Pictures of Carnival Splendor in Seattle today

[c-cruise]

Here are some quick pics I took of the Carnival Splendor at Terminal 91 in Seattle today. Can't recall ever seeing a Carnival ship in Seattle before, anybody know if they have called here in the past?

Mariner of the Seas was also here today, but I didn't have time to go down town and get pictures of her.

 

Hope you enjoy!

Nice pictures

Thanks for the pics, not sure if Carnival has been there before and this is just a one-time thing because of the Mexican port restrictions right now.

They will be sailing out of here full time during the 2010 Alaska season, but have not been here before now to my knowledge.

This is Carnival Splendour's first visit to Seattle. She is a brand new ship.

 

Just an FYI the Carnival ship that will be in Seattle is Carnival Spirit - a different class of ship.

[c-cruise]

Knew this was Splendor's first visit to Seattle (and likely last) and that Spirit is sailing out of here next year, but wasn't sure that any Carnival ship had been to Seattle before on a repositioning cruise stop. Certainly not in recent memory anyways.

You said you didn't have time to go "downtown" for pics of Mariner. So, she didn't dock at Pier 91? I was told that is where we would dock. I would rather be closer to downtown.

Mariner docked at Pier 66.

Yeah, Mariner docked downtown at Pier 66 and Splendor was at the new terminal North of downtown. The two terminals aren't that far apart, maybe 2 miles, but Pier 66 is in a really congested area downtown and parking around there is a pain . Terminal 91 is in kind of a remote area without much traffic and is easy (for a local) to zip in and out of. Plus there is a couple parks right there with free parking and good places for getting pictures. I am going to try to get pictures of Mariner at 66 next week assuming they don't change her schedule back to Mexico.

They better NOT change her schedule! We are slated to set sail on her for a Pacific NW Costal cruise in 3 weeks! I just spent a small fortune & quite a few hours repurchasing cool weather clothes:eek:

 

RCCL has Mariner scheduled for the PNW cruises through their June 14 sailing. After that, if the CDC & WHO agree....Mariner may return back to the Mexican Riv....maybe:rolleyes:

Here is a picture of Carnival Splendor on Friday headed back south. We were on the Star Princess headed north. Between San Francisco and Seattle.

Very cool, thanks for sharing. I noticed that Splendor was in Vancouver today, you can see her very well on their webcam.

great pics.....doesn't look like that pier would be great for walking as it looks kinda far from downtown?

[c-cruise]

Yeah, Terminal 91 is about two miles North of downtown. There is a bike trail that goes the whole way into town so it is walkable on a nice weather day if you had the time.

Thanks for posting the pictures. We missed the Splendor!
