AlaskaNewbie68 Posted April 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hi, wondering if anyone else has done the Seattle Double Denali trip...we are supposed to be picked up by HAL at Seattle airport at 9 a.m and transported via coach to Vancouver for our cruise. THere is nothing in our docs about the meeting place. Curious if anyone else has done this. I will call them a few weeks prior if we don't receive any further communication. Thanks!

Rare Roz Posted April 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Michele, There's a parking lot just outside the terminal where all the cruise lines pick up and drop off. I suspect that's where you'll meet, or just inside the terminal. I would think HAL would supply this information. There should be a HAL rep there to direct you.

RuthC Posted April 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I took the HAL bus from the Seattle airport to the Vancouver pier a few years ago. Assuming it's the same procedure as then, here's how it went for me. I arrived the day before and stayed overnight at a hotel airport. The next morning I took the shuttle back to the airport and headed for the lower level. When I entered the terminal from the parking garage I turned left and went all the way to the end. There was a large open, waiting area, a check-in desk for an airline with very small planes, and a HAL check-in desk for the bus passengers. If you kept walking straight there was a large parking lot outside where the bus would pull up. I was assigned a bus number (there were two, about an hour apart), and a tentative time when the bus would be boarding. When the time came, the HAL rep called for us, we went out and boarded the bus. It took about four hours to go to the pier, with a stop on the US side, and the stop for immigration formalities at the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishin' musician Posted April 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 23, 2018 FWIW, I did this on Princess in 2013 and we were combined with HAL passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oceansaway17 Posted April 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I think it is great they offer bus to Canada since for me I can get non stop to Seattle but I can't get non stop to Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taters Posted April 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2018 What is the approximate cost of the HAL shuttle between Seattle and Vancouver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted April 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We used Quick Shuttle from the Seattle airport to the Vancouver cruiseport and it was around $50 as I recall. You might check them out as well as they have nice buses (with wifi) and many cruisers use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted April 25, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Like Dave, I swear by Quick Shuttle. The bus is right there waiting for you in Canada Place. No waiting until later in the day for a bus or train, and having to deal with what to do with your luggage in the meantime. Don't know your age, but they also offer a small senior discount.

Xport Posted April 25, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We used Quick Shuttle from the Seattle airport to the Vancouver cruiseport and it was around $50 as I recall. You might check them out as well as they have nice buses (with wifi) and many cruisers use them. Several days ago, booked Quick Shuttle for transfer from Vancouver [Canada Place] to Sea-Tac in early June... Current pricing is $59 [$55 if age 60 or over]...

MsSoCalCruiser Posted May 17, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 17, 2018 We did round-trip Seattle last week and had shuttle service through HAL. When I went to the baggage claim area there was someone standing there holding a sign with my name on it. Wonderful service! Enjoy your trip!

Since we are on East Coast, we will fly in day before and enjoy a day in Seattle. Did you do the Double Denali land tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkwbear Posted May 18, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 18, 2018 According to my HAL personal cruise consultant, I need to be at the North end of baggage claim near Carousel 16 between 8 and 10 am on the day of sailing. The cost is $69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trapper44 Posted May 19, 2018 #19 Share Posted May 19, 2018 We were told to look for someone wearing a RED vest. Spotted one and asked him where to go. He grabbed our bags and made sure we got on the bus. We did the double Denali and enjoyed the park tour very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted May 20, 2018 #20 Share Posted May 20, 2018 What RuthC described is exactly what we found on Princess. It appeared that both cruise lines meet in that same spot at the very end of the terminal for pickup. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
