The Breeze Inn is the harbor hotel that's open when the seasonal ones aren't. It runs all year, sits on North Harbor Drive about 0.7 road miles from the terminal by our estimate, and has its own restaurant and lounge with seven Alaskan craft beers on tap.
The shuttle is the soft spot. In September the inn advertised a free shuttle to “major Seward locations” without naming the cruise terminal, and its home page on October 2 didn't mention one at all — a maybe, not a ride.
Breakfast is downstairs and on your bill, and two pets stay at $10 each a night, booked by phone.
Call (907) 224-5237 and ask whether the shuttle runs to the ship on your date.
Book it if
- A shoulder-season sailing when the seasonal places are shut
- Two dogs on the trip
- Dinner and a local beer downstairs
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast included.
- You want a ride to the ship in writing.
