hello everyone we are Sharon and Jamie from sharony travel and we are back with another cruise port guide

the Port of Seattle located in Elliot Bay offers two separate Cruise terminals just a few miles from one another

I loved the Homewood Suites because it was two blocks from a Safeway grocery store for all of our pre-cruise needs

the service is called Port valet and you can learn more about it on your cruise or go online at portseattle.org
