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

The Star Princess usually sails out of Pier 91, where the on-site lot is prepaid through USP Parking — about $187 for a 7-day cruise in the economy zone. If you're arriving the night before, Cutters Crabhouse near Pike Place has panoramic Elliott Bay views and excellent Dungeness crab cakes for a pre-cruise splurge.
