their website has a picture of a cruise ship on it, and says its only two miles away.....so if that brings you any comfort.....

[MikeNKim]

Awesome checking it out now. All I was finding where hotels over $200 so glad to see there is something more reasonable out there.

[royd1968]

[MikeNKim]

awesome....that is great news. We should get the info on the Seattle portion of our webpage maybe others would be interested

[Purplehaze21]

Hummm will do some more checking on tripadvisor but that price works for me. We will probably come in 2 nights early to get accustommed to the time change,

 

You know what? Excellent point. I never thought about the time change. I'de be going to bed at midnight and it would be 9:00pm :eek:

[royd1968]

if anyone wants to get out of the city, there is a place near my house, its the silverdale beach resort......there are tons of great reviews.....if any of you decide this is an option....I can pick you up from the airport...or there is actually a shuttle right from sea tac airport that takes you to the front door.....then on cruise day, we can all load up in a van, take a ride on the seattle ferry and get dropped off right at the cruise ship....just an idea......as you can probably tell, im bored here tonight......for those of you that dont know me, hmmm? I guess thats all of you...Im a truck driver, I travel all across the country, tonight im in sioux falls s.d, heading to new york..

[Purplehaze21]

I am jealous! I've always wanted to go to NY. I think we would of been sometime since its only about a 10 hour drive (I think)

I was just telling Dan I was a little nervous about Seattle. Our other cruises, we just drove to port. This is totally different. I was nervous about flying~trying to find hotels~and getting to the port. You are a wealth of information Roy!

[MikeNKim]

I dont do nyc in my big rig...I stick to upstate ny.....its much nicer up there..

[royd1968]

does anyone have an Idea how many people have signed on for this yet? just wondering

[Purplehaze21]

I agree Kim. The more I read and hear, the more excited I am getting and we have so long to go.

Everytime we take a trip, it seems to be Myrtle beach or Nebraska. We are planning a 4 night trip to the beach in August. This time, no kids or Grandkids :D

[Purplehaze21]

I don't know the exact number yet Roy. I looked at the page that has it listed but I don't know how many are now confirmed.

[happylady]

I like the idea of the Holiday Inn. We were looking for something reasonable downtown and I had actually already looked at this hotel as a possible. What's your take on the Comfort Suites on Roy St?

 

We're thinking of flying in on Sunday so we can have a couple days to do the tourist stuff....and try to get use to the time change. :rolleyes:

 

Right now I have 25 1/2 (the 1/2 is Annette's grandson) listed on the spread sheet that have either booked with Johna or another method. I'm probably missing a few, but those are the people that have been posting and want to be part of this group. If I've missed you and you want to be included....speak up!!:eek:

[Nuttycruisegirl]

Sorry Nutty, not sure about the deposit. I know it was extended but not sure how long.

 

Annette, should be on shortly and she can fill you in.

 

Also we have a group cruise set up under Group cruises near the bottom of the main discussion page. There might be info there.

 

Kim

 

 

Thanks! I'll look there....:)

Hi Kathi! Thanks for the welcome...I'll give Johna a buzz...I love her! She hears from me way too much....Too much for her and my credit card! :D;)

[anamanxs]

If anyone gets info on the Holiday Inn we can post a thread in member folder under Seattle Hotels. We also will be arriving either Sat or Sunday, guess it depend on the bargins we get. I think Jenny's group is also arriving on Sat or Sunday. I went in and told my boss I needed 2 weeks off today....didn't go to well so I told 10 days!

[Nuttycruisegirl]

Thanks Annette for the response...I'll give Johna a call...Your cats are beautiful by the way...I'm owned by cats myself! ;):D

[anamanxs]

He is beautiful! I love the Cream and white's!

[anamanxs]

It looks like Comfort Inn also has some hotels around the area with reasonable rates. The rates around now should be about the same as next year. We probably should book early since they may have a big deal since this is the first Carnival round trip out of Seattle.
