toro1100 Posted April 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2017 It's getting really confusing. Some say they used RCCL Transfers from the port to the airport as recently as a couple weeks ago. Some say there's no more cruiseline transfers available for the port of Galveston, and that they checked it with the RCCL. We're planning on using the Galveston Limo Service from the airport to the port, because even if something goes wrong, we would have a relatively comfortable way to spend the waiting time at the airport with two little kids. But on the way back from the port to the airport, I'd really like to have more control because I don't fancy waiting outside the terminal for hours if luck is not on our side. (One Yelp reviewer casually mentioned waiting two hours out in the heat...) Is there anybody who could give me a definitive answer? Thanks in advance.

TNcruising02 Posted April 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yes, there are RCL transfers available both from the airport to the cruise port and from the cruise port to the airport. I am cruising on the Liberty of the Seas out of Galveston and this is what is available on my cruise planner: We'll provide you with ground transportation if you are flying into or out of an airport near the port. Just let us know your flight information. It's that easy. TransfersSelect the Air flight arrangements you require before and after the cruise. Standard Air Arrangements include scheduled air service or chartered flights to the departure port city for your cruise vacation.

toro1100 Posted April 24, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) I am cruising on Liberty too out of Galveston, but my cruise planner doesn't show any of those. Time to go check. Thanks! ------------ I still don't see the option on my cruise planner. Could it be that it's only available to those who use their Air services?

cruzgryphon Posted April 24, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I am cruising on Liberty too out of Galveston, but my cruise planner doesn't show any of those.Time to go check. Thanks! ------------ I still don't see the option on my cruise planner. Could it be that it's only available to those who use their Air services? Typically the airport to port and port to airport transfers don't show up on Cruise Planner unless they are tagged to an excursion with Airport drop off. If you want to reserve before the cruise - contact your Travel Agent or Royal Caribbean directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted April 24, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Mine aren't tied to an excursion, but I did enter my flight information as part of the check-in process. Maybe it shows up after you enter your flight information. They probably don't let you book the transfers until they are sure your departure flight leaves after a certain time because you can't book it if you have an early flight.

kle50 Posted April 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm just starting to look at flights for October 8th cruise. When I got flight information from AirtoSea you have the option to include transfers if you wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
