faireygod mother Posted September 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2009 We are taking a Disney cruise in 2011. I was thinking of flying into Seattle and then driving to Vancouver. Are there companies that do this? Am I being unrealistic? I thought we could rent a bus and the whole family could go together to the port.

Foxhill Posted September 22, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2009 You can take AMTRAK from Seattle into Vancouver. I think it is somewhere around $25.00 to $35.00 per person. Check the AMTRAK web site for more information. The rail station is in downtown Seattle and there is a station in Vancouver not too far from the two cruise terminals. We plan to do this next July and for two adults and one 14 year old it will cost $76.00 (with a AAA discount). Train leaves Seattle at 7:40 a.m. and arrives in Vancouver at 11:35 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted September 22, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2009 There will likely be a cruise contracted bus, there is an independent bus, Amtrak, one way car rentals. With Amtrak, you need to add a hotel night and about $35+++ for a cab Seatac/Downtown. Then another cab to port, or Sky Train to Canada Place.

The downside is it adds another 2.5-4 hours to the trip, but the drive itself it straightforward, straight up I5. The only unknown is the border crossing, which is generally much worse heading south rather than north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love the beach Posted September 22, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2009 There is also www.quickcoach.com which goes directly to the piers in Vancouver from many pickup locations in Seattle including the airport. We took the Amtrak train to Vancouver ( delightful, scenic ride!) and then the Quickcoach back to SeaTac. If there are a lot of you travelling then renting a mini-van or van might be the least expensive option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYTY Posted October 28, 2009 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2009 In August, we took the bus from Vancouver to Seattle. Wasn't a bad ride and the border crossing took only 30 minutes. Seemed like as soon as we got off we got back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
