TRAVEL: AIRPORT TO CRUISE PORT
The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is about 17 miles south of Cruise Port. The trip is 35 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic. You may contact Adele at Legendary World Travel: 760-230-5624, and arrange for transfer to and from the airport. Celebrity Transfers between airport and Cruise Port on Sept. 1 and Sept. 8, are $34 per person each way, as of this publication. These should be purchased at least 2 weeks in advance of the sailing. Quite a few airport shuttles offer service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to both Pier 66 and Pier 91. This includes Shuttle Express, which has shuttle service from the airport to Pier 91 for $36.86, as of this publication. From select downtown hotels to Pier 91, the rate is $20.10.
Ride-Share services like Uber or Lyft are approximately $35 to $40, as of this publication. This will be less expensive than a taxi, and if you wish to pick up any last-minute items, you can ask your driver to make stops on the way.
A taxi is a convenient way to get straight from the airport or downtown to the cruise terminals without having to stop and pick up other passengers along the way. A metered taxi, such as Yellow Cab of Seattle ( seattleyellowcab.com ), from the airport to Pier 91, will cost roughly between $40 and $60 for one couple, as of this publication.
Another option is to take a private taxi and car service, such as Flat Rate For Hire (flatrateforhire.com), a local Seattle service that offers a flat rate with no additional charges anywhere in Seattle based on zipcode. Rates vary based on gas and other factors, but run approximately $48 for transfer from the airport to Pier 91, as of this publication.

WHEN TO ARRIVE AT THE PIER
Don't arrive before 11:00 am on Sept. 1, 2023. If you arrive too early, then you will be waiting on the dock, and that is not fun. The ship will sail at 4:00 pm, so get there well ahead of time. Celebrity Cruise Line requires guests to be checked in no later than 90 minutes prior to the scheduled sailing time. Therefore you need to be checked in by 2:30 pm. Guests arriving late may not be permitted to sail. There are government regulations in some ports that require cruise lines to submit a departure manifest 90 minutes prior to sailing.
If you are booked in a suite, or if you are a Select, Elite, Elite Plus, or Zenith member of the Celebrity Cruise Line's loyalty program "Captain's Club," be sure to take advantage of priority check-in. When you get to the pier, look for a sign directing you to Priority Check-In. That is the area where you can go ahead of the long lines.
At the pier, you will check in. If you have completed your online registration in advance at and printed out your "XPRESS" Boarding Pass, then you will "sail through" the registration process. If not, please arrive early, by 1:00 pm, in order to complete your registration at the cruise terminal.
Guests can complete Online Check-In (on the Internet) no later than 4 days prior to the cruise. If you completed Online Check-In, you will go to an area designated for documentation validation. By checking in online, you will expedite your boarding process and will be able to start enjoying your cruise vacation much faster.
At the pier you will need to present:
- Your XPRESS Pass - Identification Documents (proof of Citizenship) for each guest - Credit Card to be used for your Onboard Expense Account - Onboard Expense Account Information (i.e your credit card and the reservation information that is authorized to charge against the account)
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
CRUISE CHECK-IN: GET YOUR "XPRESS PASS"
Check-in online anytime after July 18, 2023. It's easy!
All attendees of the Sail with Spirit Cruise (including Speakers and Staff) are requested to complete online Check-In no later than 4 days prior to the cruise in order to expedite the Cruise Terminal check-in process. When you check in online, it saves time. You won't have to fill out forms at the Cruise Terminal. Online check-in will be available 90 days before the sailing date—after July 18, 2023.
Once you have completed the Online Check-In process, you will receive an XPRESS Pass, which indicates you successfully completed the check-in process for you and other guests listed on your XPRESS Pass.
To check in, first gather the following information for all the guests you're checking in:
- First and Last Legal Names (as they appear on the passport or birth certificate)
- Ship, Sail Date and Celebrity Reservation Number: the "Confirmation Number" is on the invoice that Adele emailed to you, after 5633017/ - Celebrity's Past Passenger Captain's Club Member Number (if applicable) - Contact Information (including permanent address and telephone number) - Passport Details or appropriate proof of citizenship and identification (passport number and expiration) - Emergency Contact Person (name and phone number) - Travel Plans (flight details or approximate car arrival times) - Credit Card for Purchases Onboard (last four digits and expiration date)
For mobile and tablet users, download the Celebrity App and click "Check-In" on the bottom tool bar.
