Virgin Voyages Seattle EMBARKATION Tips!

Creator's Key Takeaways
So it's Pier 91. And so the important thing to know is that the Smith Cove cruise terminal is where Virgin Voyages is sailing out of and not Pier 66, which is downtown by Pike Place.
One thing I definitely recommend is printing your luggage tags in advance, tagging your luggages so you really can just drop them off and then head in to embark.
I would say the other thing, the third thing I would definitely recommend cuz this one this one threw me off. And everyone Oh my god, there are so many sailors on this sailing. I'm so happy to be meeting and seeing again. Uh pack some layers.
Another key tip, don't forget you can bring two bottles of wine. Not magnum bottles, not humongous boxes of wine. You can bring two normal ass bottles of wine at embarkation per stateroom, not per person.

Things I wish I knew about Seattle embarkation for Virgin Voyages cruise! This video is members only first! In this video, I’m sharing what it was actually like boarding Brilliant Lady from Seattle’s Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Pier 91, including which Seattle cruise port Virgin uses, when to arrive, luggage drop-off, printed luggage tags, Rockstar vs non-Rockstar check-in, and what to keep with you before boarding. I’m also sharing what disembarkation was like, including luggage pickup, customs, taxis vs Uber/Lyft, and why the rideshare pickup area might not be the best choice if you have a lot of luggage. Hopefully this helps you plan ahead and start your Virgin Voyages Alaska cruise with way less stress. 📍 PIER 91 ADDRESS: Smith Cove Cruise Terminal, 2001 W Garfield St, Seattle, WA 98119 🏔️ Get my FREE Alaska packing list, port map, tips, and more!! https://christinelozada.com/alaska/ 📝Get on the EMAIL list! https://christinelozada.com/newsletter/ 🎥 See the Alaska PLAYLIST! https://youtu.be/v8Xvq234Alo Blog post about wine: https://christinelozada.com/can-you-bring-wine-on-virgin-voyages/ Blog post about what not to bring: https://christinelozada.com/virgin-voyages-prohibited-items/ Wanna play pickleball?
