Route and fare planning
How should you plan from passenger-ready time to the flight deadline?
A ship's scheduled arrival is not the moment a passenger can enter a vehicle. Disembarkation, clearance, luggage collection, terminal flow, road conditions, airline check-in, and security all belong in the same airport-bound plan.
- Pier 91 is the actual pickup terminal
- Passenger-ready time follows ship arrival
- The airline deadline sets the road margin
- Vehicle and fare are confirmed in writing
Pickup
Confirm when everyone can meet the chauffeur
Send the ship, sailing date, preferred disembarkation plan, passengers, bags, mobility needs, and a mobile number that works after leaving the vessel.
On the way
Review terminal traffic and the road window
Dispatch reviews Pier 91 access, Seattle events, I-5 and SR 518 conditions, construction, weather, requested stops, and the flight deadline.
Arrival
Finish at the airline's departure side
The reservation records the airline and departure details. Passengers remain responsible for check-in, baggage acceptance, security, and boarding.

Use these answers to plan the trip. Your meeting instructions, availability, and fare are confirmed for the booking you request.
When should pickup be scheduled after the ship arrives?
Use a realistic passenger-ready estimate after disembarkation, clearance, luggage collection, and terminal release—not only the published docking time.
Is Pier 91 the same as Smith Cove?
Yes. Seattle's Pier 91 passenger cruise facility is Smith Cove Cruise Terminal on the north waterfront.
How early should I reach Seattle Airport?
Follow the airline and airport's current guidance for the specific flight. Metro Elite uses the deadline you provide to review a practical pickup window but cannot guarantee check-in or boarding.
Can the vehicle carry cruise luggage?
Vehicle fit is confirmed from the passenger count, checked suitcases, carry-ons, mobility equipment, child seats, and oversized items disclosed before booking.
Is this a walk-up taxi?
No. This is an advance-reserved private transfer with the itinerary, vehicle, availability, and fare confirmed before service.
