Just the Basics

Flights must come into Seattle-Tacoma International (airport code: SEA)
Transfers are $27 pp each way ($54 round-trip)

Option #1

Book Royal Caribbean’s airfare

Choice Air:
If you'd like to choose your routing schedule, you can choose to book "Choice Air". These rates are subject to change until paid in full. Transfers are not included in the price but can be added. In most cases, flights are non-refundable and no changes can be made once booked. Flights are customizable and you can choose to book Coach, First Class or Business Class.

To book your own Choice Air reservation, go to www.ChoiceAir.com Check rates as often as you'd like and then when you are ready...go ahead and book. You will need your reservation number, Ship name (Rhapsody of the Seas) and sailing date (15JUN2012) in order to book. Full payment is due at the time of booking. Once booked, Cruise & Crop will receive notification and we'll send you an updated confirmation.

Option #2

Book your own air and arrive on 6/14/12.
Book the pre-cruise hotel & transfers through Royal Caribbean.

Call Cruise & Crop for current rates on 1-night pre-hotel options through Royal Caribbean. These rates would also include your transfer to the pier (but you’d have to get your own transfer from the airport to the hotel the night before). Hotel stays must be booked before March 20, 2012. After this deadline, hotel packages may not be available.

1-Night Pre cruise hotels being offered - Based on double occupancy

  • Westin Seattle $174.04 pp
  • Westin Seattle Deluxe $189.66 pp
  • Hyatt at Olive Eight $140.28 pp

You’d also need to purchase a one-way transfer from the pier to the airport for after the cruise.  This is $27 pp.

Hotel rates vary based on how many people are in the room. Rates are subject to change and are based on availability.

Option #3

Book your own air and arrive on 6/15/12.
Book Royal Caribbean Transfers

If you book your own flights, flights must arrive at the Seattle airport no later than 12:30 p.m. on 6/15/12 and leave no earlier than 11:45 p.m. on 6/22/12.  Round-trip transfers can be purchased for $54 pp.

NOTE:  You CANNOT book your own air & hotel (to arrive on 6/14/12) and still purchase Royal Caribbean transfers.  If you do everything on your own, you’ll have to find your own transportation to and from the pier.  The airport is approx. 30 miles from the pier. Visit http://www.portseattle.org/seaport/cruise/ for a list of Shuttles, Taxies and Rental companies. Cruise & Crop does not operate or control in any respect the services provided by these companies, nor does it guarantee their performance.
