- How to get from SEATTLE Airport to Cruise Terminal [Pier 91] using Link Light Rail gives you must-know public transportation tips. I explain how to take public transportation using the Seattle Link Rail and Uber between the SEA-TAC Airport to Pier 91. Make sure you need to go to 91. There are other ships leaving out of Pier 66 and Pier 46. It makes a difference!
This idea is using the Seattle link Rail to downtown and from there it is a 3.5 mile Uber ride. If you have light luggage, you can take Bus 33 to Magnolia Bridge and it is a 4 minute walk to Pier 91.
We travel at peak time. The cost $21.00 for the UBER.
Link Rail is $3.00 PER PERSON.
🚢 PEAK TIMES SEEM TO GO HAND IN HAND WITH CRUISE CHECK IN TIMES! SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT! FYI, if you take an Uber from the airport it was close to $80 at the peak time.
What you need to do:
Claim Bags
Follow the Signs for Link Light Rail in the baggage claim area
Take the SKY BRIDGE to the Parking Garage and it will lead you to
the Link Rail. (1/4 mile walk). Signs are Posted
Service is Frequent - runs every 10-15 minutes until midnight
**there is an electric FREE shuttle that will give you a ride from the parking garage to the link rail, if you just ask.***
It's a 35 minute drive from the airport but it may take 20 minutes BY UBER from the downtown station due to traffic entering the Cruise Pier 91.

For those of you taking the light rail…. Apparently the stop of University Street Station in the future may be called Symphony Station, so it won’t get confused with University of Washington station….. Here is what is anticipated 0ctober 2024…
Dear Bonnie,
Thank you for contacting Sound Transit (ST) about renaming University Street Station.
The ST Board chose “Symphony Station” as the new name for the station. The renaming is anticipated to align with the Lynnwood Link Extension opening.
You are banned from seattle by order of 3rd and Pine
We used seattle express shuttle from the airport a couple weeks ago. (JULY 2024) for 25 per person 1 way or 45 round trip. It was a great, no fuss way to get there. We cruised Holland America, pier 91.
That seems like a good way to go! That’s a lot less than Uber. Thanks for sharing the info! ☀️🚢
Thanks, Bonnie! Very helpful.
Thanks for these tips! Definitely would save a lot of money!!
Thanks for watching! It also is a great way to kill some time away from the hectic airport. Lots of people have bus arrangements to the pier and airport via a travel agent. I didn’t, so this is what I chose to do! I saw a lot and learned even more! 😊😂
As for taking a bite to eat, I highly recommend eating something at the airport if you have time to kill. So good for you for getting your coffee from the airport.
Our cruise terminals have no food! There is one little quick service place at pier 91 open until 1pm that is inside of a trailer near the motorized wheelchairs on the "celebrity" / "Holland America" side. They have hot dogs, nachos, and a pulled pork sandwich and an assortment of drinks. It is the metallic trailer with a window. It's very easy to miss since it's surrounded by motorized wheelchairs and the crowd of people congregating at the crosswalks.
However, inside of the terminal -- no food vendors. Sorry.
Pier 91 used to be a military base, so it's mostly surrounded by industry and warehouses. No restaurants
However, if you are already in Seattle the night before and are sn early riser, you might be able to get lunch at Chinooks before your cruise but it's's really pushing it since yhey open at 11:30 AM. You need a 2pm check-in time. And that's pretty late since Holland America and Princess sails st 3pm with terminal doors closing st 2:30pm. If you sail at 5pm, terminal doors are usually open until 4pm, so you could check in first at pier 91 so we know you are at the terminal thsn Uber to Chinooks at noon and still make it on time before terminal doors sre locked. Unlike the airport, terminal 91 closes 30 minutes before sailaway.
Hence, for my Princess and Holland America guests, i fo not recommend Chinooks as they may miss sailaway since terminal doors lock at 2:30om (some exceptions like last weekend due to the Microsoft glitch that delayed and cancelled many flights -- Princess left normsl time. Holland America decided to wait until 5:20pm, which was originally delayed until 6pm). So for my HAL/PCL guests, i recommend them to start checking in because PCL/HAL, we will check you in early. RCCL / Carnival / Cunard / Celebrity -- im not sure. Once gangway opens, we can get you to your ships as early as possible to do your muster (Hal is digital, in your stateroom) so you can relax and eat something.
