May signals the beginning of boating season, which also means the beginning of cruise season at the Port of Seattle. This year the port
expects 202 cruise ship visits through Elliott Bay and an estimated 864,330 passengers. Nearly all will be destined for the glaciers of Alaska on one of 11 premier cruise ships.? New this season is Disney Cruise Line?s Disney Wonder, scheduled to depart on Mondays from Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Pier 91. This 1,754-passenger vessel will offer seven-day itineraries. Other cruise line newcomers will include the Norwegian Jewel and the Star Princess.? You can get a glimpse of what?s in store by visiting the new cruise website.
When I moved to Seattle, everyone told me that I’d be able to find great cruise deals as a “local” because they offer deep discounts to fill the ships. ?Can anyone tell me where to look for these deals? ?Thanks!
