Seattle Pre-Cruise
Flew in the saturday before the Tuesday cruise departture and as luck would have it, we made it to the tail end of their week long heatwave. Which meant that when we landed at noon, it will be closer to 95-100 degrees walking from the airport to the hotel. Yep, I, being as cheap as I am, decided on the hotels across the airport. The walk wasn’t too bad,but I didn’t anticipate that it can be unpleasantly warm.
For anybody who wanted to save on Seattle stays pre cruise, I would recommend getting one of the hotels across the SeaTac airport. That is, if you are ok to walk with your luggage. The elevator at the end of the overpass to International Blvd is convenient to go to the surface street. The Link Metro rail is on the 3rd level so getting a round trip pass was perfectly easy way to go to downtown seattle, pike place, Space needle, etc.
