Prost Seattle

Take the monorail elevator from the Mezzanine of the link station but get off on 5th avenue turn right.  You’ll just walk across Westlake Park (in front of Westlake Park and you’ll be at the hotel.  Alternatively, turn left off the elevator and walk to Olive Way., turn left again and you’ll be at the hotel.

I cross those railway tracks all the time.  They  run along the Eastern side of Alaskan Way.  Check out the Space Needle web cam and you can see them.

 

Crime stats came from the mayor of Seattle YESTERDAY when he was announcing a new crime prevention program for downtown Seattle.

At the Marriott as was stated, the tracks are behind the hotel.  The tunnel entrance for the trains is directly behind the hotel, you would cross if you went north from the Marriott and then east, but you wouldn’t encounter them if you were going to Pier 66 for example.

If you choose to save some money by taking Link light rail from the airport, a hint that might help you out is when you get to platform, head to the rear.  Most people crowd around the area between the two sets of escalators, and the rear car is usually the most empty.  You are allowed to stow luggage where the bike racks are if they aren’t occupied, and you can usually stow carryons under your seat. 

Head on up to Capitol Hill, lots of activity and restaurants, also the lower Queen Anne neighborhood.  You won’t go hungry. 

NCL uses Pier 66 downtown.  If your flight is late…yikes.

I can't get a straight answer from Princess.

Where does Princess dock in NYC? I have been told both Brooklyn and Manhattan.

I need to book a rental car but not sure where the closest agency will be.

We will be arriving on Island Princess.

NYCruise.com has the information you’re looking for.

My mom died 9 days before we were going on our Hawaii cruise.   How wonderful it would be to finally take her on that cruise.

So sorry for your loss, but what a way to have a final memory of your mother.  

As a heads up, in the summer the security lines frequently snake out of the terminal into the garage.  For real.  I personally wouldn’t book a 10 AM flight after a cruise.  I was a flight attendant for over 35 years  28 of them based in Seattle.  The amount of customers that go through the terminal are far greater than the building can handle comfortably.

That’s what’s on my mom’s statement, just for embarkation and disembarkation.

We are going out of San Francisco in October… does anyone know how to obtain a wheelchair for embarkation while going through the lines and up the ramp? It won’t be needed while onboard but during embarkation and debarkation, it would be helpful…

I needed one for my mother as well, and our travel agent ordered it and it’s on our paperwork.  At the Seattle terminal there’s a special drop off point for mobility assistance passengers, there may be something like that in SF as well. 

Certain large warehouse store travel agencies don’t participate in the upgrade program. 

You mean things have changed since this? 

I can’t imagine the lack of medallion rendered his swim trunks useless.

*whisper whisper whisper*

Oh.  Never mind. 

$110,40 (USD) on the jungle website. 

My mom won’t let me near something like that.  She just knows that I’ll knock it over, and I’m 56!

I bought nice AirTag key chains and fashioned them into necklades.   The rose gold key chain is from Etsy, the carbon fiber is Amazon, both chains are from Amazon.

Another dining question.  O have reserved dinner on every night of our cruise, either specialty or regular DR.  If we decide not to go to the DR one night, do I just cancel the reservation on the app or should I notify the DR in person?

All of the categories above me are sold out though!

I assume that if the categories above me are currently sold out the only way I’d win an upgrade would be if there were a last minute cancellation. 

I’m chuckling, I love this thread as it’s all you, but I went through similar things when I was first trying to figure out the mystery that is Princess.

HELP! I'm feeling lost in switching back to Princess

Don’t worry about feeling lost, they’ll change policies, procedures and pricing at least once before 2024 Alaska season!

They had ALL that time to also work on and perfect the software

I can see where the problem lies…

I travel the route between Seattle and Bellingham about 5-6 times a year, I wouldn’t recommend business class.  You get a $3 coupon and a slightly wider seat, but that’s it, and you pay a lot more money for it.  If you get on in Everett, Stanwood or Mt. Vernon you may not initially get seats together when the train is 100% full, but a lot of people get off in Bellingham, and you’ll be able to snag seats together then.  If you can’t get together initially, go to the club car and you can have a cup of coffee or whatnot and then you’ll be able to be together. 

Also, lately the Seattle to Vancouver route hasn’t been on the Talgo trainsets for a while. 

I think the PVSA should be waived in this situation.

Even though he says that bathing suits are required in the sauna - nobody is policing that.

 

 

My hubby and I are thinking about doing a 15 day Viking UK cruise.  I don’t think I’d leave the thermal spa.
