My advice, for any cruise, is to arrive at least the day before your cruise departs to avoid stress of same day travel, and give you some time to explore the destination. Seattle's Waterfront is a great location to spend your time prior to departure. There are many hotels within walking distance to the waterfront. You may even be able to arrange an inexpensive shuttle to the pier from your hotel.
Pictured above is Miner's Landing and the Seattle Great Wheel on Pier 57 of Seattle's Historic Waterfront. Take a ride on the Great Wheel and see Seattle from your 8 passenger gondola. Day or night the view is amazing. Grab something to eat in one of the restaurants along the Waterfront or just take a leisurely stroll along the pier.

Have You Seen Flying Fish
If not, you can in Seattle's Public Market.
The Pike Place Fish Market, founded in 1930, is an open air fish market located in Seattle, Washington's Pike Place Market, at the corner of Pike Street and Pike Place. It is known for their tradition of fishmongers throwing fish that customers have purchased, before they are wrapped.
The store is now a popular tourist destination in Seattle, attracting up to 10,000 daily visitors, and is often billed as world-famous. A must-see for foodies.
There's much more to see and do in Seattle. We'll cover more about this homeport in another blog post. This week #FoodTravelChat is talking about World Markets. Seattle's market is world famous and worth consideration for foodies and non-foodies alike.
