peter pan Posted May 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2019 We decided to stay a few days in Dublin after our cruise. From what I had read taxi’s would be difficult to get so we decided on a private Car. Dublin is a busy working port. Traffic is heavy and slow. They are not really set up for cruise ships. We made reservations with LfL. They do transfers, tours and golf. Yes, golf. It’s Ireland. This was the BEST decision we ever made! When we got off of the ship and found our bags we found the “private transport” sign and followed it out to find our driver. I happened to look over at the taxi line. Think of the OV buffet crowd and add luggage. It was bad. Cabs were only coming in one at a time. Slowly. The line really was not moving. Our driver found us and literally shouldered his way through the crowd with our luggage and across the parking lot. The cars are not allowed into the passenger area and on this day it was a walk across the macadamed lot. A black Ford SUV (?) was waiting. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Miles loaded us and then our luggage, gave us bottled water and we were off. He answered questions and gave us suggestions and insight for our days in Dublin. Miles was professional, well dressed and well spoken. He also handled the traffic well! We were on a Celebrity cruise and I believe that the contract with the port expires. Next year is the last for the port of Dublin unless things change. If you do disembark in Dublin consider a private transfer. It will improve your holiday experience.

eden Posted May 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2019 What does LfL stand for. We are interested in transfer from Dublin port to hotel as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogLover Posted May 23, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Completely agree. LFL stand for Limos for Less, an awesome company providing private transport options: https://www.lflcs.com/ We used LFL for 3 separate transfers May of last year, Airport to Hilton Kilmainham, Hilton Kilmainham to Dublin Port and finally Dublin Port to Hotel Grand Malahide. Upon our arrival in Dublin, it took about 1 1/2 hours to clear immigration as several overseas flights arrive in a very short time frame. Our driver from LFL waited for us, knowing the situation, and we did not incur any overtime charges. We were very pleased with each driver and would highly recommend this company!
