Everyone is always excited when they are about to embark on a Cruise and understandably so! It's an exciting time, especially for those who get such little vacation time. Getting from the airport to the cruise port is the easy part. Most people will book their airport pick ups generally 45 minutes to 1 hour after the flight is scheduled to arrive. Our Driver will call you 15 minutes prior to your scheduled pick up time to let you know where the driver is located so finding each other is easy. Most Cruise Lines allow passengers to embark the ship after 12 Noon. Some Cruise Lines offer early embarkation for those whom have paid a little extra. (Call your Cruise Line for details) We always ask that you ensure that whatever cell phone number you provide when you make your reservation is charged fully and on the day of your travels. It is imperative that you and your driver are able to communicate. Please don't forget your cell phone!

Getting off the ship is an entirely different process altogether. It can be quite stressful if you are a first time cruiser. Here's a fact for you...the average cruise port receives 4 to 6 scheduled cruise ships daily and they all arrive around the same time. Passengers must disembark, claim their luggage, then go through US Customs and Immigration before actually being allowed to leave the terminal building. All of Florida's Cruise Ports have one road in and one road out to exit the Cruise Port. Let's do some math...each cruise ship carries on the average of 2000 guests and when you multiply that by an average of 5 ships per port, that is 10,000 people all trying to leave the port at the same time. Setting aside the newly arriving 10,000 guests whom are leaving on their cruise that same day. So now there is 20,000 people coming in and going out of a cruise terminal. It can be quite the nightmare! We always suggest booking your flight home no earlier than LATE afternoon.

Suggestion: If your flight departs later in the day - STAY ON THE SHIP and don't schedule your pick up time early in the day. The "peak" pick up time from the Cruise Port is between 08:15AM and 09:30AM. Try and schedule between 09:45AM and 11:30AM for your pick up
