Complimentary Port Valet Service in Seattle

[TriumphGuy]

I tried to search for any info but the search engine on this site is awful. 
The Port of Seattle offers a complimentary luggage handling service at the end of your cruise, from ship directly to home. No need to haul luggage around or check in.

It almost seems to good to be true. Has anyone used this service and how has it worked out? Appreciate any responses. Thanks.

Discussed quite extensively on the West Coast Departures board. Many good threads there. It is very good.

Thank you, there are a lot. I don't know why the search didn't just take me there.

We'll give it Port Valet a try.

The service offered is great, and the program has had glowing reviews here on CC over the past few years.  It not only helps the passengers whose flights qualify for it, and it also helps SeaTac with less congestion around the ticketing counters.  It also gives an economic boost to Seattle when passengers can spend a few extra hours after their cruise exploring and doing touristy things without having to worry about schlepping luggage around.  It's a win-win for everyone.

Pier 91 staff orientation was this weekend and pier management said they haven't heard about whether Carnival will be participating in Port Valet.

OK. I thought I heard a month or so ago that Carnival would be participating.

Our flight is at 11:55 AM.  Any chance Port Valet will accept and allow us to use the service?

Have you looked at their website? I think the earliest acceptable flight is 11:30, but check their website.

Our flight is at 11:35. I emailed them and asked and they said no, flight time MUST be after noon.

[jbpcalifornia]

I thought the cut-off was noon and their web site confirmed it.  I understand that they have to set a time.  😌

From what I can tell, this is for checked bags only, right?

 

So it won't handle carry on and I still need to figure that part out?

@chicchic325 The Purple Store next to Pike Place Market stores luggage.
