Moby Dick Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 For about a year now, I've been following VLOGS about Ovation of the Seas departing from Pier 91 in Seattle to go to Alaska and back. I've been worried/concerned and bugging people about transportation to pier 91 and where Star Class is to meet with their Genie and drop-off luggage. Well, today, my wife was in Facebook (I don't do Facebook) and found a video made by the Assistant Casino Manager. He was leaving England yesterday and arrived in Seattle today. The crew has to quarantine and get the ship ready, I guess, before the Alaska cruise season. But I digress. As he is videoing, it is obvious that he is entering pier 66, not 91. And as he is entering the terminal, there is a sign saying, "WELCOME TO THE NEW HOME OF OVATION OF THE SEAS". So, I guess all my bugging people, including people in this forum, the transportation (shuttle/limo) people about how to plan for our arrival at pier 91 was for not. Cruise terminal 66 looks a lot nicer than 91. But, you never know until you see it for yourself. The Port of Seattle website still shows Ovation as embarking from pier 91, so I'm wondering which is right: Oh, the cruisemapper shows Ovation at pier 66.

After looking at the video one more time, I'm even more confused. I'm thinking that, MAYBE, the sign is welcoming the crew to THEIR new home, The Ovation of the Seas. MAYBE, when it's time to actually start cruising again, they will move the ship to pier 91. Okay, I'm going to my room now, get in bed, curl up in the fetal position and just wait for cruise day to find out everything I need to know about embarkation day, then! Yep, the sign says, "WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME" then at the bottom it says, "Ovation of the Seas". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowTieBrigade Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 I’m pretty sure it’s 91 Moby Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was docked there I assume to make it easier for the arriving staff. Royal definitely sails from Pier 91, not Pier 66 Moby Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 It's been 91 for all of my Royal Caribbean sailings out of Seattle. Moby Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
