Avoid check-in lines for Princess to Alaska

[DiRonT]

We are staying at Crowne Plaza at Sea-Tac night before cruise.  Don't have to check out until noon and we are in no rush to stand in lines at port (been there, done that).   If we arrive at port between 12:30 and 1:00 do you think we will have avoided the big crowds?

Probably. But every sailing is different.

Fewer crowds at Pier 91 beginning around 1:30 PM.  With Princess, just make sure you do all your online check-in so you are in the Green line.

Try to drop your luggage off with a porter outside, and just accept however long it takes you to get thru the security line.

Enjoy your cruise.

I think finding the porter outside is the key! I never even saw the ‘luggage line’!
