Route and fare planning

What should you identify first about which Seattle cruise port your ship uses?

“Seattle cruise port” is not one universal passenger curb. Bell Street at Pier 66 and Smith Cove at Pier 91 have different addresses, approaches, and ground-transportation areas.

  • Pier 66 serves the downtown waterfront
  • Pier 91 serves Smith Cove
  • The sailing deadline is more important than map time
  • The quote covers the selected terminal
  1. Pickup

    Use the ship and sailing date to find the terminal

    Confirm Pier 66 or Pier 91 with the cruise line or Port of Seattle before treating the route as final.

  2. On the way

    Link flight status, baggage, and the terminal deadline

    Send the airline, flight, bags, passengers, mobility needs, ship, and required terminal arrival time in one request.

  3. Arrival

    Follow the confirmed terminal handoff

    The chauffeur uses the current ground-transportation instructions for the selected pier; passengers handle cruise check-in, documents, security, and boarding.

Why this trip needs more than a ride request

Use these answers to plan the trip. Your meeting instructions, availability, and fare are confirmed for the booking you request.

How many Seattle cruise port terminals are there?

The Port of Seattle's passenger cruise operation uses Bell Street Cruise Terminal at Pier 66 and Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Pier 91. Verify the current ship assignment.

Can I just book “the cruise port” as the destination?

The quote request can start that way, but the reservation should not be confirmed until Pier 66 or Pier 91 is identified.

Is Metro Elite a shared cruise shuttle?

No. This is advance-reserved private transportation for the confirmed party and itinerary.

What affects the fare?

The selected terminal, date, time, passengers, luggage, vehicle, stops, waiting needs, parking or access costs, and requested service details affect the quote.

Should I fly to Seattle on embarkation day?

That risk decision belongs to the traveller. Flight, baggage, road, terminal, security, and cruise operations can all change, so allow a margin you consider acceptable.
