Leaving Check-in area

[Jorhammer]

In the Seattle port, can you go check-in and then leave to stroll around Seattle while we wait to sail away?

you'll have to clear security again.... best bet is to drop your bags with the porters and then walk around and check in later.

Thanks for the info. Going back through security wont bother us.

How early can you drop bags off with the porters? I didn't realize that was an option but would enjoy having some time to wander around Pike Market.

Those security lines can be long. I don't know if it was just when I went through Seattle last year, but it was hot and stuffy in the first part of the building where security is. Once your past there it get's better, until we got to the room where check-in is.

It is a steep hike up from Alaskan Way to the rest of the city, either on streets with a steep grade or many flights of stairs into the back of the market. If you have any disabilities or are not up for the workout, there is an elevator and skybridge, and another elevator accessed from the back of the parking garage.

Bag drop opens early (ship starts self walk off at 6:45 with baggage hall bays by 8:00). Catch a cab up to the top by Pikes and walk down.
