Grayline Shuttle service-Seattle

[Albuquerque....]

I searched this forum, but didn't find any recent information about Grayline Shuttle. Can anyone give me a review about them? I'm thinking about booking them to take us to our hotel, but I would like to see if anyone had anything (good or bad) to say about them.

 

Thanks!

We used them (compliments of HAL) last June. It was Ok, the only complaint we had was it took "forever" to reach our hotel. HAL had booked us at the Fairmont and it was the last stop, the bus stopped at about four other hotels first. Other than that the bus was clean and the driver was very nice, even gave us the nickel tour of Seattle.

I think this is the order in which the bus stops at Hotels. You should call and find out the exact time it will take from the A/P to your hotel. It is highly recommended by a Seattle Resident posting on our Rollcall for Sun Princess, 23 September, Seattle to Sydney. - CP

Hi

 

Just used Grayline on the Sun Princess last week. Worked very well.

 

Note -- If you ask for directions to the Grayline bus, people may not know

what you are talking about. They know it as the Downtowner Express.-- (even though the name is "Downtown Airporter"). It is a black and yellow bus. There are several bus service there so be careful as to which one you buy the ticket from, and outside, there are several parking bays, so be sure to stand on line for the right bus. I am making it sound more confusing than it is. It is actually quite simple. But since Grayline is not "by itself," you have to stay alert.

 

Rate was reasonable. Driver friendly. I think their website says you cannot by an advance ticket. Which I found out you can, but there is no need to. And the way airlines run, you wants a ticket for a bus you might miss?

 

I used the Downtowner on arrival. My post cruise transfer by Princess was

also on Grayline. It was a traditional blue and white bus, marked Grayline. It went much faster because it is direct from pier to airport.

 

Good luck
