Seattle Airport Transfer Costs

[Italy52]

Does anyone know how much transfers cost to and from Seattle Airport to cruise terminal?  We will be a party of two. 

[Back to school]

Transfers NCL $50 Round trip per person.   Taxi cab/Uber/ Lyft $35 -  $60  one way car.

[don't-use-real-name]

With effort it is possible to combine the Light Rail service from the airport to downtown

AND

the connect with a taxi for the short drive to Pier 66 (NCL Cruise Terminal).

 

I don't have a fare estimate.

 

If using NCL's Transfer Service arrangements must be made -4- days before sailing.

If on the ship and needing the Service go to Guest Services.

After several cruises we opted for using cabs and private bus services. They are usually cheaper and you don't have to sit in a bus or airport waiting for enough people to fill the bus before it leaves for the port.

You might want to post on the West Coast Departures board where this question is frequently asked.

[roger001]

Search Seattle Express.  They show $20 one way pp, $35 round trip.  I used to use Super Shuttle but guess they are out of business.  However, it is looking like the next time you will need that service for a Seattle cruise might be more than a year from now.

Lots of good info about transportation, hotels, things to do in Seattle can be found in the West Coast Departures forum.

Do you happen to have a link to NCL's current airport transfer fee schedule (showing airport and fees).  I used to be able to find it, but can't now.  Thanks.

Just like everything else, the prices seem to be going up, so hard to say what they will be by the time anyone actually sails.  They may be anticipating increased costs if they have to limit capacity, hard to say.  A mock booking would give you "today's price".  Transfers have increased for all of my cruises when I check on current pricing.

Yes, the prices also go up on other cruise lines.

 

So it is the most accurate to have a mock booking for checking the most updated price.

If you fly in the day before, the Doubletree by the airport used to have a shuttle to the terminal.  This was a couple of years ago and I don't know the cost because we got a package for our room, parking and the shuttle.  But it's an option, if they still provide the service.

Thank you friend!!!  😀  That is exactly what I was looking for!!  I don't care about exact prices, just a general idea of options and ballpark costs.  This will do!   I was specifically interested in the options for either MIA or FLL departures after a Miami cruise arrival.  They both look dirt cheap.  I wasn't sure if they even offered an FLL transfer.

They list ride shares as an option. Why would you assume Uber/Lyft isn't allowed?

Nobody said they weren't allowed. Using them to get there wouldn't be a problem. But getting connected to your particular driver at debarkation  could be very difficult because of the traffic and crowds.

[complawyer]

we have taken ncl cruises out of numerous ports, both  in the states and in europe. usually when we land, after getting our luggage, we merely get a cab to theport. same after the cruise to either the airport or a hotel.

 

the only minor problem we ever encountered was in venice. the cab driver would only take euros.  minor inconvenience.

 

most cab rides are relatively in expensive.

 

also we flew from l.a. to ft lauderdale but the cruise left from miami. i went  on google, and hired a shuttle service. he was there about 10 minutes after we landed, and after the cruise he was there at the miami port and took us directly to lauderale airport.

 

 i also reatined a shuttle service to take us from the airport in santiago, chile to our hotel, and take us to the port 2 days later. unfortunately the cruise was cancelled. getting from the airport to the cruise terminals is relatively simple.
