We live in Oregon and have taken the train to Seattle many times, we are also familiar with flying there. We also just use Uber/Lyft to get to the port from the hotels/train station/airport.
Safe travels and I hope you are able to figure out the particulars and enjoy your trip.
I have submitted requests for OBC at least 20 times in the last 2 years. You get a confirmation sometimes and sometimes not. If I don’t receive one(even if I do), I always login to my account/select the cruise to check and see if the OBC has been applied. You should get a confirmation, but there have been many times I didn’t get one, but my OBC was applied.
It is about 50/50. Lately, I have been receiving a confirmation after they apply the OBC. I also look online at my booking to see if it has been applied.
We are also D+ and I would never want to arrive to the terminal without luggage tags. I don’t want to bother anyone for help other than to take our bags and get going.
We have also enjoyed our cheers with the Officer on all of our recent cruises. Quantum, Anthem, Navigator, Symphony, Grandeur, Ovation and Explorer. All of them were wonderful and it is our favorite event.
We were on Celebrity Summit last week and we are currently on the Explorer. Both ships were out of Terminal G. Before our Explorer cruise, Royal sent us an email telling us it was terminal G. 😀
We were on the Brilliance in May on a B2B and moved cabins, but they moved our suitcases and all of our hanging items. We were on the Grandeur in September on a B3B and they thought we were going to be changing rooms, we came back after checking out and back in and all of our stuff had been moved and stacked. They cracked my iPad screen.