TIP: For security purposes, the system will time-out after 30 minutes even though there is activity, so make sure you have everything listed above before you begin.
IMPORTANT: You must complete and print your XPRESS Pass 4 days prior to your sail date.
NEED HELP? For computer tech support, call this number: 800-722-5941. They will walk you through the process.
WHAT IS THE SEAPASS ACCOUNT?
All of Celebrity Cruise Line ships operate on a "cashless" system, meaning your boarding card (known as your SeaPass card), will be used as a charge card to make all onboard purchases. To activate this SeaPass account, most guests provide a credit card, (American Express, Optima, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and Diner's Club), to have these purchases charged at the end of their cruise. Additionally, the SeaPass system may be activated with traveler's checks, debit cards with a Visa or MasterCard logo, or cash.
A running tab of all your purchases will be kept under separate folio numbers for each guest and an itemized statement left in your stateroom the night before disembarkation. If you provided a credit card and there are no discrepancies, the amount will be charged to your account on the morning of disembarkation. If you have used traveler's checks or cash to activate the account, you will need to settle the account at the Guest Relations desk, (to either receive a reimbursement of the unused amount, or to pay the balance due).
Gratuities: As a "Sail with Spirit" 2023 Seminar-at-Sea attendee, your service charges (tips) to your steward, waiters, and all other onboard staff were ALREADY PREPAID when you registered for the event.
Seminar-at-Sea Speakers Inspirational Products: On our "Sail with Spirit" 2023 Seminar-at-Sea, our speakers will bring books, CDs, DVDs, and other products. They will also offer private sessions. They will be selling their wares in our Sky Conference Center on the ship. Also, the Seminar-at-Sea will be video-recorded, and those DVDs will be available. Those special items can be purchased with cash or a credit card and will not go through the SeaPass account system. If you get short on cash, all ships in the Celebrity fleet have ATM machines. There is a transaction fee levied by BB&T, the owners of the ATMs, plus any other fees your financial institution would charge.
SEAPASS CARD: YOUR ID
Celebrity Cruise Line uses a computerized system for tracking all persons, both guests and crew, who enter and exit the ship. Upon arrival at the ship, each guest is issued a boarding card (SeaPass) which they must swipe to be officially logged on to the ship. The system imbeds a full color, digital photograph together with personal database information on their SeaPass. With a card swipe, a computer displays a corresponding photo with database information and merges time and date tracking information upon entry or exit.
Your Seapass Card will serve as your boarding card. This card identifies you as a Celebrity guest and must be carried with you along with picture identification when you go ashore. Because the ship is closed to the public while docked at the various ports-of-call, you must show your Seapass Card and picture I.D. to the officer on duty in order to return on board.
If you have trouble keeping track of that SeaPass card, either ask one of our staff, or stop by the Guest Relations Desk and get a hole punched in the card to slip through the security ring that attaches to your lanyard.
WHAT TO DO AT THE PIER
HAND-CARRY ONE BAG
Make sure you keep one bag that you hand-carry onto the ship. Upon arrival at the dock, your luggage will be taken onto the ship by porters and delivered to your stateroom, and you will not see it again for several hours. You might not see that luggage until late that night. Therefore, pack a carry-on that you can wheel onto the ship with all you need for the day, including your travel documents, change of clothing, swim suit, workout clothes, cosmetics, medicines, book to read, and/or anything else you might want.
As soon as you get onboard, go straight to your stateroom and, if it is ready, get settled. There you'll find the Celebrity Today newsletter with schedules for all the onboard activities. If you're traveling with family, check the Celebrity Today for the times of any welcome-aboard shows, ship tours, fitness and spa tours, and so forth. If spa or fitness classes are your thing, make your appointments on the first day, as the most popular treatments and times fill up fast.
The Oceanview Café buffet dining room on Deck 14 Aft will be available for lunch.
VIRTUAL SAFETY DRILL WITh MUSTER 2.0™
Celebrity has replaced the traditional safety drill at the beginning of your cruise voyage with new technology to help you stay informed without leaving your stateroom. The mandatory safety drill used to gather every guest on the cruise together for a review of what to expect in an emergency situation, how to use a life jacket, and much more.
