Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to share with you the embarkation process at Pier 91 in Seattle. We embarked on June 21st on our Princess cruise.

If you stay at the DoubleTree, they run 24 hours, they run their shuttles between the airport and the hotel every 20 minutes. It's free.

We are tickled pink to be on the Star Princess. We thoroughly enjoyed this ship. You know, when I come on this ship, I think, 'Oh, this is my favorite ship.'

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the free 24-hour hotel shuttle if staying at the DoubleTree SeaTac instead of an Uber.

✓Keep medically important items and valuables in your carry-on as luggage may not arrive immediately.

✓Have a screenshot of your boarding pass and your passport ready and handy.

✓If security attempts to confiscate an item you believe is allowed, ask to speak with a supervisor.

✓If you want to avoid long lines at the terminal, use the Princess transfer service.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Security confiscating personal items — Check with a supervisor if you feel an item is being wrongly confiscated; items are usually returned at disembarkation.

Navigating the terminal and transfers — Use the Princess transfer for shorter lines and keep your passport easily accessible.

Today I'm sharing exactly what it was like boarding Star Princess at Seattle's Pier 91 for our Alaska cruise! There have been a few changes this year, so I wanted to walk you through the entire embarkation process—from arriving at Sea-Tac Airport, Princess transfers, luggage drop-off, security, Medallion pickup, and finally stepping aboard Star Princess. I'll also tell you about something that happened during security that has NEVER happened to me in more than 40 cruises! If you're sailing from Seattle this year, I hope these tips help make your embarkation day smooth and stress-free. Have you cruised from Seattle recently?
