Seattle Q&A/FAQ

[PNWCruise]

Do you have more details on these "Contract Limos"? 4 of us will be arriving in SEA at around 1pm on Thursday 7/24 for the 7/25 RCL Rhapsody sailing. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get to the Sheraton downtown. According to the airport website cabs (it says they have station wagons and vans) are running around $35, airporter shuttle would be $44....and a limo would be $60?? Worth a couple of extra bucks while on vacation.....Do I have to call in advance and set something up? Thanks.

Pat: They have an exclusive contract with the Port Authority, but I don't know which of the local companies they are using right now. All you need to do is get to the third level of the parking garage, to the ground transportation desk, and they will get one for you.

Tell Karen we hope she feels better soon. Either she is dictating to you from her deathbed or you are clone of her, becasue reading your posts is just like she was writing the words. What a good daughter. Look forward to meeting you on the Golden in Sept!

 

Teresa: Clone indeed :eek:

[PNWCruise]

You are Welcome, most everything came from reading Karen's posts.

Glad to hear that you did. The whole Millenium thing confuses me though. Infinity was supposed to have been here on Friday, and I don't know what was up with that....

[wrp96]

Millenium was in Seattle on Thursday on a port of call stop - she was on her repo from San Francisco to Vancouver. Infinity was in front of the hotel on Friday - like she was supposed to be - I just haven't uploaded those pictures yet (waiting until I get to Juneau).

OK, that's better. I'm a little more confused than usual right now, so now I feel better about it.

Yep, some little virus apparently is a lot stronger than big old me.

 

Of course, PVSA is totally gone now, too. If/when something happens, we will bring it back.

Okay, I will bite. What happened to PVSA this time? Did someone get cranky? :confused:

No comment. It's safer that way. Ask me when you see me.

We will be staying at the Springhill Suites at 1800 Yale Ave - is there a grocery store/liquor store anywhere close where we can pick up some soda and wine prior to boarding?

Not really. The closest grocery store would be at 23rd and Madison, and the nearest state store would be at 2nd and Seneca.

Rum..state store.

 

Sodas could be had at Minor and Republican, yes, which is just a few blocks from the Residence Inn.

[cruisinlawn]

Weather has been pretty decent the past few days, which should be good for your cruise.

Hi. I'm totally confused with all the different transportation options!!! I was hoping you could suggest the best transportation from SeaTac airport to the Downtown Sheraton -- We (my wife and I, and our 2 pre-teen sons) will be arriving on Saturday at 9:00 PM. We'll probably have about five pieces of luggage.

 

We are also planning on taking a quick trip to the Space Needle on Sunday morning right when it opens at 9:00 AM, go up in it, look around for a few minutes, and head back to the hotel before check-out and then right to the pier -- is the monorail our best route to and from the Space Needle, and is the station a fairly short walk from the Sheraton?

 

Finally, what would be the cheapest way to get from the Sheraton to Pier 66 on Sunday morning, with the 4 of us and our luggage? I'm sorry for all the questions, and I really appreciate all your help

Nope, there is a blue law here. No Sunday sales at the state stores.

As far as the Home Market is concerned (the little grocery) they are open 6:30 am to 8 pm on Friday, 8 am to 6 pm on Saturday, and 9 am to 5 pm on Sunday. I live right across the street, so will wave at you when you come in to pick up your water and sodas.
