Generally, you are responsible for getting to/from the ship. Fly, drive, etc.
Flying In/Out - You can arrange with the cruise line to have a charter bus pick you up at the airport and deliver you to the cruise port. And you can arrange the same outbound transportation as well. This option is available for purchase here: Port Transfers. Please read the details for this merch item completely so we can get the transfer arranged for you.
Driving In/Out - If you are driving in, there is usually a monitored parking lot for you to park your vehicle during the week. There is a fee that is handled through the port, not the cruise line. For this cruise, the Port of Seattle will have information regarding this.
BGG Events will also be arranging a shuttle transfer from our group hotel, the Hyatt Place Seattle Downtown, to the port. As soon as we have the details, you will be able to purchase this directly through the [Merch Link] (link tbd). We will not however be arranging a group shuttle after the cruise. We anticipate most will want to go straight to the airport instead of back to the group hotel, and that can be accomplished by purchasing a Departure Transfer via RCCL. If you need to get back to the group hotel you will need to arrange your own taxi / Uber / Lyft.
Wifi on the ship is generally not freely available though you can purchase an internet access package from the cruise line. The speeds are generally slower than home, so don't plan on streaming regularly (though the recent upgrade to StarLink on some RCCL ships is improving that). However, the speed is usually sufficient for viewing email and internet browsing. You can purchase internet packages through Royal Caribbean's site, or get a discounted rate for our group through BGG Events here.
BGG@SEA group members from the United States, except the state of New York, wanting Travel Protection must purchase this through BGG. This cannot be purchased from Royal Caribbean directly because of our group contract.

Dining Packages - If you would like to dine in one of the specialty restaurants, you may purchase a Dining Package through Royal Caribbean's site. However, this is not required. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and snacks are widely available and included in the General Dining areas.
