Cruise season in Seattle is well underway with most of the 298 scheduled sailings offered by almost 10 different cruise lines heading north to Alaska.
The newest additon: the Cunard Line’s newly refreshed Queen Elizabeth, which is spending its first home port season in Seattle. The vessel set sail on Thursday for the first of eleven 7- to 12- night sailings from now through September.
Founded in 1840 and now owned by the Carnival Corporation, Cunard is synonymous with elegance, luxury, bespoke experiences and service.
On the refreshed Queen Elizabeth, there’s all that plus a new wellness cafe and a Harper’s Bazaar-branded series of spa treaments.
The Stuck at the Airport cruise review team had a chance to tour the ship while it was in port. Here are a few snaps from our visit.
If you do cruise out of Seattle, keep in mind that the Port of Seattle, which operates the cruise terminals and the airport, offers complimentary luggage transfer between your cruise ship and your airline at the end of your cruise.
The Port Valet luggage transfer services means cruise passengers who disembark in the morning and don’t have to fly out till later in the day don’t have to drag bags with them through the city, find a place to store them or stand in line to check bags the airport.
It’s both a great cruise amenity AND a great airport amenity.
