Cruise Port Transfers

Cruise terminals reward people who know which gate to use. Ours do — including which pier your ship is berthed at on the day, which is rarely the one on the ticket.

Embarkation: the right terminal, at the right hour

A cruise port is not one address. PortMiami has multiple terminals; Port Everglades has more; Galveston, Canaveral and Cape Liberty each assign berths by sailing. Your boarding pass names a terminal letter or number that changes between sailings, and a chauffeur who takes you to the wrong one costs you an hour in a queue of taxis.

We match the terminal to the ship and the sail date at the time of booking, and we schedule the drop-off inside your assigned boarding window rather than at the earliest possible moment — arriving three hours early at a cruise terminal buys you a longer queue, not a better seat.

Debarkation: pier pickup without the scrum

Disembarkation mornings are chaotic and the published times are optimistic. We hold the car and give you ninety minutes of complimentary wait from your stated pier time, because customs clearance for a full ship is measured in hours, not minutes. You text when you clear; the car is at the pickup lane in minutes.

For groups we can stage several vehicles and load them in sequence, which is the difference between a wedding party of thirty getting to the airport together and getting there over four hours.

Port-to-airport, and the pre-cruise night

Most cruise bookings pair with a flight. We quote airport-to-pier and pier-to-airport as fixed fares, and we can add a hotel night, a city tour on the gap day or a stop at a provisioning store on the way to the pier. The Travel Center books the hotel and the flight alongside the car if you want one invoice.

Questions

Cruise Port Transfers: frequently asked

How do you know which terminal my ship uses?

Berth assignments are published by the port authority and the cruise line per sailing. We match your ship name and sail date to the assigned terminal when the reservation is made and re-check it the day before.

How long will the chauffeur wait on disembarkation day?

Ninety minutes of complimentary wait from your stated pier time. Customs clearance for a full ship is slow and the fare assumes it.

Can you carry cruise luggage?

Yes — this is why we default to an SUV or a Sprinter for cruise work rather than a sedan. Tell the desk the bag count and it will size the vehicle.

Can you take a group of thirty from the pier to the airport?

Yes, on a staged manifest with several vehicles loaded in sequence, or on a single mini bus or motorcoach.

Travel Center · powered by BookingWorldwide.net

Book the flight, the hotel and the car in one place

Ground transportation is one line of a trip. The Travel Center covers the rest — flights, hotels, resorts, activities, packages and car rental — so the chauffeur is timed to the arrival that was actually booked, not the one somebody remembered.
