Creator's Key Takeaways
This is hands down one of my favorite departure ports in the entire country, and by the end of this video, you'll understand exactly why.
Seattle has this really awesome thing called Port Valet. It is absolutely amazing. I wish all ports offered this because it makes disembarkcation feel so smooth.
I highly recommend it. I have heard from a few cruisers here and there in Port Valet. Their bags got lost. I've used it though. It was seamless, flawless, not a problem.
Mount Reneer, which I tacked on after an Alaskan cruise, I rented a car, drove to Mount Reneer, spent the day, drove back and took my long red eyee flight home.
