When Can You Board Anthem of the Seas?

Royal Caribbean gives you an arrival time slot picked in the Royal App and printed on your mobile boarding pass. Arrive at your assigned boarding time — not earlier. You must be checked in and aboard no later than 90 minutes before port operations close.

Where you park

Parking at Smith Cove is prepaid and priced by voyage length rather than by the day — about $187 for a 7-day cruise in the economy zone, with fees, taxes and the terminal shuttle included (USP Parking, checked August 27, 2026). A reservation isn't strictly required for general parking, but the operator recommends booking ahead to guarantee a space in peak Alaska season, and cancellations must be made seven days before your booking date. Oversized and RV spaces exist but are limited, reservation is mandatory for that zone, and the operator prices it separately — check when you book.

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.

Local Tip

Anthem of the Seas docks at Pier 91 (Smith Cove), which is about a $12-18 Uber from downtown Seattle. The on-site lot is prepaid online with USP Parking — about $187 for a 7-day cruise in the economy zone — so reserve before you arrive, especially for summer Saturday sailings. If you have time the night before, Sushi Kashiba at Pike Place Market offers some of the best omakase in the Pacific Northwest, but book weeks in advance.
