so easy, had a shuttle drop us off around 12, dropped luggage off outside, and proceeded to walk basically right to the boat. Our check in lady (Grandmother type) was awesome and very nice---and got through our party of 6 in no time. Then we walked right on the ship, 20 mins.
The Miracle was very nice, yes it is starting to show its age, but its still a nice ship. Not sure if I cared for the naked women statues in the ballroom. But that's just the mom of a teenage boy talking.
Very Nice room. Enough storage space. Didn't hear any neighbors. Could barely hear the fog horn, kind of disappointed. You are close to elevators and stairs for easy access to Lido deck and Main dining room. laundry area is also on deck 7--mid ship. On Alaska cruise the boat only docks on this side once, so no one is peaking in on you.
