Seattle Disembark timing question

[lightsleeper]

Disembarking Crown Princess after Alaska cruise on Saturday August 1,2015

Have 11 AM flight

Will be using private pick-up service for transportation to SEATAC.

Haven't decided which one yet

Self disembarking

Crown is "scheduled" to arrive Seattle 7 AM

What time should I schedule pick-up service for? Possibly 7:30 or 8 AM?

Anybody have experience with this AND how is delayed disembark handled by private pick-up companies

To be safe, I would do the 8am. Good luck. This is not allowing you any spare minutes...

I'll give my standard advice:

SeaTac is a 30 minute drive from either pier, but to be safe, allow 1 hour due to city events, tunnel/hwy construction, and the usual congestion.

For a domestic flight you should be at SeaTac 2 hrs prior to departure. The airport is extremely busy during the summer, especially on weekends when thousands of cruise passengers beat feet to SeaTac for noon flights.

So backing into that .... you should be in your car by 8am for an 11am flight.

Aug 1 is the start of SeaFair Weekend so no later than 8am.

 

Your driver will advise you of the designated meeting spot at the parking lot for reserved cars.

Do yourself a favor, spend a few nights at a hotel post cruise and avoid the mass of humanity at SEATAC.
