Thanks. I will check them out.  1st time alaska/visiting Seattle.  26 times out of Florida:) so im used the the Florida protocols, and where to stay and not stay.  But when it comes to other ports, I like to reach out to people and get ideas 
 

Our vote is for the smaller ships.  We did the Northbound Alaska & Hubbard Glacier Post Cruise Tour in June 2017 on the Radiance of the Seas from Vancouver...The best cruise we have ever taken.  The Dog Sledding on the Mendenhall Glacier by Helicopter even though expensive was worth every penny and awesome way to experience the glacier.  Whale watching at Icy Straight Point we got our best photo ever of a group of whales bubble feeding.  We liked the land tour so much we have decided to do another land tour when we go back this June on the Serenade of the Seas except we are going to do the Canadian Rockies instead of Alaska.   

We loved the Ovation of the Seas and enjoyed its itinerary when we sailed in 2019. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt which was downtown in a very convenient location. The port is located about a 15 minute drive from the downtown area and there are no hotels nearby. Due to where the port is located, just walking from the street to the terminal would be quite a distance and not preferable. Count on a shuttle/taxi/Uber type of transportation. The uber/lyft drop off is about a 1/4 mile from the terminal but a very easy walk.

We are booked in August 2022 on the Ovation of the Seas! We are all super excited to go! First time going to Alaska, and looking for some ideas for places to stay in Seattle and things to do.  We will have 1 full day in Seattle and we are taking my In-Laws who are older with mobility issues.  So it would either need to be within walking distance or a shuttle.   If anyone has any ideas it would be great! I feel like I'm going crazy planning all of it! 🙂
