Amtrak from seattle

Do you think we could make getting to Amtrak for a 9:50 am depart

after ship docks from Alaska cruise… carnival spirit ?

Yes. Just walk off and catch a cab. Should make it with no problem.

You should be okay—we did that a couple of times preCovid.  Not off a Carnival cruise though, Princess for  us.  We didn’t check our bags.  We just carried them on the train (we generally travel with backpacks and carry-ons).

King Street station is picky about checked bags - we've seen them enforce a hard cutoff of 45mins pre-departure many times - so if you do need help with bags off the ship and to check them with Amtrak, you want to be off the ship in the earliest disembarkation group you can swing.

 

If you can self-disembark, and humph your own suitcases up a few steps (King St does not have a platform at train floor height, little stepladders are put under each carriage door) you've got plenty of padding time - Amtrak does not cut you off from boarding like a plane does, if you don't need porters you can just roll in a few minutes before departure.
