RyanLanning Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 We are concluding a Liberty of the Seas sailing on September 18 and have a flight out of George Bush Intercontinental Airport at Noon that day. We're thinking this is pretty tight schedule-wise. What is the best option for getting there promptly without paying anything ridiculous? Lyft? I can book on Galveston Express but online it seems the earliest they can do is leaving at 9 and scheduled to get to the airport around 11. Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated. Two passengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two passengers. For what it is worth, our TA booked us a Royal transfer, but our flight doesn't leave until 2 PM. I don't know if Royal will work for you as I don't know when the bus departs.

ihaoan Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 in March, we pre-booked uber from IAH to the cruise terminal on boarding day ($75, 2 passengers) but no such luck when we returned, the app said not available. But, I didn't try pre-booking ahead of time. We had to use Galveston Limo's shuttle to IAH, which cost twice as much as the uber coming to the terminal. Next time I will try pre-booking uber.

How did you find a ride when you disembarked and the app said unavailable? I don't remember rides available at the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we took the ships transportation and it cost about the same but we did have to wait before the bus left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to figure out what is the earliest I can reasonably fly out of either airport. We can carry off and leave early. Thanks.

Give yourself an hour for a shuttle to Hobby, 90 minutes or so to IAH ihaoan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
