Route and fare planning
How should you plan the flight-to-ship handoff, not just the drive?
Pier 91 is Smith Cove on Seattle's north waterfront, not the downtown Pier 66 terminal. The useful plan starts with the correct ship assignment and works backward from the cruise line's required arrival time.
- Pier 91 is the required destination
- Flight and baggage release shape pickup
- The ship deadline controls the margin
- Fare and vehicle are confirmed in writing
Pickup
Confirm when everyone will be ready at SEA
Send the flight, airline, arrival date, passengers, checked bags, carry-ons, mobility needs, and reachable mobile number.
On the way
Review the road window to Seattle's north waterfront
Dispatch reviews airport access, I-5 and connecting streets, construction, events, terminal traffic, and the cruise-day pickup window.
Arrival
Use the Pier 91 ground-transportation instructions
The drop-off is coordinated for Smith Cove rather than a generic waterfront address. Passengers remain responsible for cruise documents, check-in, security, and boarding.

Why this trip needs more than a ride request
