La Nina weather system is almost here so Seattle may not have as hot of a summer that it has had the past 3. Very mild weather all year (not too hot, not too cold) so air conditioning is pretty rare in these parts. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

Inn at the Market has the best location. But please be careful. Seattle is a big city and the downtown area is not safe after dark.

I was kind of wondering this, when I was young 1st Ave and Pike Place market...and especially Pioneer Square were very very dicey. I understand there has been some revitalization of the area in the last 35 years since I have been. What I am wondering..

I rented a 2 bed apt on Queen Anne hill for a couple days prior to our cruise. My friends are staying at the Motif. My plan is to walk down and meet them for the days activities and then Uber or bus it back. Will it be safe to walk in the day or early evening? (I don't want to walk back, I remember the hills in Seattle lol)

"Elegant nights" were 2 and 6, I think. On our cruise it was a pretty laid back affair.

Are there 2 formal nights? And what nights are they? So looking forward to our cruise on Aug 30th :) Thanks!

I filled out the form and just picked an arbitrary day on our cruise. I got an email back asking if I was reserving the Chef's Table or the Steakhouse lol Told them the Chef's Table...still waiting to hear back :)

If there is more than one to a cabin, Poopourri. It works :)

Smaller then Splender, bigger then the other two.

Thanks doneinne, that's what I thought :)

I wish I felt like a pro after three cruises:-). What date are you leaving on?

I live on forums when researching vacations. By the time we took our land based vacation in Puerto Vallarta, you'd of thought I'd lived there, I researched so much. Same thing for cruises...and I really relaxed once I realized there are Walmarts everywhere :D We leave on Aug 30 :)

I never post in here anymore. 3 cruises and I feel like a pro! But...always a few questions. Booked a balcony on the Panorama deck, paid air to Seattle, airbnb for 2 days to hang out, FTTF, all excursions paid, Cheers program paid, wear layers, bring bug spray...and am going with my son and a friend of over 35 years and her family...this is going to be a great time. BUT as usual, I have a couple questions.....

Steakhouse or Chef's Table? We have done the Chef's Table a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed it. We also live in Vegas and have great restaurants and steakhouses here....but we have never done a Carnival steakhouse. Thoughts?

Size of the ship? We have sailed on the Paradise, the Imagination and the Splendor. Is the Legend in between those sizes, or smaller than the Paradise? Or bigger than the Splendor? Mostly just curious on this one...those numbers on the website mean very little to me.

Is Luggage Express a done deal for sure? I would love that program but see mixed posts about it being gone or not...

Thanks everyone!

Love the review so far! We are booked for this cruise September 2016. I can't wait!
