Book the sailing, not just the port
Send the ship name, cruise line, sailing date and terminal shown in your travel documents. Terminal assignments and access arrangements can change. A port-wide map pin is not enough to locate the correct passenger entrance.
Protect the embarkation deadline
Use the cruise line’s check-in appointment and final boarding deadline. Road time excludes airport formalities, baggage delays and terminal processing. A same-day flight delay can defeat even a short road journey; compare a pre-cruise hotel stay.
Confirm cruise luggage capacity
Cruise passengers often carry large suitcases. Provide the number and size of bags, mobility aids and child seats. A nominal seat count is not a luggage-capacity promise. Larger groups need a vehicle-specific quote.
Arrange the return separately
Disembarkation time is not guaranteed. Confirm the ship, date, terminal and the point at which you can call the driver after customs. A port-to-hotel journey and a port-to-airport journey have different addresses and timing requirements.
