Pier 66 Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal

I don’t know what I expected when I went for my first cruise.
My simple complaint was that from the outside I couldn’t figure out for the life of me where the entrance to go in was. how hard would it be to make that obvious to people walking from the cruise terminal parking lot across one street.
In the end we walked down the block until we found the right place, but it would have less stressful if there was adequate signage about where to go.

Embarking and disembarking on our recent Norwegian cruise was basically painless due to the organization and efficiency of the staff here at Pier 66. Excellent work! You definitely assuaged my travel anxieties (yes, I am one of those people who gets nervous with huge crowds in travel situations) and I was super grateful.

I live near here and the top deck is one of my favorite features of the neighborhood. I love to walk my dog here in the morning and check on Mt. Rainier, see if she’s there, (the answer is: sometimes) and check on the Olympic mountains, see if they’re there (the answer is: usually).
I watch some ferries, she watches some seagulls, we watch some tourists, some tourists watch us. On a sunny day, the benches get full of local workers enjoying their lunches in the sun. I’ve even seen a photo shoot in progress up here. I know they probably wanted to ask my little dog to model their Columbia coats or whatever they were… but she doesn’t get out of bed for less than a hundred milk bones! But the roof deck of the pier would be a great place to take photos, or model some photos, especially on a clear day!

Great views, very clean and room to wander as well as sit and take in a beautiful Seattle Summer day. Unfortunately, that lasted about a week and a half this year!
There a few places close by to grab a lunch and then head over here to enjoy it and views from the deck.

Well signed, well organized terminal & very friendly staff. All the airports could learn a thing or two from this cruise terminal.
