shotzyok Posted July 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2021 We will be arriving very late the night before cruise and chose to stay close to SeaTac. Plan on taking shuttle to Pier 91 the next morning. Does anyone know if there is somewhere close to the Pier to buy sodas? Prefer not to lug a 12 pack on the airplane but can’t live without my Diet Dr Pepper. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Suzy Posted July 11, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2021 If you are sailing on HAL please be aware the carry-on policy for beverages has changed. Basically it's: No sodas, all wine pays corkage, water not in plastic bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted July 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2021 There's nothing near the port. You would be better off using a hotel shuttle before the cruise shuttle to go to a convenience store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotzyok Posted July 11, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Thanks everyone. I’ll check around hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaciers Posted July 11, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Several years ago our SeaTac hotel dropped us at the Safeway just south of the airport and then picked us with a phone call. Or, any convenience store as 1025 suggested. There is a Whole Foods in Interbay on 15th Ave that is on the way to the cruise terminal. You could have your transportation stop there on the way to the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted July 11, 2021 #9 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Since you will have time the morning of your cruise I would suggest you shop for your soda, or anything else you may have forgotten at that time. Your hotel to pier transport may not be able, or want to stop and wait as you quickly shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ cruise getaways Posted July 12, 2021 #11 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Note to Shotzyok...I did a little Google search and it looks like the Targets in the Seattle area have diet Dr. Pepper, at least the Northgate Mall and University Way ones did. Hope this helps a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps a little. These neighborhoods (Northgate & University District) are located north of the city and the cruise docks (and way north of the airport). If you are truly desperate to find diet Dr. Pepper, maybe try the Fred Meyer stores closer to SeaTac (Burien, Tukwila, Renton). Be sure to ask at the front desk of your hotel for suggestions.

Actually, there does seems to be a production or distribution problem with Dr. Pepper products around here. Safeway has had a more reliable supply than other outlets. Weird.

Rare Gardyloo Posted July 13, 2021 #15 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Maybe use Amazon Prime or Instacart to order some to be delivered to your hotel in advance of your arriving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moor our sailboat at Elliott Bay Marina (adjacent to the cruise pier) and there are options in nearby Magnolia and Ballard, but they are not convenient. It would definitely be “easier” to pick up your sodas at the many convenient/grocery stores available in the Sea Tac area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had our driver take us to the Whole Foods near Pier 91 - for me I needed my fresh flowers for the cabin and the kids "needed" snacks to go with their beverages. Easy in and out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
