hopelea Posted February 24, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Weather in Seattle ( I know possible rain :rolleyes: ). What my kids want to know is if the ships pool will be open right after we board and if it would be warm enough for them to swim. It might be their only chance before heading to Alaska. :D Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calikak Posted February 24, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2006 What month are you going and what ship? Late July and August are usually 70's-80's and sunny around here, and September is often warm and dry. May/June tend to be more like 60's to low 70's at best. Some of the ships going to Alaska have pools with a retractable roof that they keep closed so you can still swim--they did that on Diamond Princess in 2004.

hopelea Posted February 25, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted February 25, 2006 NCL, Sun out of Seattle. May 27, 2006:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calikak Posted February 27, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It's probably hit or miss--sometimes Memorial Day weekend is nice, sometimes it's cool and rainy. I wouldn't expect it to be over 70 or under 50. I'm not familiar with any of the NCL ships, so you might want to ask on the NCL board if there's a covered pool. FYI, that weekend is the Folklife Festival at Seattle Center (where the Space Needle is). Great shopping for arts & crafts items, plenty of live music, lots of food booths, and very big crowds. Give yourself extra time if you're visiting the Space Needle or Experience Music Project that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopelea Posted February 27, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted February 27, 2006 When do all those activities start? I think we are staying downtown on Friday night the 26th. It sounds like fun. We are planning on taking the kids to the space needle. I am glad you told us about this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calikak Posted February 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2006 It starts on Friday and runs through Monday, 11AM-11PM. The festival is free (of course, the Space Needle isn't!) but they have a $5 suggested donation. Here's their website: http://www.nwfolklife.org/P_F/festival.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
