Drop-Off & Parking
How much is parking at Smith Cove Cruise Terminal (Pier 91)?
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 July 29, 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.
Where do you drop off passengers at Smith Cove Cruise Terminal (Pier 91)?
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.
What should you know before check-in at Smith Cove Cruise Terminal (Pier 91)?
- Complete your cruise line's online check-in and have your boarding pass on your phone before arrival
- Bring a government-issued photo ID. A passport isn't strictly required on a round-trip Seattle sailing, but bring one anyway — and it is required if your cruise ends in Vancouver rather than returning here
- Arrive during your assigned boarding time — arriving early won't get you on the ship faster
- There's no light rail here, and the nearest bus stops leave a walk that isn't realistic with cruise luggage — plan for rideshare, shuttle, or private vehicle
