I never said you suggested that. Wow people keep putting words in my mouth on this post for some reason. I was just answering the OP's original question and people keep saying I'm doing something else. I have no problem with you or SCX22. Y'all can think whatever you want about Seattle and do whatever you think you need to do to keep yourself safe, I really don't care and I never told or suggested you do otherwise. I just think the OP should keep their hotel booking, that's ALL I'm saying, and that's all I'm going to say despite some people's efforts to the contrary. I'm sorry about your car, I didn't know, but frankly that's not enough to keep me away from Seattle, Portland, or anywhere else; that's my personal choice but y'all are free to make completely different choices. Avoid places, keep crossing the street, stay in at night - it's cool with me. I'm just recommending the OP not be afraid to travel. Beyond that, I really have nothing to say on the subject. I think the issues you and SCX22 have aren't with anything I ACTUALLY said

Why wait for something to happen? could be used to justify pretty much anything. I share your concern about the proliferation of guns and if you want to repeal the second amendment I'm with you but that wasn't quite where I was going I'm not saying don't be cautious, I'm saying don't cancel your hotel booking If nothing happened to a resident in 35 years and a frequent visitor like me, I think a tourist has high probability of being fine for 2 days, statistically speaking
-
I'm sorry to hear that but I have to ask, in 35 years has anything ever happened to you there?

The cost of it being cheap I guess. Also pent up demand as that line was shut down for a couple years during the pandemic and only somewhat recently re-opened

I go to Seattle all the time, never feel unsafe and never seen or heard a shooting

The train is lovely and you can upgrade to business class for cheap

Seattle to Vancouver post cruise shuttle
CoW mAn replied to Jcol5786's topic in West Coast Departures
The Amtrak train is a lovely trip and spacious smooth ride but doesn't run frequently but that would be my choice -
Make sure you're aware of the difference between an adapter and a converter and when you need which

Do you think guest behavior is linked to a particular ship?
CoW mAn replied to Drew B 58's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I sailed on the Venezia and there was none of that In my experience it depends on the time of year and departure port For example Spring Break is a VERY different crowd from pretty much the entire rest of the year And sailing out of Texas there seems to be a very different crowd from any other departure port in my experience -
On your boarding pass? Your boarding pass after online checkin should be Gold but on the rest of the website it will show you as Red until after your Gold cruise. If the boarding pass or your S&S card are wrong go to Guest Services and they can sort it out pretty quick

Since you're getting your phone ready may I also recommend downloading offline maps of the ports you're headed to? You never know when you might need it 😉

Fly to a 12 Day itinerary with no checked bags?
CoW mAn replied to midnightferret's topic in First Time Cruisers
I did 27 days in Europe with only carryon, I didn't even find it challenging From the cruising experience I recently did a 15 day transatlantic cruise and it was no issue -
It sounds like you may be over-packing on the cold weather clothes a little. In August a full-zip fleece will probably be sufficient most of the time

My friend gets really bad sea sickness. We tried everything, ideal room placement in terms of midships and deck, all the things they tell you to eat, all the patches and in the end none of it made much of a difference until he found this TENS device, now it doesn't matter where on the ship we book. If there's any chance it offers relief it could be worth a try, they say it works for 85% of people...

My friend tried everything and nothing gave him relief until he discovered this TENS wristband...

The one I review in the video is cruise compliant, I've taken it on tons of cruises so it's safe option

Uber is cheaper than a cab/taxi but the real trick to save even more is to book it in advance if you can Here's a breakdown of the costs I encountered in December
-
The train from Seattle to Vancouver is lovely and relatively inexpensive, it just doesn't run very frequently but if the times work for you it could be a good option
-
"Inexpensive" means different things to different people A full zip fleece would come in very handy if you know their sizes and it's within your budget Alternatively an outlet extender could be a lifesaver...

If the crowds get to be too much a visit to the hidden decks or the hot tubs on Deck 5 might offer a nice reprieve that isn't just going back to your stateroom

Man, that flag is almost always out for repairs these days
