Disembarkation time @ Port Seattle

[luvtravel]

We have a 2:30 flt time home from Seatac ...and so dont need to get off the ship (Golden Princess) early, but will be scheduling a car to take us to airport and wondered what is latest time that we have to disembark so we can give them an accurate time for pickup. I read somewhere that we have to go thru customs before getting off in Seattle because we make a stop in Victoria, Canada and wondered if that was true and if so, would it add much time...but it seems that should take place in Victoria. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

In general, the latest you can stay onboard will be between 9am-10am. You can linger longer, but they will eventually hunt you down. :)

 

And yes, you go through customs in Seattle. Victoria is just a port of call, so no customs visit is required. As for how long it will take, it all depends on how many agents are staffed, when you get off the ship, etc.

Have you thought about a post cruise Seattle city tour? Luggage stays on the coach and the highlight was the Space Needle. Dropped off at the airport. :)

Thank you both for your replies. We wanted to do the tour that included airport drop off...did that in Boston with another cruiseline, but our flight was too early this time...had to be 4pm or later. So we will just head over to the airport ...around 9:30am. Thought about taking a cab up to a hotel and checking bags for an hour or so then head over to the airport, but decided its too much trouble for such a short time. At least Seatac has free wifi, good restaurants and shops relatively speaking. Again thanks!

With a 2:30 flight you will have plenty of time to the airport most of the crowd has flights before 1 pm. Seattle is a easy disembarkation and airport. They run very smooth each time we use Seattle.