Even when guests bring up going to downtown, i hesitate since HAL and PCL is on a time crunch. Abd taking an Uber back and forth and being back by 2pm is a bit risky. With guests wgo ask ablut public transportation, i recommend taking a cab as it even take 15-20 minutes to walk out to the terminal guard shack entrance and walk over the flyway bridge going over the train tracks to 15th Ave W/ and Galer where you catch public transit. And then you need to wait for the bus, which is another 20 minutes and 15 minutes to get downtown. So if use public transit to get downtown and back go the terminal, you need a 2 hour allowance just to take public transit. And if doors lock at 2:30pm, you run the risk of being locked out of the terminal and unable to catch hour cruise. And then joining your cruise at another port is a pain almost $900 per person due to "Jones Act." If you're rich, be my guest.
Now the good thing about Royal is that it leaves at 5pm, if i am not mistaken. Don't quote me as i haven't worked on a Royal friday for over a year. So sailaway may actually have changed. If it's still 5pm, and you have an 11 check-in, you msy be able to uber to Chinooks, eat "lunner" and be back before 4pm.
What's Chinooks? It is an excellent excellent restaurant with seafood and seafood related stuff. It may be better than ship food.
Thanks for your wealth of knowledge! Yes you need a few hours for public transit. Luckily I was checking in for a Royal Caribbean Ship. It did leave around 5. The restaurant sounds good. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for watching!
So helpful, thank you!
Great! Thank you!
Thank you so much
Thanks! We’re doing the same cruise next June (2023) for our anniversary (thanks for mentioning that the Light rail has a wheelchair storage section-my wife is in a chair!)…thankfully we’re coming in the day before from San Diego so we’ve got a hotel the night before that’s reasonably close to Pier 91 but also within walking distance to the Space Needle/museums/ monorail to downtown so we were hoping we could’ve avoided an Uber from Sea/Tac airport--glad we can!
I am glad this helped. One thing you will notice in the downtown area is it is hilly. The pier areas are flat enough but the city sits above that! It definitely will help you with transportation to be at a hotel. They may even have a shuttle to the pier. Ask the front desk. Have a wonderful time’☀️🚢
Nice video! Heads up: University Street Station on the Link is now called OPERA Station (to avoid confusion with University of Washington and U District stations further up the line).
***UPDATE*** Sorry, it will actually be called SYMPHONY Station with the opening of the Lynnwood Extension on 30 Aug 2024
Oh good to know! I’ll add that in my comments thank you! Happy travels!
I live in Seattle and work at 91. Even I did not know it was called Opera station now.
Keep in mind, it's a pretty good walk from the terminal to the light rail station at Sea-Tac. Something to keep in mind if you're toting a lot of luggage.
It is a bit of a walk, I saw people using rented carts from baggage claim. I didn’t do that. Also keep in mind transfer station to Uber stop in down hill. Just something to keep in mind! Thanks for letting us know! 😊☀️🚢
❤
Thanks for watching! ☀️🚢
I think I have seen you make video’s before and they also are more confusing etc then they need to be.
Thanks for watching! ☀️
Great! Does exists plan to build similar transport to Bellevue?
I don’t this so. You should look online at the train website. It will give you the schedule. I think that may be on a different route.
There will be a new line to Bellevue. The 2 line. It will connect to the existing line at Chinatown station in 2025 and continue north to Lynwood. People can transfer at Chinatown to catch a train to the airport and vise versa.
Do you know if Norwegian Cruise line is on Pier 91 as well.
I know there are two areas for ships. I think this was Celebrity and Royal. I believe NCL is
Port of Seattle
Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal (Pier 66)
2225 Alaskan Way
Seattle, WA 98121
Norwegian and Oceania passengers use the Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal.
The Port of Seattle's Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal is located just 14 miles from Seattle Tacoma International Airport. Parking is available at the cruise terminal for $24.00 per day
Carnival, Celebrity, Disney, Holland America, Princess and Royal Caribbean passengers use Terminal 91.
