Seattle Post Cruise Hotel/Tour Questions


Recommended Posts

We are sailing from/to Seattle in September on the RCI Explorer. Our flight home doesn't leave till 11:30PM so we're looking at day trip options post cruise. I'm considering a Snoqualmie Falls/Winery tour which picks up at a downtown hotel around 10AM and drops back off around 5PM. That'd give us time to have a relaxing dinner before heading to the airport.

 

My questions:

 

- what time should we plan to debark the ship to get to a downtown hotel before 10? We're planning to use Lyft - or is there another recommendation?

 

- since we're not staying anywhere after the cruise, what hotel would you recommend we be dropped off at - looking for somewhere near Pike Place, as that'll probably be where we'll go for dinner - again, unless there's another recommendation?

 

- has anyone done this tour and if so, would you recommend?

 

Thanks!

RCI usually starts people coming off their ship about 6:30am or so. Travel time from Pier 91 to the downtown area is probably about 30 minutes +/- a few minutes. There are taxi's waiting there when the first people come off and their rate to downtown is, I believe in the $20 range for drop off in the Pike Place Market area. Uber or Lyft rates I have no idea about.

Thanks so much! We've used Lyft in other cities and find it very convenient. I checked on the Lyft app and it's estimating around $10 from the pier to Pike Place. Sounds like we'll have plenty of time to get there for our tour. :)
