RutzLimo.com holds pickup and drop-off procedures for 148 cruise terminals in ten regions - the Florida and Gulf ports, the West Coast and Alaska, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Baltic, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, South America and Africa - so a transfer between an airport or hotel and the pier is booked instantly with a fixed fare, timed to the ship's embarkation window and, on disembarkation, tracked against the vessel's arrival. The cruise port transfers page explains the day; book a cruise transfer here.
How the port data is used
For each terminal the engine knows where private chauffeured vehicles may drop and collect - a kerb, a forecourt or a designated lot - where the porters' station is, how the terminal handles the walk-off on disembarkation morning, the drive time from the region's airports at embarkation-day hours, and the port's access fee where one applies. Add the ship's name to the reservation and dispatch tracks the vessel through the port on disembarkation day, positioning the chauffeur for your walk-off group. Ports not listed are booked by address and confirmed by dispatch.
Embarkation, disembarkation and the days around them
The transfer to the pier is timed inside the cruise line's embarkation window; from an airport on the same day it is flight-tracked and dispatch says honestly whether the connection is sensible. The transfer from the pier is positioned for the walk-off group and waits with the same complimentary allowance as at an airport. Around the cruise, the travel desk is where the night-before hotel near the port is booked, the hourly chauffeur covers a shore day or a post-cruise afternoon in the city, and the airport limo service handles the flights at either end. Groups sailing together book a Sprinter or a coach through the event desk; the fleet guide explains which class fits cruise luggage, which is heavier than airline luggage.
Shore excursions by private car
A port call with a chauffeur - Civitavecchia to Rome, Livorno to Florence, Le Havre to Paris, Laem Chabang to Bangkok, Cozumel's ruins, Juneau's glacier - is booked as an hourly engagement from the terminal, with the all-aboard time as the chauffeur's deadline and, where the sights are a distance from the port, the distance included in the quote. The cruise port transfers page describes the arrangement and the destinations page lists the cities the ports serve.
