agree- ISP is a great stop

We were in ISP a couple of years ago & are going back July on the QE with our son. We went on a whale watching tour with https://wooshkeetaantours.com/about-us/ & are scheduled to go with him again. Saw whales breaching & a mother whale & baby followed us back towards the port for about 20 minutes. It was like they knew his boat. He was local. Not a fancy boat, but he was very knowable. Knew all about the Salmon fishing and the way it worked as an industry.

We did this in 2018 after an Alaska cruise and it was such a wonderful day! When we visited, Chihuly also had a baggage check, so we put a small carry on in there while we were at Garden and Glass. Took the rail from near there to connect for the airport. Loved having our boarding passes in hand after the cruise.

Thank you for positive feedback. Glad to know Port Valet works. We saw the Chihuly Traveling exhibit at Cheekwood Gardens in Nashville. Can't wait to see his Seattle location.

This "Free Service" is clearly an attempt to get you hooked on baggage transfer service for every cruise henceforth.  If you think you will go back to the days of being a pack mule and hauling your luggage bags through the ports and trains, and cab, and airports after this "Free Service" think again. 

Just like when they "Gave me a really low cost upgrade to a suite" on one cruise. I had no idea how much that Low Cost Upgrade would cost in all the following years of cruising. You can never go back...

 

I read the service was organized by the Seattle Tourism Organization to iencourage you to spend more time visiting before your flight out. We have a late flight and want to go to Chihuly Gardens. Would be difficult to do and drag luggage around. Glad service is available.
