Cruise port transfers by charter bus
A cruise transfer is an airport run with more luggage and a hard deadline. Plan for both.
Only permitted operators can work the port
Each port controls who drives in. Port Canaveral needs a port authority permit, PortMiami a business permit and transponder, Galveston a permit and toll tag. Whichever one you sail from, we book an operator already set up for it.
What the rules require
- Port Canaveral: operators need a port authority permit and prepaid, pre-arranged fares.
- Port Everglades bus services need a Port Everglades Business Permit.
Size the bus for the bags, not the headcount
A week of luggage fills a vehicle faster than people do. Every exit has to stay clear of bags, so a group that fits a minibus by seats may need a motorcoach with under-floor bays. On sailing day, leave margin between the flight and boarding. A late flight is not the ship's problem.
Disembark day is the other half. Give us a realistic time off the ship, not the docking time on the itinerary.
Questions
Can the bus take us from the airport directly to the ship?
Yes, if the timing allows. Flying in the day before removes most of the risk.
How long can a bus wait at the terminal?
Not long. Port Canaveral, for one, limits loading zones to 15 minutes.
Can you pick us up after the cruise?
Yes. Send the ship, date and a realistic time off the ship.
