My husband and I are cruising on the Vision of the Seas docking in Seattle on May 19th. Need some advice please on a painless way to get to Vancouver airport. Our flight back to the UK is on the 20th so we are not rushed. Driving ourselves is not an option

Here is one option:

Quickcoach is probably the best option. There are choices of times and pickup/dropoff points. You can reserve now, and I'd recommend doing so, as it's pretty much the only game in town by land. There are ferries, but they do not go directly between Seattle and Vancouver; you have to go to Victoria and possibly Port Angeles (Washington) first, and change ferries. That's a hassle with luggage.

Do you know of a charter to get to and from Sacramento to San Francisco? on May 20, 2006.

We found flights from sea to vancouver for $99. 50 min flight. See United Airways. Otherwise it's a 31/2 hr trip by shuttle.

I would pay the one way air on United. I found the Quick Shuttle not so "Quick". They stopped at hotels along the way picking up more people, and midway even stopped at a party store/gas station to pick up people. The first hour out of Seattle was ok, checking out the new scenery, but after that it became very boring and tiresome.
