We are going on a Royal Caribbean cruise (so a really big ship), in mid Sept, we aren’t super active so your cruise sounds way too challenging for us! Not worked out flights yet but will probably do 2 weeks away from home - our cruise is 7 nights.
Visits Skagway, Juneau, Victoria and Endicott Arms and Dawes Glacier. I’ll check out hotel options, we aren’t good at public transport (we have almost none at home) but managed in DC and NYC so if it is similar we might cope

Sounds fab, really hope you see whales and bears, we saw lots on our last trip 5 years ago.
Juneau is fun, we end our cruise there and have an airbnd booked for a few days, you could get a cab or tour to the Mendenhall (sp) glacier or go up the cable car that is walking distance from the docks, the views are magnificent from the top and there are some short walks if you don't fancy a hike. The sea planes buzz in and out of Juneau, they are fun to watch. You will not regret it, Alaska gets under your skin! |

Parking is expensive and you won't need a car as transport so good. I second the Go Seattle card as it saved us a lot of $.
I've done a trip report - in signature - if you want to have a look. We had 3 nights there before driving south. Highly recommend the free walking tour (via Tripadviser) as he was just great. Feel free to PM me if you've got any questions. Hope to be going back in September - 3rd attempt, so fingers crossed we don't have to cancel again!

Chilhouey Sculpture Park by the Space Needle is worth visiting and I enjoyed the Gold Rush Museum in Pioneer Square as well. Pike Place market is full of flowers and fish and you can see the first Starbucks from there too.

Mount Rainier NP is definitely worth the trip! The whole seafront area is great to walk along, and then the obvious of Pike Market and the original Starbucks.
We are also cruising to Alaska but from Vancouver, although flying into Seattle first before travelling up (it just made sense due to airmiles). I am a nervous about all the uncertainty about what the requirements will be. We will arrive into Vancouver over 48 before our departure time, so as things stand that should work, but it's the logistics of getting a test (arggh!). |

Love this thread!
I’m going in June & can’t wait! We’ve had 3 cancellations from 2020 so I’ve just rebooked it. We’re staying in Downtown a lovely little boutique hotel called hotel Max, seems walkable to most places. Loving all the suggestions & we’re big music people (early 90s grunge) so we’ll be doing lots of stalking of those famous sites!

Any thought on what is a reasonable flight cost (in economy) to Seattle?
I’ve started looking and it seems to be about £1275 for 2 adults with Virgin and BA in Sept. If I add a pre cruise hotel (5 nights) I can get a total price of about £2000 but not sure if that’s good or not?

We paid about £800 each but it’s a hotel & flight package with BA.
We’re going for a week so I thought this was a fab price!

Has anyone stayed at (or visited) the Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle?
