K D cruiser Posted April 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2014 We're staying at the Sea Tac Sleep Inn before our cruise and discovered that Seattle Express will pick us up at the hotel and take us to Pier 91, and return us to the Sleep Inn after our cruise. Has anyone done this? Does anyone know if this Seattle Express service is reliable? I'm worried about being stranded if the shuttle doesn't show up either pre or post cruise. Thanks for any info about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assateague Island Princes Posted April 30, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yes, we've used this service when staying at the Sleep Inn (which by the way, we love!) five times - both to Pier 91 from Sleep Inn and to Sleep Inn from Pier 91 - so I guess, in reality, we've used them 10 times in the past!;).......and I will be using this service once again this coming May 18th. They have always been on time, they are very responsive to emails and phone calls, and we have had nothing but excellent experiences using Seattle Express. I would highly recommend both Seattle Express and Sleep Inn. You done good!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the reservation on line and received a confirmation within two hours after booking. You get about 4 times to pick from. In my confirmation it tells you to be in the lobby 5 minutes early. For the return they tell you where to meet after exiting the terminal and sign in with them. They start running shuttles at7:30. So far I have been impressed. From their website they serve several hotels in the seatac area. I can tell you after June 1st how the rest of the service is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglecw Posted May 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2014 We've used Seattle Express before and found them to be excellent. Clean vans and courteous drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K D cruiser Posted May 1, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thanks everyone for your responses. This will be our third time staying at the Sea Tac Sleep Inn, but first time using Seattle Express. I was a little nervous because it sounds like a great deal and almost too good to be true. Now I can relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K D cruiser Posted May 2, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Our cruise is July 13, should I book Seattle Express now or wait until closer to the cruise? Do you call to remind them or has anyone had a problem with Seattle Express forgetting to pick them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assateague Island Princes Posted May 2, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Book now, they tend to fill up for preferred pick-up times. They won't forget. I usually send them a reminder email about a week prior, and have never once had a problem. Matt and his staff are very good about reservations and keeping up with them. Good luck!

Assateague Island Princes Posted May 5, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 5, 2014 As the previous poster stated, book on-line. That is how I have always done it with no problems. Enjoy! You're gonna LOVE Alaska:D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K D cruiser Posted May 6, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I submitted the online reservation request yesterday and have already received a confirmation notice from Matt. I'm so glad I found out about this shuttle service. Cruise critic is the best. Thanks everyone for all the information I've received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted May 6, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Seattle Express runs scheduled runs from almost all airport hotels and is very reliable. They do this daily so its not like you need to worry. Some sites advertise but they come only when booked. Since Seattle Shuttle has done this for many yrs you can be a bit more relaxed, however like anything in travel reconfirming the day or two before is always good.

NEMMRRC Posted May 23, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Does Seattle Express drop off at a private residence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted May 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Does Seattle Express drop off at a private residence? That would be Shuttle Express which is another well established company in Seattle. You can get shared service or private. For that price, I'd look at flatrateforhire or eastsideforhire. Use their web site to calculate the fare.

jmd958 Posted May 29, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks everyone for the recommendations! I just booked the Sleep Inn and emailed Matt and got our transfer arranged! He answered within minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misty57 Posted May 29, 2014 #16 Share Posted May 29, 2014 We are also booked at Sleep Inn and with Seattle express for August. I'm glad to hear such great reviews for both. I understand they also make complimentary shuttles to a near by mall which will be great for dinner night before and night after the cruise.

kireelady Posted June 9, 2014 #17 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'd like to book with SE for my parents and am concerned about the pick up from the pier. I've read that it's a bit of a walk to their vans. Is that true and is it doable for a bit an older couple with luggage? I'd hate to book them for it and then it not be something they can handle. I'd feel awful. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your parents can pull there bags that far they shouldn't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
