Busses to FLL airport after Seaside cruise?

So no bus transfers thru MSC to the airport like other cruise lines? I hope this isn't the case and will look into it more. If this is the case, it's disappointing.
You enjoy having to sit around and wait till the bus fills up and then make multiple stops at the airport dropping off cruisers. This is the old school method. It's 2018, get rid of your flip phone and try Uber or Lyft. It's substantially quicker and cheaper too.

The shuttle services are OK if you're going to use them on the front end but because of the variables involved in the disembarkation process, it is much easier to use Lyft or Uber. There could be problems with weather or baggage exiting the ship so coordinating with a shuttle could be a problem. You could always play it safe and set it up for 930, but you could get charged wait time if you're late or have to wait around if you're off the ship earlier. That is why so many are recommending Uber or Lyft because of the flexibility.

If you really want to pay much more and wait till 40 people will come to your bus you welcome to book transfer, if not cab or uber much cheaper and faster way.

Do you make a reservation with them way in advance? How do you schedule them to be at the ship at a certain time for disembarkation and back to FLL airport?

 

here is the link: https://www.qualitylimoservice.com

 

we flew into fort laurderdale airport the night before and stayed at one of the hotels they had listed as a pick up. they arrived at the hotel early while we were checking out. made 1 stop at another nearby hotel and then we were off to the port.

on the morning of disembark, they called us to confirm when we would be getting off the ship. we told them we were just going for breakfast and they said, thats ok, just call when you are ready. originally we had scheduled a certain time for pick up, but we called as we were getting off the ship, and asked for a early pick up time. there was a shuttle near by and picked up us within 10 mins of wait time.

it was our first time on msc and was not sure of the debark time, since we did self disembark, so we were glad we were able to get the shuttle earlier than planned. then back to the fort laurderdale airport. would definitely go thru them again....
