We are leaving Houston on 2/1/15 on Emerald Princess. Our hotel doesn't provide shuttle service and recommended Travel Zone:mad:

Arrangements were made. There were a total of 8 at this hotel and we got together through CC and booked a van. We had all contacted Travel Zone:mad: by the first of the year and were confirmed.

 

On 1/27/15 got an email from Travel Zone:mad: that all shuttles are cancelled from Jan 30 to Feb 23. No explanation...just cancelled.

One of the members of our group called and asked "why?", the response was that they are "overbooked". For a MONTH!!???:mad:

 

Another member of our group called and was told that Travel Zone:mad: is no longer servicing the Bayport area.

 

We scrambled and made other arrangements. Today got a phone call from Travel Zone:mad:. "We now have a vehicle available, would you like to reschedule?" They must be joking!!!

 

Which is it Travel Zone?? Are you overbooked? Or are you pulling out of Bayport?

 

Suggestion: don't use Travel Zone!!!!!

Just curious which hotel you are staying at. Our hotel recommended them for our transfer from George Bush Airport to the hotel. Now I think I'd better check on other options. Any opinions on transfer companies from the airport. Thanks!

We drove, so not familiar with airport transfers.

We ended up with AAA taxi (don't know if they operate at the airport).

I see Super Shuttle all over town in fairly new vans etc...I'd say they do a decent job and have a good national reputation as well.

 

Sorry the front end of the cruise is off to such a rocky start for the OP and friends. Enjoy the cruise despite the bumpy beginning.
