We arrived in Seattle on Thursday for a Saturday sail. We stayed at the Shafer Baillie Mansion B & B. Fifty-dollar taxi from airport. This is a beautifully restored three-story house on Seattle's "Millionaires Row".
Old water tower one block away in a nice park provides a great view of Seattle. Walk to downtown is 2.25 miles down hill. Number 10 bus stops one block from B & B. Too many eateries and pubs and great happy hours in Seattle!
Taxi to port was $22. We arrived 30 minutes before boarding. Ship check-in was fast and orderly. We went straight to the Lido deck for buffet lunch - OK but I think crew is not up to speed as they restock for the coming cruise. We returned to our cabin to find our luggage had been delivered. We had ocean view cabins this obstructed views as advertised. Lifeboats obstructed the bottom third of 4' X 3' window. We could not see straight down but could see water and sites straight out - not bad. Cabin is furnished basic with two twins pushed together two night stands, desk, two chairs, TV and refrigerator. Closet area was of good size. Now for the bathroom think small. There is no sharing a shower here. It is pretty much a one-person room. But if I was to choose between my house and the cabin I would take the cruise you make do. We were located over the casino but never heard a sound.
