Port Valet is a great service to use in Seattle. However, if you are looking to change your flight, you cannot when using Port Valet service

Razor, try Princess Discovery. It’s a gorgeous ship, the staff great, and officers I think are top notch. The Captain I think was great. And food was really very good. Thanks for the review
