YouTube Video Description

Have you booked an Alaska cruise sailing out of Seattle, Washington? In this video, we take you through our full embarkation day experience boarding the Star Princess at Seattle’s Pier 91. We start at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, collect our bags, figure out the train to Westlake Station, grab an Uber, and make our way to the cruise terminal. Once we arrive at Pier 91, things get a little confusing with Princess Cruises and Holland America boarding side by side… and yes, we almost ended up in the wrong place. From the baggage claim delay to the train, Uber, terminal crowds, passport checks, security, medallion pickup, and finally walking onto the beautiful Star Princess, we show you what the process was really like. If you are cruising to Alaska from Seattle, especially from Pier 91, this may help you know what to expect before embarkation day. ❤️ Love Traveling with Us?
