Getting to the port

Arrival timing basics

  • Aim to arrive in your cruise line check-in window, not at ship departure time.
  • Add buffer for Seattle traffic, terminal queues, and security screening.
  • Keep travel documents, luggage tags, and medication in your carry-on.

Cruise line instructions always take priority over general guidance.
