No, we knew where to go in Seattle. Visited Crittenden Locks in Ballard, Kerry Park, Pikes Market and went into the Space Needle.

Definitely Balcony which we always do but haven’t never done ship tour in 4 cruises to date- may have to check that out on next years Hawaii cruise. Thanks for the tips!

At the reception desk. Don't leave it too late as they only take about 12 people. Cost about $100.
