Virgin Voyages Seattle EMBARKATION Tips!

from Virgin Voyages Tips Hosted by Christine Lozada

Things I wish I knew about Seattle embarkation for Virgin Voyages cruise! This video is members-only first! In this video, I’m sharing what it was actually like boarding Brilliant Lady from Seattle’s Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Pier 91, including which Seattle cruise port Virgin uses, when to arrive, luggage drop-off, printed luggage tags, Rockstar vs non-Rockstar check-in, and what to keep with you before boarding. I’m also sharing what disembarkation was like, including luggage pickup, customs, taxis vs Uber/Lyft, and why the rideshare pickup area might not be the best choice if you have a lot of luggage. Hopefully this helps you plan ahead and start your Virgin Voyages Alaska cruise with way less stress. 📍 PIER 91 ADDRESS: Smith Cove Cruise Terminal, 2001 W Garfield St, Seattle, WA 98119 🏔️ Get my FREE Alaska packing list, port map, tips, and more!!https://christinelozada.com/alaska/ 📝Get on the EMAIL list!https://christinelozada.com/newsletter/ 🎥 See the Alaska PLAYLIST!https://youtu.be/v8Xvq234Alo Blog post about what not to bring:https://christinelozada.com/virgin-voyages-prohibited-items/ Wanna play pickleball?
