Coming back is the part people forget to plan. Here is how a return pickup from the port works.
Book both ways together
Add the return when you book: your ship’s name and the date it comes back.
Choose a pickup time
Allow time to leave the ship and collect your cases; most passengers pick a time a little after their disembarkation slot.
Ship or terminal running late?
Message us on WhatsApp with the new time and we will move your pickup.
Home, hotel or airport
Your driver helps with the cases and takes you wherever you are going next.
Cars With Room for Cruise Luggage
Cruise cases are larger than airport ones, so book by suitcases first. Each price is the lowest fare in the table above.
