dthogue Posted November 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2017 We will getting off HAL Nieuw Amsterdam in Vancouver on Sat. June 30th. We are taking the Amtrak bus to Seattle. I was looking at the 11:30 bus. Do we have enough time to disembark and get to the station on time. What is the best way to get there? Taxi? I would prefer not to do self walk off, but will do so if this is the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted November 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I'll reiterate what I posted on your HAL thread - don't take the Amtrak bus. There's literally only one circumstance where it's sensible - if you are connecting to a train somewhere else (so that you are 'in the system' from your first leg). All the other (better) buses go from the same spot - as do trains - which is not much over a mile away and <$10 by cab, except QuickShuttle which goes right from the pier. You could not possibly fail to make it to Pacific Central station by 11:30am time even if you are the last people off the ship, so your only risk is a catastrophic delay in arrival at the pier (engine failure etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted November 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Thoughts.... I really like the Quick Shuttle idea..... straight from the pier without any transfers or cab waits. June 30th is a long weekend.... the area will be super busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHappyGal Posted November 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Use the Quick Shuttle Bus not the Amtrak... Quick Shuttle will be direct pier to downtown Seattle... Much better option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
