Seattle, Washington Port Q&A

As a general rule of thumb…and speaking from a lot of experience…..whatever the cruise line is charging, a taxi will cost you half the amount. Not only that….when you purchase a ship transfer, you’ll sit on that bus at the airport till it’s full, if you take a taxi, as soon as you collect your baggage you’re on your way. We never use transfers anymore, unless a great distance is involved

Yes, most cruise lines offer transfer to / from port / airport. These are usually purchased in advance of your cruise directly from the cruise line or through your travel agent. A taxi from SeaTac to the port would be about $50.

Yes you have to book it as if it was an excursion you'll see under that category. Hope this helps.

You can take a cab, the prices are regulated here. It’s a about $45 to $50. Each way. I take a Lyft or Uber. And of course there are shuttles

We used Carnival's bus from port to airport. We was very happy with this service too.

The Seatac brings you right from the airport to a few streets from the airport. Very easy to use and even has luggage storage on the train. It costs a few dollars to use. you will just have to transfer all the luggage yourself. It is an economical way to get to the pier.

I was told you can use Seattle Express.

Answered by kathyfromstl on April 06, 2023

I am taking NCL in the fall and their charge was $54 each way. Asking around for taxi and shuttle services it seems like that's not a huge difference. Plus, there is no lifting or hauling luggage around.

We were on Carnivals Splendor and took ship to airport transportation thru the ship excursions. It was not expensive and got us off ship early

Look at Seattle Express. They have a round trip from airport to cruise terminal for $45+. Looks pretty reasonable. They also do pickup from your hotel at Airport too. Seemed like a good price for a van. They pick you up at cruise pier to airport. Says shuttles leave every 15 minutes.
