For a Norwegian or Oceania sailing, the Marriott Waterfront is the short walk with a pool attached. It sits across Alaskan Way from the Bell Street terminal at Pier 66, about 0.2 miles by road on our estimate, with an indoor/outdoor pool and Hook & Plow for breakfast from 6:30.
Marriott's page says it's across from "Terminal 66 and 91" — true for Pier 66, not for Pier 91, which is about 3.1 miles away in Interbay by our estimate, and Marriott runs no shuttle.
It's No. 4 because breakfast costs extra and valet is $60 a day, with no word on leaving the car for the week.
Book it for Pier 66, swim the night before, and roll your bags across the street.
Book it if
- Norwegian and Oceania cruisers
- Families who want a pool
- Dog owners
Look elsewhere if
- You sail from Pier 91 and want a ride.
- You need to leave the car.

Before you book
Worth knowing
- Check-in 4 PM, check-out 11 AM. Minimum age 18.
- Marriott lists an "Indoor/Outdoor Pool" with a lift or sloped entry (checked Oct 2, 2026).
- Valet $60 a day; oversized $70 plus tax, limited.
What we couldn’t confirm
- Whether you can park while you cruise
- Whether there's a resort fee
Every hotel fact here comes from Marriott Waterfront’s own pages or its brand’s, read September 26, 2026 and rechecked for shuttles and parking on October 2, 2026, unless we name another source — so before you book, confirm whether the $60 valet will hold a car for a cruise.