Now, let Muster 2.0 ™ show you the drill on your mobile device or interactive stateroom TV thanks to innovative eMuster™ technology. You’ll be able to review safety protocol prior to sailing, so you can spend every precious moment of your vacation in the moment.

HOW TO GET TO SEATTLE

PREPARATION
CRUISE TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION
Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise. Even though you have completed registration online, it is still your responsibility to bring all required travel documents. Check with your travel agent and/or government authority to determine the travel documents necessary for each port of call. Anyone without proper documents will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. Celebrity assumes no responsibility for advising guests of proper travel documentation.
U.S. Citizens:
Celebrity highly recommends all guests travel with a passport (valid for at least six months beyond completion of travel). Although a passport is not required for U.S. citizens taking cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port, traveling with a passport enhances your disembarkation experience, as delays may be expected upon your return to the U.S. if you do not have one. Additionally, passports make it possible for you to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port should you miss your scheduled port of embarkation, or need to fly back to the U.S. for emergency reasons.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) allows U.S. citizens (including children) sailing on cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port to travel with one of the following WHTI compliant documents: - Valid U.S. Passport - Passport Card Original or suitable quality copy of a Birth Certificate (Issued by the department of vital statistics) - Certificate of Naturalization - Trusted Traveler Program Membership Card, e.g., Nexus Card, Sentri Card or Fast Card - Enhanced Tribal Card - A Consular Report of Birth Abroad - Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) Note: Enhanced Driver's Licenses can be used as proof of citizenship at land and sea ports of entry. However, it cannot be used to travel by air outside the United States. There are currently four U.S. states and four Canadian provinces producing EDLs:
Michigan New York Vermont Washington British Columbia Manitoba Ontario Quebec
A government-issued photo ID is also required for all guests, including children 16 and over. For a complete list of WHTI-compliant documents, go to: www.getyouhome.gov/html/lang_eng/index.html
If you need to obtain a passport quickly, Celebrity recommends that you contact http://visacentral.com or by phone: 1-877-535-0688. Callers should mention that they are sailing on Celebrity Cruise Line for possible discounted service fees.
Important: Baptismal and Hospital Certificates, copies of U.S. Passports and Naturalization papers, are not WHTI compliant documents, therefore, NOT acceptable.
Birth certificates from Puerto Rico issued prior to July 1, 2010 are not valid forms of proof of citizenship that is accepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Guests from Puerto Rico either need to present a WHTI-complaint document or a government-issued photo identification with a validated birth certificate issued after July 1, 2010.
To debark for more than 24 hours in Mexico, guests must have obtained a Mexican Tourist Card from either a travel agent or a Mexican consulate prior to their departure.
When traveling with a minor and both parents/legal guardians are not cruising, we strongly recommend bringing an original, signed letter from the absent parent/legal guardian authorizing the minor to travel with you. This will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland Security. Please note that a notarized letter to this effect is required if debarking with children in Mexico.
Air Travel: Passports are required for air travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, the Bahamas and Bermuda. This will impact all Canadian guests that travel by air to or from any of our U.S. embarkation ports. This will also enable guests to fly from the U.S. to meet their ship at the first port should they miss their scheduled embarkation and allow guests that must debark the ship before their cruise ends to fly back to the U.S without significant delays and complications.
Guest names on travel documents (passport, Alien Resident Card, birth certificate, etc.) must be identical to those on the cruise and airline tickets. Otherwise, proof of name change (e.g., a marriage license) or a valid driver's license (or other government-issued photo ID) must be presented.
LUGGAGE AND WHAT TO BRING
On the first day: For the first day of your cruise, pack a small carry-on bag with your travel documents, a change of clothes, bathing suit, workout clothes, and any medications you may need. That way you don't have to wait for your checked bags to arrive in your stateroom.
