Well, I chose C716 on Enchanted, but it's not connecting on her, while it appears to be a connecting cabin on Majestic and Regal. So, I'd pick something right next to it, but not connecting.

Thank you will check out the deck plan

Nothing particular I would mention.  Looking forward to seeing what E4xx will be like. 

 

Something else - I use the Princess deck plans to avoid any cabin with higher occupancy than 2 as we don't want upper berths hanging on the walls.  Note that on some ships, the upper berths are recessed in the ceiling, so it isn't an issue.  Island and Coral are like that and I am not sure how many more of the older ships.  I know you are looking at Inside, but just note that all Balcony cabins with extra berths have them recessed into the ceiling, so NBD.

 

I also avoid corridors with a lot of cabins that take 3/4 people as it is an opportunity for more noise.  Again, the deck plans on Princess.com are useful to identify these areas. 

 

Thank you for all your help

Might depend for me on sector where cruising as might like to be on Riviera sideways oriented in the IB range just fwd of mid-ship.  Aft of center not a problem either.  I say that as often can get the IB's for same price as IF.  Otherwise, an IA isn't a lot more than a IB.

 

Also favor mid-ship Emerald E4xx range.  There are five in a row there (port & starboard) just fwd of mid-ship lobby.  I'd go for one of the six middle ones and pass on the end ones in the group.  Emerald is close to the main entertainment and service decks (5 thru 7).  We liked being there when I snagged an Emerald balcony across the hall back in 2019.  Handy for going anywhere but topside (Lido), including heading ashore. 

 

I do like the Sideways, but not so hot on door opening directly into the bedroom and end of bed.  Something to be said for the standard layout where you walk in and have closet and bath area before going around wall to the bed(s).  I am  fine with either layout and would decide more on the deck location we prefer for a particular voyage.  

First of all, I love that you're a Steelers fan. 

Any stateroom numbers which worked good for you?

Thank you for your help

we prefer quiet, non-sideways cabins, so we tend to book deck 9-12 aft for inside cabins. Away from greyed out areas and service corridors. Anything far away from the noise from the dining rooms or the pool deck.

 

For balconies - anything in front of the smokestacks (I hate the smell and soot), and at least 2 decks above the theater and at least 2 decks below the pool deck. We actually love obstructed balconies on Emerald deck because they are usually cheaper than regular balconies, but not obstructed to the point of not actually seeing the ocean.

Oh, and make sure you don't book a connecting cabin. You have to check the cabin description or deck plan if you don't know.

I prefer quiet cabins also . Any stateroom numbers which worked good for you?

Thank you for your help

Please advise which inside stateroom you would recommend on the Regal Princess,🎉thank you

I had a similar situation when I used it last fall. When you sign up online, there is a box where you can explain any fee waivers. I was not charged for the bags that were included (such as for status or that airline that does not charge separately for baggage). I expect there would be a similar process if you sign up on the ship.

Thank you for your help

Thank you everyone for your feedback!  I am going on an Alaska cruise out of Seattle, for the first time and I appreciate all of you.  How was your Alaska cruise?

Again thank you

Thank you for your feedback!

If anyone used the Port Valet in Seattle port please share your experience. Any problems with your luggage?  Boarding pass?

I would appreciate any details.

Thank you very much

Thank you all for your help

I had heard the downtown Seattle (near Seattle Center) Hampton Inn & Suites on 5^th had a fly/cruise package at one time. Not sure about the airport. With the abbreviated season, it may not be offered.  It is in a better location if you plan to do any exploring downtown and is only 2.5 miles from the Pier 91 cruise terminal.

Thank you for your help

You are very helpful thank you

I read the The Hampton Inn & Suites  has a cruise & fly package but I could not find information

on their website,  any help would be appreciated

The Radisson across the street and the Coast are probably the most convenient.  There is a 13 coins restaurant next door to the Radisson and a Sharps Roast House across the street next to the Coast. The Hampton Inn & Suites works well.  We’ve stayed at these three over the years and would stay at any again with the Radisson being our first choice due proximity to the airport and restaurants.   Another very nice option is the Cedarbrook Lodge which we look forward to someday. It always gets good reviews and makes for a good retreat.

You are very helpful thank you

Can anyone please recommend airport hotel near  Sea–Tac Thank you

Thank you.   We decided to walk from the cruise port.

It is a great walk along the waterfront. The park is only about 1 mile from the cruise terminal.

Thank you

Does anyone have an idea how much it would cost by taxi to get to Beacon Hill Park,from cruise port?  Any suggestion for any other form of transportation?

Thank you

I love gardens and quaint streets. On the Ogden Point Cruise Shuttle  in victoria, which stop would you suggest we get off?  are all stops pickup/drop off?

For round trip are you given a tickets?   Thank you for your help

Great map thank you

Timing is everything for the 24-hour period.  Signing up at some point after you return to the ship on a port day followed by a sea day will give you the maximum benefit.  Signing up in the morning before you leave the ship for the day is a waste.

Great advise thank you

No, you have to turn on WiFi calling while connected to your provider via a cellular signal.  You cannot do this once you are out of range on the ship.  So do it at home.

 

Surf should be fine for voice calls, but video calls will be choppy and have freezes.

Very helpful thank you
