This will be our 3rd cruise to Alaska, our itinerary is as follows:

July 9th leave FLL to Seattle, hit Pikes Market after throwing luggage in our room

July 10th - Take a 10 hour tour of Mt. Rainer

July 11th - thinking about taking a ferry over to one of the islands for the day

July 12th - go back to Pikes Market before boarding the ship so I can pick up some flowers.

July 13th - at sea, taking it easy and learning our way around the ship

July 14th - DH's BIRTHDAY!! Ketchikan - Coastal Wildlife cruise

July 15th - Tracy Arm (keeping fingers crossed that we are able to make it all the way in on this cruise.

July 16th - Eagle Preserve Wildlife River Adventure

July 17th - at sea

July 18th - Victoria, BC - going back to Buchart Gardens

July 19th - docking back in Seattle, spending one last day

July 20th - Flying back to FLL

At least I don't have to go back to work until the 25th.

I'm so looking forward to seeing Seattle and Alaska in July since the last 2 trips have both been in Sept.

I had tried several days before with Priceline and wasn't getting anywhere, so on a fluke I tried Hotwire and hit the Mother load........:D It's only for 1 night and I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. One of my co-workers also need a hotel in Seattle but in June, so I quick gave her a phone call and my then that quote wasn't available anymore....:(

Good luck!!

We're also looking to book the Silver Cloud Stadium thru Hotwire, but for mid-September. So far, it appears as though only the Crowne Plaza is available. Like you, we need to be close to the train station, so that we can make the early morning train to Vancouver.

 

How long were you looking on Hotwire before you finally got this booking? I see that you were about 4 months out between the time you booked and your actual stay, but did you have to go to Hotwire several times before it finally appeared?

 

Thanks for the input!

Becky, how many stars & what area did you bid? Would love to get this since it is so close to the train station. Thanks

I did it thur Hotwire. It's a 3.5 star.

I got the Silver Cloud-Stadium for our post cruise one night-7/19 for $107. Were already staying in downtown pre-cruise @ the Westin for 3 nights.

I've been to them and I have to say that it was not worth the time.

I just got the Westin in Seattle for $160 on Priceline for July 9th-12th............VERY HAPPY!!!!

While it's nice to receive gifts in our cabins, remember Nothing is Free. If your TA skipped the gift, perhaps your price might have been a little lower.

 

That wasn't the case with us:( and I even got her 2 more cust's. besides DH and myself. And she worked for a co-worker's sister.

With my upcoming Alaskan Cruise I did better price wise and cabin placement that she did for us last year.

Any feedback on the Fairmont Waterfront?? How close is it to Canada Place?
