Carnival Spirit, Thu, August 12, 2027

Carnival Spirit sails from Pier 91, the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal. The previous cruise ends here the same day, so arriving and departing passengers share the terminal.

Book Seatac → Pier 91, Thu, Aug 12Ride back, Thu, Aug 19

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

Pier 91 has more than one ship this day, so the terminal curb and the roads to it are busier than on a one-ship day. Book the ride ahead, leave extra margin, and arrive in the window your cruise line assigned.
