Seattle-Vancouver Same Day Train?

[svanda]

Still deciding if booking a flight to Seattle or Vancouver. Vancouver will be more expensive but hassle free. What is the latest one can embark at the Wonder on Vancouver? The train from Seattle to Vancouver arrives at Vancouver at 11:45am. Give or take, might be arriving at Canada Place 1 hour later. Will it be on time?

Yes, it's doable.... arriving just before noon. You'll be through customs about 12:30 and in a taxi. You should arrive at the cruise terminal before 1pm.

Another option is the Seatac shuttle that will drop you off at the cruise terminal. This will save you the hassle to getting from the Seatac airport to the downtown train station.

To clarify... is your flight arriving at Seattle at 6am? To minimize the risk... it may be easier to just flyin to Vancouver a day or two early and then just stay at a cheaper hotel away from the cruise terminal.

Thanks. Decided to fly directly to Vancouver. When I added all the cost of train, taxi, hotel,etc the difference was maybe $200. Decided to spend it and travel hassle and worry free.
