Cruise SeasonMay through October (Alaska season)

Pier 91 — officially Smith Cove Cruise Terminal — is Seattle's largest and busiest cruise terminal, handling the majority of Alaska season passenger volume. Situated on Elliott Bay north of downtown in the Interbay/Smith Cove area, it sits further from the city center than Pier 66, making the transfer route and timing more consequential. The approach along 15th Ave West and W Garfield Street is straightforward, but embarkation morning congestion at the terminal itself can be significant when multiple ships are sailing the same day.

Lal Limo handles Pier 91 transfers with the same flat-rate, door-to-pier professionalism as every other booking — your chauffeur arrives at your hotel or residence, loads every bag, and delivers you directly to the Pier 91 vehicle drop-off zone. For disembarkation, Lal coordinates pickup timing with the ship's return and waits at the terminal until you're off and ready. No shared shuttles, no waiting in line for a rideshare outside a busy cruise terminal.
