Drop-off directions, parking info, check-in tips, and ships sailing from Smith Cove Cruise Terminal (Pier 91) at Port of Seattle.

Drop-Off & Parking

Drop-Off

Take W Garfield Way to the terminal entrance at 2001 W Garfield Way. Follow the cruise ship signs from Elliott Ave W. There's a covered drop-off area where porters will take your luggage (tip $2-3 per bag). After dropping off bags and passengers, continue to the parking lot.

Parking

The on-site lot has 800 spaces at $27/day, operated by Republic Parking. Reserve and prepay online to guarantee a spot — summer weekends sell out. RV and oversized vehicle parking is $40/day and must be reserved in advance. The lot has a complimentary shuttle to the terminal entrance. Credit cards accepted; no cash.

Check-In Tips

  • Complete your cruise line's online check-in and have your boarding pass on your phone before arrival
  • Bring a government-issued photo ID and your passport (required for Alaska cruises)
  • Arrive during your assigned boarding time — arriving early won't get you on the ship faster
  • Public transit does not serve Pier 91 — plan for rideshare, shuttle, or private vehicle
