Smith Cove Cruise Terminal

9/14/2025 - Surprised and surprised, the Port of Seattle, known as SMITH COVE CRUISE TERMINAL, still does not have a digital facial technology (数字面部技术) for all cruise ships' guests. When we exited the cruise ship and walked through a final security exit point, we must pull out our passport and showed the security staff, who must read the contents of the password and match the face with the passport photo, etc., which dramatically slows the flow of the exit from more than 3,000 to 4,000 guests. In comparison, the Port of Los Angeles or the Port of Long Beach Cruise Terminal has been using a more secured digital facial recognition technology. As a result, the disembarkation is so fast - must give the leadership at the City of Los Angeles and Long Beach a thump up!!! Where is Microsoft or Amazon's leadership in Seattle? Please help the Port of Seattle to adopt a pervasive digital facial recognition technology at the SMITH COVE CRUISE TERMINAL ASAP to MAKE AMERICA LIFE EASIER! The WiFi signal is very weak or none, as if we were arriving at a developing country. Basically, once you arrive at the entrance of the Cruise Terminal, you will not be able to communicate with anyone if your cell phone service provider is Spectrum or Verizon, but I do not know if T- Mobile or AT&T will provide a better signal or not. The ride sharing pickup location is far away from the exit area!!! You must walk a long distance with your luggage. Transferring to the airport is available at the exit area at $30 per person, but you may get a better price with a group of 5 or more via a negotiation on the spot at $20 per person.

A bit of a confusing path to get to the drop-off... but once you are out of the taxi, your cruise awaits you. An easy transition through security that is wheelchair friendly.

This is an extremely difficult terminal port to navigate through. It’s not as organized as Miami port terminal. It takes a long time just to get through. There has to be a better way

Nice place to catch your ship to go to Alaska cruise.
