New, but they've had stevedoring challenges early in this season.

Good to know. I was hoping it wasn't just Princess cracking down on the Progressive Check-In.

The challenge in Seattle (unlike LA or Vancouver) is that the space for arriving luggage, the building access and the space for departing luggage is all bunched up in about 50 feet of space adjacent to a crowded driveway. It's not awful, but it leads to a lot of crowding in a small space. There is VERY limited seating pre-security and not much standing room either.

 

Even if someone intends to drop bags and go out of the terminal area for whatever reason, the load/unload zone is frequently crowded as late as 10:30.

Just carry your luggage on with you & you won't have to worry about any checking of bags. :D

Bags larger than carry-on size need to be checked and will not be allowed upstairs.

When was that changed? We have carried our luggage on several times at pier 91.

The ships have been late disembarking passengers so far this season which has resulted in getting all the disembarking passengers off the pier to make way for the embarking passengers. Normally the "zero-count" point has been reached by 10:30am or so but that has not been the case this year. Thus the delay in being able to process bags for embarking cruisers.

Thanks, all, for your explanations. Makes sense now.

In Florida if they fit through the scanner you can carry them. I've been questioned a number of times & when I tell them I always carry them with me they tell me it's fine.
