Norwegian Encore, Sun, July 4, 2027

Norwegian Encore sails from Pier 66, the Bell Street Cruise Terminal. The previous cruise ends here the same day, so arriving and departing passengers share the terminal.

Book Seatac → Pier 66, Sun, Jul 4Ride back, Sun, Jul 11

Busy port day: 3 ships in Seattle (1 at Pier 66 and 2 at Pier 91)

With several ships in port, the terminal curbs and the roads around the waterfront are busier than on a quiet day. Book the ride ahead, leave extra margin, and arrive in the window your cruise line assigned.
