We are first time cruisers and will be departing on 7/21 from Seattle on the Westderdam for an Alaska cruise. We are flying into Seattle from Oakland, CA, the day before departure and Iām trying to figure out logistics. Mainly, which hotel is best for the night before, in terms of proximity to cruise port, cruise port transportation, etc. In particular, we have a 5-year old that requires a car seat so transport like shuttle buses/coaches, would be preferred over private passenger vehicle/van since the later requires car seats. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/tips.
