chukli Posted April 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Hi: can anyone let me know if I use the self assist disembark service I can be out of terminal to meet Uber ride booked at 8.15am? Edited April 7, 2023 by chukli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted April 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Doable, assuming that there are no delays with the ship’s arrival and US Customs clearing the ship. Plan on doing self assist debarkation and be in position to get off the ship as soon as they make the announcement that debarkation has begun Edited April 7, 2023 by Tapi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted April 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Doable, but not probable. Would not even try. Too many variables. You will need to walk out of the terminal property, across Haborside Dr to 14th St. to meet with Uber. Uber is not allowed in the port facilities until contract with port is signed and to be effective May 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chukli Posted April 7, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Thanks for the feedback. Changed Uber meet up time for 8.45am now which I hope is safer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMutchler Posted April 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 12, 2023 What day of the week is your debarkation? On Sunday mornings, on all recent weeks (I checked each week for last 4 weeks), Uber and Lyft had surge pricing and low availability from about 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. You should be able to get an Uber/Lyft at 8:45 or so, but expect prices to be as much as double what they were in getting from Hobby to the Port, on Sundays. (Thursdays don't seem bad according to another poster, and I have no data for other days of the week.) FWIW, I think (NOT SURE) that if "booking" means using the Uber reservation system, then booking an Uber ride at low-availability times does very little by way of a guarantee (unless you have made a private arrangement with the driver). If you know otherwise, please post. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
