Rare Got2Cruise Posted June 27, 2008 #1053 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi We are arriving on the red-eye from JFK around midnight. I know that the taxi stand is on the third level of the parking garage. Is there a line of cabs waiting as in NY, or do we need to call to arrange a cab? We will be exhausted when we arrive so I want to minimize the wait for the taxi. Any suggestions welcomed, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleCruiselover Posted June 27, 2008 Author #1054 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi SeattleCruiseLover, We will be arriving at seatac by 9 and will be at pier 30 by 10.30. We will be sailing HAL Amsterdam on July 25. If we check in our baggages, can we grab a taxi and go to Downtown, check out some attractions for 2hrs and be back on time before the cruise leave? We are first time cruise people, so no idea how it works with cruise or Seattle Pier 30. thanks Yes, you can do that. I would recommend that you are back no later than 2 pm, and probably a little earlier than that if you don't complete your check in before you leave for town. If you check in first, then 2-2:30 should be reasonable, but check with the pier supervisor to see when they are going to cut off boarding.

SeattleCruiselover Posted June 27, 2008 Author #1055 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Anyone give me parking suggestions for the week in the pier area for the Golden? :) Park right at Terminal 30. There is no other long term parking in the area (event parking for the Safe and the Q preclude that). It costs $12.00 per day, and here is the info: http://www.portseattle.org/seaport/cruise/parkingandtransportation.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeattleCruiselover Posted June 27, 2008 Author #1058 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Thanks Karen . . .one less thing to worry about:) I am so looking forward to visiting Seattle, but not the long plane ride. I'm with you there. I'm no longer able to fly, but, when I did, 5 to 6 hours would be about 4.5 to 5.5 hours too much. Hopefully you won't hit any weather or any other kind of delays to make it longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check in first, then 2-2:30 should be reasonable, but check with the pier supervisor to see when they are going to cut off boarding. Thanks a lot for your reply. I wish we could stay in Seattle pre and post cruise, and enjoy Seattle, but unfortunately can't take too many days of vacation. fremontman.

dorijo Posted June 27, 2008 #1061 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi Karen, Thanks for your help..I just changed my air tickets after seeing that my flight, the last one of the day, last night was delayed for 3 hrs and missed the connection. Got no sleep over it and didn't want a month of worrying so taking the first flight of the day. We will be in Seattle at 3pm so may do a little sightseeing then before the cruise. Otherwise do I have to book the express online or can I do it at the ship or airport? Rather wait and see when we get there if we feel energetic enough to tour. Thanks again.

Doris Please tell me that you made a typo and are not arriving here at 3 pm on sailing day ..... :eek: They will close boarding before that if your ships sails at 4 pm (likely not later than 2 pm or shortly after), much less the up to an hour to get your luggage, and the 30-60+ minutes to Terminal 30. As for booking the cruise express, you should do it online, as they are capacity controlled from what I hear (but they don't leave the airport as late as 3 pm if that is really when you are going to arrive).

Dianne I'm not overly worried about it. It took me 18 months the last time, so I figure it will take that long or longer this time because the economy was a lot better back then.....

I think you can make a very good concierge service. Why dont u go work for yourself by opening your own company catering to cruise people? fremontman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
