Live B2B2B2B Carnival Spirit Alaska/Panama Canal/Caribbean

[meskel503]

Looking forward to your views on the Spirt.  We were on her in May, we had a great time and enjoyed the ship.  We also had great weather, hope you do also.

 

We will be joining you for the Panama Canal crossing and the staying on for 2-day Nassau and then for the 8-day Caribbean. So, a b2b2b for days.

Excited to "follow" along with you!!  Being from AZ, I am jealous of the Alaska weather you will be having!

 

Happy exploring!

Thanks. Weather is perfect already after two weeks in Europe where air conditioning wad considered a luxury. Wonderful crisp to the air without being cold at all.

Nice that's my itinerary also plus Alaska. See you onboard.

We abandoned the bus idea. Looked at a couple options including the city bus (eek) and ended uo going with the train.

 

The Front desk was very helpful and told us we were a 10 minute walk to the light rail so that's what we did. Got a little lost but we made it and now we are on our way.

Excited to read follow your review! I'll be joining you for the 8 day on October 8th. Whenever you get onboard, could you find out who the Alchemy bartenders are?

Looking forward to get this party started. Thank you.

My pleasure thanks for reading along.

So once we got on the train we took the stop to the space needle. We needed to purchase a ticket for the tram that took us to the space needle.

 

We passed by many art installations along the way.

 

 

We needed a bathroom break first so followed the signs that led inside where a cultural festival was going on.

 

 

 

I tried some bubble tea for the first time and my mom and I shared some lunch.

 

 

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

That lunch was very good although quite expensive at $18. I also enjoyed the bubble tea but again very expensive at $8.

 

Next we headed to the space needle.

 

 

A couple photos from the top.

Next door was the Chihuly glass museum which was included with our city pass so we headed there next.

 

 

 

Some photos of the works on display.

Cont.

Along the way there was a glass blowing demonstration that I stopped to watch and I found it neat to watch.

 

Afterwards my mom was getting tired so we made the journey back to our hotel and saved the rest of our city pass for the next day.

 

Walking back

 

 

A lot of political flyers posted on the street poles.

 

 

Most of them were anti police rhetoric.

 

 

 

 

It's a tough town to be a cop in. I can't imagine trying to protect and serve a population that finds this acceptable to hang in public, and its everywhere.

[jam19872016]

One final observation and I will stop bashing Seattle lol. A bag was .08, water is sold in cartons, and there were billboards all over proclaiming how green Seattle is but.....

 

 

Seattle is filthy. I noticed the same thing in Europe (which also proclaims to be green). The streets are filled with litter. Maybe they have also defunded the trash collectors and street cleaners?

 

 

[jam19872016]

And we are caught up. We are about to head back out for some dinner. More food pics soon 😋.

[jam19872016]

Found a place right next door. Group coming out said it was so so good 👍

 

 

I LOVE Indian food so I'm happy.

 

The smells in here are amazing.

[jam19872016]

I ordered Lamb Rogan Josh at the second highest spicy level.

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

Dinner was good. Service not so much. I ordered baklava for dessert but it never came. I took that as a sign I didn't need it. Walked to the nearby 7-11 and grabbed a snack for each of us for dessert.

 

My mom wasn't crazy about hers. It was her first time trying Indian food and she wasn't a fan. I will be eating her butter chicken for breakfast tomorrow lol.

[jam19872016]

Still no test results.

 

Going to bed. Taking the harbor cruise at 1045am.

 

Good night.

We will be joing you on the Panama canal leg of your journey . We did Seattle in May before our NCL Alaskan cruise and enjoyed the Needle and glass gardens . Also Pike's market was very good .

[pirate4me2]

Oh man, this sounds like an awesome trip! I'll be following along! 

[jam19872016]

Good morning. Indian food for dinner....I knew it was going to be a problem but I have zero regrets 😁.

 

Today the plan is to take the argosy harbor cruise and visit the woodland park zoo.