Suggested Packing List: yoga mat, rain poncho, rain footwear, warm clothing for viewing the glaciers in the mornings from the outside deck, nice clothes for dinner, dressy or formal clothes (optional) for dinner on two formal night on 7-day cruise, long pants and tops, sweatshirt and sweatpants, warm jacket or windbreaker, shorts, t-shirts, underwear, socks, sleeping-clothes, walking shoes, sandals or flip-flops, 2 bathing suits and cover-up, sunscreen, watch, alarm clock (or ask for wake-up call from ship Operator), cosmetics, toiletries, bar soap (optional), medications, sunglasses, eyeglasses or contacts, hat or visor, camera, laptop or notebook computer (Wi-Fi is available on the ship for a fee) with chargers, extra batteries, backpack or fanny pack for day excursions, binoculars, night-vision goggles for star-watch (optional), post-it notes and pens (to leave notes on your door or for your cabin attendant), book to read, journal, notebook.

Dinner attire: Meals in the main dining room follow this schedule:
For a 7-night cruise, 4 casual nights, 1 smart casual night, and 2 formal nights.
The number of smart casual and formal nights is at the ship's discretion.
We appreciate your usual parental guidance and cooperation in observing these easy guidelines with your children.

- Formal: Suits and ties or tuxedos for men, cocktail dresses or formals for women
The ship offers tuxedo rentals for formal dinners and special occasions.
Save space: Be sure to leave some room in your luggage for all those souvenirs and mementos. Some space-saving ideas include: - Bring shirts and pants/skirts that mix and match, turning three outfits into five or six. - Wear your heaviest shoes during embarkation and disembarkation so you don't have to pack them. - Pack small items inside larger ones for efficiency. - Bring an additional empty bag for those acquired extras.
Dining attire: Shorts, T-shirts, and bathing suits are not considered appropriate attire in the dining rooms at dinner. Casual dress dining is available nightly in the Oceanview Café. And be aware you'll also need smart casual attire for some of our specialty restaurants.
Onshore attire: You'll need comfortable walking shoes, as well as a hat or umbrella and sunscreen for protection from the sun. As rain is to be expected, you are advised to bring a poncho, raincoat, or travel umbrella. If you'll be touring any museums, cathedrals or churches, it's always wise to dress conservatively.
What Not To Bring: Weapons, illegal drugs, and other items that could interfere with the safe operation of the ship or the safe and secure environment of our guests and crew are prohibited. Do not pack fragile or expensive items (such as jewelry) in checked luggage.
The following are examples of items that guests are not allowed to bring onboard. These and other similar items will be confiscated. Alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, flammable liquids, explosives, and dangerous chemicals will not be returned.

Luggage Allowance: Each guest is permitted to carry a reasonable amount of personal property (including luggage) aboard the vessel; however, for your comfort and convenience, it is recommended that you limit the number of pieces you take. Keep in mind that airlines may charge for excess or oversize luggage. Charges incurred for excess or oversize baggage are the sole responsibility of the passenger. Each airline has a different limit on the amount of luggage they allow. Check with your air carrier for specific restrictions, such as allowance of pounds and any additional charges.
Luggage Tags: When you print out your XPRESS pass from the Celebrity website, luggage tags will be included on one of the pages. Fold and staple or tape those tags around your luggage handles just before you arrive at the ship so your luggage will arrive safely in your stateroom. It's a good idea to print out extra luggage tags, in case you or another person in your party loses theirs.
Special Luggage Tag Program:
North American guests who have received their electronic cruise document (eDoc) and have an assigned stateroom number may request complimentary luggage tags by logging on to Online Check-in.
Once you log-in (providing your name, last name, ship & sail date), select "request" in the Luggage Tags section of the Cruise Documentation Page to submit. A set of eight complimentary self-adhesive, printed luggage tags will be mailed via the United States Postal Service to the North American mailing address provided in your request form. The tags color coded & customized to your ship, sailing date & stateroom.
Luggage tags may be requested as soon as you receive your eDoc, up until 11 days prior to sailing. Luggage tags will be available upon arrival at the pier for guest with a guaranty stateroom or for guests who do not submit a request at least 11 days prior to sailing.
If you receive printed cruise documents for $35 per document, your customized set of luggage tags will be included in your printed document book.
RETURNING HOME
Debarkation Tags: While on board, you will be given numbered debarkation tags to place on your luggage. Please fill out the information on the back of the tag and remember your zone number. When your zone is called, please proceed off the vessel to claim your luggage. It is easy to pick up the wrong bag, so check to make sure your name is on it. If your luggage is left at the pier, it will be forwarded to you at your expense. Claims for lost or damaged luggage must be made in writing with our debarkation personnel before you leave the pier area.
