Sailing day

How your sailing day works

1

You land at SEA

We track your flight. Your chauffeur knows if you are early or late and is ready when you land.

2

We load your bags

Your chauffeur meets you and loads all your cruise luggage. Only your group rides.

3

Straight to your ship

We drive directly to Pier 66 or Pier 91 and drop you at the terminal for check-in.

Private shuttle from the cruise port to SeaTac

When your cruise ends, your chauffeur waits at the terminal pickup area. We confirm the exact spot before your trip. Then we drive you to SeaTac Airport, a hotel or your home.

Disembarkation mornings are busy, and taxi lines at the piers can be long. With a private shuttle booked ahead, you walk off the ship and go.

Tips

Tips for summer cruise travelers

Land by late morning

For a same-day sailing, choose a flight that lands by late morning. This leaves time for delays.

Book early for summer

Summer weekends are busy. Our vans and SUVs book out first.

Check your terminal

Your cruise documents say Pier 66 or Pier 91. See the cruise ship schedule.

Customer stories

Real rides, real customers

Stories from our Google reviews.

After an Alaska cruise: Pier 91 to a downtown hotel

  • Trip: Pier 91 → downtown Seattle hotel
  • Group: Couple with many cruise bags
  • Vehicle: Lincoln Navigator

The pickup was set for 10 am. The ship docked early and the couple had their bags by 9 am. They sent a text, and the driver was there in 5–8 minutes for an early pickup.

“Everything was impeccable, from booking to communications to pick up and drop off.”— Denice D., Google review, July 2026

Fly in, see Seattle, then board the cruise

  • Trip: SEA Airport → Space Needle → Pike Place → cruise ship
  • Group: 10 people
  • Service: Private city tour on sailing day

The group landed early on sailing day. Instead of waiting at the terminal, they booked a private tour between the airport and the ship and saw the Space Needle and Pike Place Market.

“We highly recommend Carina to anyone looking for more than just a ride.”— Jill L., Google review, August 2026
