Creator's Key Takeaways

foreign debarkation warning for us around 9 30 a.m was as chaotic as embarkation morning

we all really enjoyed the aquarium and got the chance to speak with staff who are outside taking water samples

Pioneer Square is an area of significant historical value to Seattle and while they've tried to revitalize the area it was a major disappointment

The Underground Tour itself was also underwhelming most of it was shut down due to safety issues

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use Lyft from the terminal back to the hotel instead of the shuttle to the rideshare lot
βœ“Reserve tickets in advance for the Seattle Aquarium to get lower prices
βœ“Check out the Seattle City Pass Program if in Seattle for a day or two before or after your cruise
βœ“Buy tickets in advance for the Seattle Great Wheel to save money
βœ“Avoid walking in Pioneer Square area after dark
