Cruise ship anchors in Elliott Bay due to strong winds

Cruise ships anchored in Elliott Bay

Two ships can be seen anchored in Elliott Bay, specifically the Quantum of the Seas and the MS Roald Amundsen.

SEATTLE - A Royal Caribbean cruise ship anchored in the middle of Elliott Bay Monday morning due to strong winds across the Puget Sound.

Two cruise ships could be seen in Elliott Bay, specifically the Quantum of the Seas and the MS Roald Amundsen.

The Coast Guard says the Quantum of the Seas was able to dock during the high winds, but the ship opted to wait for a third tug boat to help in the docking process. Usually, only two tug boats are required, but a third was called out as a precaution.

The Royal Caribbean ship was eventually able to dock at Pier 91 Monday afternoon.

The Coast Guard also said the MS Roald Amundsen was apparently scheduled to anchor in Elliott Bay on Monday, so it was not being affected by weather conditions.

The Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas can hold up to 4,900 passengers, and the Roald Amundsen has a max capacity of 1,018.

The Quantum was scheduled to leave Seattle at 4 p.m., but it's unknown if the ship will leave on time due to the delayed dock.
