Cruising KPs

I just got a flight change on my post-cruise flight from Seattle, and don’t know if I should schedule a different flight. My flight was originally scheduled for 1:40pm and was moved to 11:40am. My ship is the Holland America Eurodam (which I believe will be in Pier 91) and we arrive back in Seattle on Saturday, 6/15 at 7:00 am. Can we make the 11:40 flight, or should we look for something else? The alternatives would be a 1:40 flight on a different airline (not a big deal to use a different airline), take a red-eye Saturday night, or spend Saturday night in Seattle and take a morning flight on Sunday (we're flying back to the east coast). Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

DW and I are sailing out of Cape Liberty in September for 9 nights. We live in CT and it's about a 2.5 hour drive to port. After reading various recent reports of parking issues, traffic getting into the port, and with the way Connecticut traffic has often been the last couple of years, we're considering driving down the day before. Any suggestions on park-and-cruise packages are nearby hotels? How does one book such a package? I've checked various hotel sites and can't find where to book the package. Also, I'm assuming we'd have to take a Uber/Lyft from the hotel to the port - do taxis and ride shares get to drive directly into the port even if there is a big backup of people who are parking on site, or do they have to wait in the traffic with everyone else? Thank you in advance for any responses.

Hi Jessica - thank you so much for sharing your trip - it was great to follow along. DW and I are sailing out of Cape Liberty in September on Adventure for the N.E./Canada itinerary - we'll be sure to wave hello when we dock in Halifax! A question about the Hampton Inn - how did you book it? Did you call the hotel directly? I can't find anything online for a park-and-cruise package at that particular hotel, but it sounds like a great idea. We're coming from Connecticut and between the varying reports of parking concerns, traffic getting into the port, and the way Connecticut traffic has gotten to be, we're seriously considering driving down the day before and doing what you guys did. Any feedback on that?
