spazwok Posted October 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi We are booked into the Sutton Place hotel prior to an Alaskan cruise next year and I was wondering the best way to get from the Hotel to the Port. I can see on google maps that its not very far at all, about a 10 minute ride. I was thinking that a taxi would probably be the best option but I was wondering if there were big taxis or if we would need to go in two or maybe three. And if that's the case would it be better to book a transfer with a car service in an SUV? We are 3 adult passengers, we will have potentially 3-5 large suitcases. This cruise is at the very end of a 6 weeks vacation in the US. And although we're only leaving with 3 suitcases, I can imagine we might do some shopping along the way and have many more by this stage in the vacation. Any advice is appreciated.

spazwok Posted October 11, 2014 Author #2 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I've just noticed the same in Seattle, our hotel isn't too far from the cruise port so have the same query. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridanamaw Posted October 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I've just noticed the same in Seattle, our hotel isn't too far from the cruise port so have the same query. Which pier are you leaving from? There are two different ones. We stayed at The Inn At The Market last month for our pre cruise. Our ship was at Pier 66. It also is within walking distance BUT with suitcases and the up hills and down hills we took a taxi for less than 10.00. It was worth it!

Kartgv Posted October 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We stayed at the Westin Bayshore and the cab was less than $10. If your hotel has a doorman, he can summon a minivan type taxi for you; if there's no doorman, the first taxi in line can call for a larger cab if he can't accommodate all of you.

spazwok Posted October 13, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks both! This advice is excellent. I can't for the life of me figure out which port we're departing from so I hope it's on the cruise documents when I get around to completing the check in process. It's celebrity if that helps. I think we'll grab the taxi option, seems like the best choice. Appreciate the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floridanamaw Posted October 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I found the information. Celebrity sails from Pier 91.....I had the wrong numbers in my previous response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ell52 Posted October 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Service is excellent at Sutton Place, so if you need a larger vehicle (e.g. van), the doorman will gladly call one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
