fsdj1097 Posted April 25, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2005 We will be taking AmTrak from Seattle to Vancouver for our May 21st sailing on the HAL Zaandam. There will be 6 of us. Will there be any shuttles from the AmTrak Station to Canada Place? What would you recommend as the most economical way? Thanks for your replies!

Yukon Posted April 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2005 It's less than 2 miles, so a couple of cabs is the easiest. Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb in Cali Posted April 25, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Another possibility (if everyone is able to walk a block with their luggage) is to go on the skytrain. It is less than a block from the Amtrack station. If you go out the front door of the station look to your left about 10 o'clock. You will need Canadian money to purchase your tickets. Canada station is about 2 or 3 stops away. It is heading in the direction away from the train station. Canada place is cattycorner from the Sky train station. Have fun.

fsdj1097 Posted April 25, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted April 25, 2005 We will have an assistance required person with us, so we'll go with the Taxi option. I saw from an earlier post that we should be able to pay the cabbie with a credit/debit card. Has this been your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancycoop1 Posted April 25, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Do you know the cost of the cab from the amtrak station to the cruise dock? We will be taking a cab from the dock to the station. Thanks Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tetleytea Posted April 25, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I know the Skytrain is $2 Canadian/pp. P.S. I'm glad to see people are taking the Amtrak option. That's a scenic route in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted April 25, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2005 A cab should be $7-8 somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
