cljenkins07 Posted February 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi! I'm new here! This will be my 3rd cruise, but my husband and daughters (2 and 7) first cruise. We are flying into Fort Lauderdale and going on a Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Sea's cruise out of Port Everglades. We are flying in the day of the departure (on a non-stop flight) at about 950 AM and the ship leaves at 4 or 430. We were not planning on bringing her carseat, because it's GIANT. So I was looking at shuttle services. A lot of them say they won't take kids without a carseat (understandable). I've received quotes from many private car services and the price is around $90 one way to include a carseat. It seems there isn't Uber family in that area either. Does anybody know of any shared services that include carseats in that area or a shuttle bus? Just making sure I'm not missing anything! Thanks!!

JohninDC Posted February 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Welcome to the boards! :D You might also post your question on the Family cruise board to see what others have done in your situation. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=49 QLS, MJS, Go Airport and SAS are FLL based shuttle services - I would check with them. The cruise line transfer bus is another option that will not require a car seat. Have you looked at some of the travel car seats/booster seats available from Target, Amazon and others? :confused: The airline will check your seat for free if you choose not to use it on the flight; bringing your own seat ensures that it is properly sized and maintained. Without a seat you will be VERY limited on excursions at your port stops. Please report back and let us know what option you used and how your cruise was. Good luck! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I just assumed that they bus you to the ship excursions and you wouldn't need a carseat on the excursion port. Not that there's a ton we can do, because she is so little. Thanks for the reminder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2018 They do usually bus you on ship sponsored excursions, but if you want to go on your own (taxi to the beach? Shopping?) and save some $$ without the car seat you are stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app OP needs a cab with a car seat -- or an Uber/Lyft or shuttle with a car seat. Those are hard to find.

Given the price difference 90/vs 15, I think I would schlep a car seat and gate check it. OP may not have info regarding the price if they bring their own.
