Does anyone have suggestions for where to stay close to Pike Market? We would like to just walk. We are coming in a day before our cruise and would like to explore. Also, is the Space Needle close by? Would love to see that also. I was looking at the Holiday inn downtown. It's about .08 from the Market. Would that be walkable? Thanks for any responses.

Thank you for this. We were on 11 on the Crown and they couldn't see in the balcony from above. I appreciate your help.

As far as balconies go on the Ruby, it all depends on what you like and don't like about a balcony, not just its size.

 

 

 

On Ruby, I had a balcony cabin (mid aft as far forward as you can get). This way you basically are mid ship but save a few dollars.

 

 

 

We were on Deck 12 for the first time and I found that I like that location most. Being out on our balcony will tell you why. The balconies on deck 9 jut way out so that they are completely uncovered and therefore completely "unprivate." Deck 10's are bigger but that part that juts out and makes it bigger is open to sun, rain, and people's eyes.

 

 

 

Deck 11 I can see right down into from my balcony.

 

 

 

Now my balcony on deck 12 sits back in so that it is completely covered and very private.

 

 

 

Deck above me(deck 14)balcony is right on top of ours so they can't see into ours.

 

 

 

So for the above reasons, I like a balcony front mid-aft on deck 12 on the Ruby.

Great. I just am not familiar with this ship and I don't want to make a mistake. Thanks.

I did check and it's all cabins. Should be quiet. Have a great time on your cruise! Thanks.

Thank you. I agree that any cabin is good! I can't wait. Thanks again!

I'm going to book an Alaskan cruise on the Ruby and I have only been on one other cruise, but not on the Ruby. I was wondering if anyone could give me any hints or advice? I was thinking of choosing a mid-aft balcony on the Baja deck. Is this a good location? I appreciate any and all comments. Thanks!

We were on the Crown in August. I loved it!! When you get off the elevator look at the carpet. Port side has blue carpet with pink edges. That's even number rooms. The starboard side has blues carpet with blues edges. That's odd numbered rooms. There is also a ship that shows which way you are going and tells you which way for your room number. It is very easy to find your room. Enjoy!!! So fun!

We were on the same cruise. It was our first and we loved it!! The food, the staff, and the ship! Can't wait to cruise again! I had read all the tips for newbies and they all came in so handy!! Especially the carpet colors on the port and starboard sides. That helped us so much! So sorry for your trouble at the end.
