Port of Seattle cruise ship pics

[c-cruise]

Went to downtown Seattle today and took some pics of the various ships in town (Diamond Princess, Oosterdam, Veendam). It was a rainy and overcast afternoon, certainly not ideal for photos, but you will get the general idea. Diamond Princess and Oosterdam are docked at terminal 30 and the Veendam is in dry dock at Todd Shipyard. I noticed the webcam on the Diamond was not opperational today so I thought I would post these for those of you heading to Seattle this summer.

Thanks for sharing. We are sailing on the Sapphire the week before you. Seeing the ships in port makes me realize how close we are to sailing.
Since you live in Seatle maybe you know the answer to my question. We have tickets to see the Mariners on 6/27. We plan on taking a cab from the Sheraton to the ballpark but have no idea of how we'll return!! Do you know if there is any public transportation from the ballpark to downtown?
TIA

Thanks! We will be seeing Diamond in all her splendor on May 22nd, and for the second time. We sailed her 2 weeks ago can't wait to get home.

Glad you like the pictures. To answer your question about the June 27th Mariners game, you should have no trouble finding a cab back to the Sheraton after the game. It is an afternoon game 1:05 start so it should end around 4:00-4:30.

You could also investigate taking a Metro bus back to the Sheraton. They have many special routes for Mariner games. Below is a link to the Metro Mariners page.

Hope this helps.

Absolutely fabu photos! Would you email me a couple? I was on the Diamond but got no full length shots of her last weekend. I like #44883 and #44899. My email is [email]SuzyCruisy@aol.com[/email] and I have broadband so I can take a really big download.

Thanks in advance, and no problem if you can't !

MNYTRPS2GO2,
Go to the Northwest corner of the ballbark, across the street from the Left Field entrance to Safeco Field, at the corner of Royal Brougham Way and Occidental Ave S. This is where the cabs line up for fares.
You'll have to be sure to go up to the 300 level at Safeco and you'll see the new Sapphire Princess docked a few blocks from the field, loading up for it's Alaska cruise.

C-CRUISE and MARLINMIKE
Thank you both for your information.It will be put to very good use. We are so use to having access to a car everywhere we go we never gave transportation to the park any thought. Since we will be getting off the Sapphire that morning and will be spending the day at the ballgame we decided not to rent a car this time.

Where is the link to view the pictures of the ships once you get to cruise addicts?

[sunnyv]

When I click on the link, I get a page with a double column of Cruise @ddicts?!?!?

Am I doing something wrong?

C-Cruise, Great pics but I have a question of the picture (#44894) of the balconies. Where were you when you took this picture, Are you in an aft balcony cabin. What cabin are you in or are you on a deck just looking over. I will be in an aft balcony cabin on the Aloha deck #A744 & A746, were you close to these Thanks Roy

[dorotha]

Thanks for the photos. We'll be on the Sapphire with you on the 27th. I have 2 questions for you, if you would be so kind...
1) you mentioned a Mariners game at 1:05. Will the traffic be terrible trying to get to the dock? We plan on spending the night before down on the Columbia River & then drive to Seattle on the 27th, but I'm not sure that leaves enough time.
2) From where did you take the photo looking down on the balconies? We're on Aloha deck & I'm not sure I'd want anyone from the Lido pool dropping ice cream on my head! I thought the Aloha balconies were totally covered.

Great shots - thanks!

dortha,

The shot looking down on the balconies is a shot of the Oosterdam not the Diamond Princess. So no need to worry about the falling ice cream

The traffic is always bad in Seattle, the Mariners game will just add that much more to it. Safeco Field is very close to Terminal 30, so yes I would expect some congestion starting a couple of hours before game time.

I had the same problem as Vicki. How do I pull up the pictures? Thanks

[dgebhart]

If anyone can tell me why I cannot get the pics of Seattle posted by c-cruise about May 8. It is strange that some people were able to pull up the pictures while we were not. Have tried everything I could think of to get them. PLEASE HELP!! We are great cruisers and would love to have seen these. Thanks.

[blmanke]

I have tried several times to see the pictures but they will NOT come up.
Oh well....it is 7 a.m. and we will be on board the DIAMOND in just a couple of hours !!!!
