I now know when I do an Alaska cruise to plan an extra 2 days, so much to see and do. Definitely. I could probably spend a week here. I’d love to go see the mountain. But I don’t have time to stray away from the downtown area. Maybe if I come back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted May 23, 2022 Author #528 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I didn’t cover this but I did take a PCR test on Saturday. I made sure it was after 12 noon in case they actually pull the 72 hour deal on me. Since all of my boardings have been 11:20-11:45 post covid. I couldn’t get in at Walgreens same day for a PCR. I did get in at a CVS. If I didn’t have the results I would’ve taken my home test this morning which is over on the desk. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogladyrider Posted May 23, 2022 #530 Share Posted May 23, 2022 @Saint Greg.....you truly packed in a LOT on your first day of travel and visiting in Seattle. It was FANTASTIC, thanks for taking us along and sharing all your adventures. We often order Beecher's Mac N Cheese with our monthly Crowd Cow order, it is the BEST. As for Starbucks we are not fans, but it looked crowded for sure. Looks like there were lots of folks out and about, do you think it was because it was a weekend or just travelers in general pre or post cruising. Looking forward to following along the rest of this trip, you do a GREAT job! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted May 23, 2022 Author #531 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) City pass notification was cool the first time. But it stays there the 24/7 since I’m always close to something. Doesn’t matter if I’ve already done argosy or the space needle it will pop up for them. Edited May 23, 2022 by Saint Greg 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I think today is the day a lot of cruisers will show up. And they’re going to do space needle and chihuly. I’m thinking an early start before any of those people get here is a good idea. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted May 23, 2022 Author #533 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Now I need to finish VeriFLY and ArriveCAN. And get my stuff printed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted May 23, 2022 Author #534 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Oh no. I never changed VeriFLY when I changed cruises. I gotta start all over! Well I guess I don’t have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted May 23, 2022 Author #535 Share Posted May 23, 2022 ArriveCAN and VeriFLY are good. I saved my arrive can and cruise documents to my phone so I can email them to the front desk to be printed if I need to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelGirlinDallas Posted May 23, 2022 #536 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Wow. I've been to the original Starbucks many times and I've never seen it backed up like that. I guess I've mostly been there when it wasn't summer. At least now I know what to expect when we will be there in July... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boat tour guide yesterday said get there when they open otherwise you’re waiting an hour for a coffee you can get on any corner here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember visiting Seattle a handful of times, the Space Needle is always busy especially around dusk while people are waiting to photo the city lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted May 23, 2022 Author #540 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I got my documents printed. It’s not that they don’t have a business center. They have five printers installed on this computer and only one is attached. So your average citizen has problems with it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted May 23, 2022 Author #544 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) These bakeries smell good. They’re all that’s open this early. I’m stopping At Piroshky after Starbucks. Piroshky had a line down the sidewalk yesterday. Edited May 23, 2022 by Saint Greg 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gotta pose sitting on the bench, laying down on the bench, standing on the bench, leaning back against the glass on the bench. It’s too much. I couldn’t take three steps without running into someone’s picture. I had to get away from it. With all that picture taking going on up there, you're bound to end up in someone's vacation photo album... 3 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted May 23, 2022 Author #549 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I wanted something I could only get here so I went with the cookies and cream. A small one. Then a venti pike place. They did not have the cafe Verona I got in the airport. They pulled the typical Starbucks do you have a dark roast? Yes. Then they give me pike place with is medium. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
