Seattle to Vancouver transfer, for 5 people
Hello,
(It's been far too long since I last planned a cruise using rec.travel.cruises, so it's nice to be back. We're sailing on back to back coastal-and-Alaskan itineraries, starting in San Pedro/LA and ending in Seattle...12 lovely days of cruising!) We have a group of 5 (3 adults, 2 children age 3), and will need to get back to Vancouver after our cruise. With our two strollers, two car seats, three large suitcases, four carry ons...so just hopping in a taxi for the bus station won't do. Amtrak or greyhound bus? -- We've decided that the 5+ hour bus ride would likely be a bit difficult for our active girls. I'm sure it's doable, but it might not be overly comfortable. Would still require getting a taxi van or two taxis to the bus station with all the luggage. Train? -- only leaves once a day, at 7:40am. This would require a hotel overnight, and a taxi in the early am to the train. We are having some difficulty agreeing on hotels amongst the adults. We'd likely splurge for business class and friendly redcap service with the luggage. But, we'd still have to *get* to the train station with all the luggage. Car rental? We'd need a van or SUV, on a one way rental, but are having difficulty finding anything affordable (eg under $300US). I did find an AVIS rental for $287 without any mileage included....This rate would atleast provide us with transportation for the weekend and a ride to the Vancouer airport at the end of our stay. Transfer - RCI doesn't provide a coach transfer to Vancouver on this itinerary. As lovely as Seattle surely is, we *do* need to get back home, via Vancouver! Any thoughts or ideas welcomed. |
